what we think is important to us but what happens in america this presidential election year i can tell you what the british people as a whole thing if anything about all these questions like i can invite if they don't have three of the most forthright an independent minded man in british public life between and they cover a pretty broad spectrum of political opinion the right honorable you know paul and p is a former conservative cabinet minister and members of operative and controversial opinions he resigned to one conservative government and refuse to serve another the night leading member of the conservative opposition to shadow cabinet once upon a time he was a professor of greek that we have is because of the menu and labour mp who resigned last year from his job as native minister of mr wilson's government in pakistan said the principle is not what britain is to withdraw from each have saved by nineteen seventy one letter bomb to bomb more or less what was amazing it will only back benchers now lowell bergman will be remembered by many americans in the days when the sun damage and you became quite a
television star in united states because of the tough talking to the russians in the security council that was when he was britain's man of united nations a poster on his essay which he displayed a greater capacity for plain speaking to no higher than is normally associated with a british diplomat a half have operatic is a distinguished athletic celebrities now deputy leader of the liberal party and a possible diplomatic popescu festival many americans are obviously deeply concerned about the company's position in the world just happened and what their natural purpose is the war in vietnam the threat of racial war in their cities and now international monitory difficulties affecting their economy so we have the richest most powerful country in the world with many people apparently beginning to lose confidence in our ability to coco their difficulties and perhaps even the whole the american democratic system now how do you see that this shift of america would you
remind me when you mentioned that that we met at the security council for the united kingdom you reminded me was extremely change there is of course in the united states prestige and end situation the world today when i think back to those days the jobs she did with the marshall plan against hellenism it was magnificent she had the moral and political and economic leadership really the world and i sometimes think when the americans and i didn't understand how well and on bastille in vietnam today and says they still seem to me to be kicked the tires by the fall that they're being pinned down by this great black menace of communism and wean your see quite a different picture we see the west with and prevailing over the east we did in europe we see as far as we're concerned thanks largely to americans that we won the ideological war and one of the things that strikes me today about the american attitude and rendition is that i think an dude appreciation of what they've done and that refusal to take a more relaxed if only they could relax a little bit i think they might be able to handle these terrible problems of vietnam and race a bit more success to be
relaxed for negative ripple seventy casualties and troops in vietnam not a war in which the connection is big is it now a sign of excessive pension to go up so foreign you see they've gone far too far and when you look now with a fresh mind their position in southeast asia what are they gaining fall the enormous sacrifices and courage of the show what they gaining and what is the world gaining from it it seemed perfectly plain to me that they had been led by this rather exaggerated picture of world communism into accepting a commitment and accepting sacrifices and weighing in far the news in their interest or in the interest for you you know well yes i agree with them made you that the american position to them today rests upon a fundamental misconception or generate a highly caricature misconception all the layouts of forces in the world in particular and particularly inside the station no one finds it difficult to see selfie station as it seems to appear to the
typical american policy but i send it back to the fundamental question and the fact of it being asked to talk what is the mission of the united states in the world it seems to me a pathological side when the nation is asking itself what is our mission in the world if so if we have been doing it in recent years it's a sign of are certainly a nation which is going places is not ask itself where it is going it is living and this is a man who takes his temperature for march are you certainly deal probably meant to you if he isn't physically healthy and doesn't think he's desperately knows it's all right abby to the side of my life is simply to pass because i'm on the highway and not an ideological nation to find people say what is our mission in the world will govern
well and another agree with them christian bale and you know speaking of comeback america i have a new weekly of and i didn't get it get an impression that the americans so a lucrative depressed and pretty lonely but it's not only i think vietnam of the dominance of the things i think that is not only i think three race problem which is becoming more true it's not only i think the balance in a new way so fundamental that i think is a kind of crisis of confidence among younger generation who don't quite know what it's all to but the suggestion by society and the water rose through georgia could be in one hard one can lead to but i think this is something which is affecting the end america but also the other industrialized nations in the west of course but also about tv on the uncut and it's a kind of revolution going on the current turmoil and out of that something's going to happen
and i think broadly speaking he come true the candidate mccarthy and the train them represent this growing new force a young people of cogs in the machine and a lot of what the organization than necessarily what was something new women were they want a row row they represent these tendencies are still a minority in america but wilcox become majority soon and i think that the contest in the american presidential election and will be virginia's so despite these great new forces on the cote forces of conservatism of the american flag and hanging on all gazans on which represented by the president and you have you see the choice of candidates and they in nineteen sixty eight well there's nothing more foolish than for politicians in one country who think they understand politics in another we barely understand it you know on and indeed it's very difficult for a conservative to know what is going on inside the labour party so on or to
realize how distant and distorted view is of the realities of american politics what strikes me is that there are now many more courses but after a period in which there was almost complete uniformity of the manifestations of opinion in the united states are alarming uniformed mccarthy in particular seems to show how necessary a voice was for my standpoint which must've existed about which has been suppressed i don't mean physically surprised that which hasn't been voiced during the last two or three years so the multiplicity of voices which now seems to be a rising and the multiplicity of representatives of points of view that seems to an outsider as an encouraging feature is free discussion without american in the world
are you worried about the future of the free world in this country if america is humiliated in vietnam and perhaps therefore the american people feel very great reluctance ever again today can own involvement and eight would drop to fortress america yes i think that one's mine to feel that if i did that does cool wrong in vietnam if in fact they are defeated then on christmas day not only will a similar situations of potential guerrilla warfare and so on the guerrillas the chinese and the russians will be pushed or said this will be that extent encouraged i think there's no question about that but frankly that's no good job in backwards because the loss of prestige in the encouragement to the communists would be nothing like so great that the americans have been launched out beyond in my view their political strength and that therefore really made inevitable or so mr matthew when they do that well if it is true and i agree with that analysis then let's face it the sooner a revision takes place
however painful all the american strategy in vietnam the better it's its new sitting and say that here is a train which is rushing into an obstacle how absolutely terrible we just have to put a brake on as soon as possible and the sooner it is put on the less the impact of the collision is going to be grist for that that is going to be an impact even in the best conceivable but the sooner that is recognized on the sooner they the bricks they make sure that issues are actually two in the list that inevitable reaction i do just that on this visit to it is so important to all of history since the war shows that the more the relaxation and this unit on the marxist side the less the crisis the more this unity on the marxist side mark sisson is a philosophy of conflict and crisis and really everything so clearly that if you relax they fall apart and the west when for both of
these are not something terribly hard it feel for americans to examine them and it only true when it's a technique of jujitsu understand you've forgotten your photo opponent for them to embrace as michael bitzer that's what you all are saying and thus it's an odd thing to do in a way i think that we were great alter starts with the assumption that they might have just not going to get out of the forced out of vietnam just like that bush and lucy you have some do i think it's a good thing but i don't think it's a good thing and i've gotten a fuckin to happen again the stig on the somme went on the masses a negotiated but other than that the what may come out of this is that they will somehow arrive at some kind of acceptable compromise alone point of view them and ultimately decisions like his adoptive couple together i think they did a couple of elections that doesn't mean that anything else and that was picked up and they would have a problem in question might make an important effect on the memo and the public opinion in the guard troops in germany and we'll
hear a great american cities you give that chevron you have any views to who you would refers to the idea that every day his favorite python backing one candidate it nonetheless i mean let's have a look at that the fee that i must say i don't mind saying if i must say that my natural political sympathies go in the direction of the kennedy and mccarthy i mean it must be so that's where i feel really and a corset understand it they haven't said look and in gyms means a lot to them that we should suddenly it just move out of this seems to me if you ask how british people now about the american candidates and frankly i'm afraid they would understand the propaganda the city has made that great impact yet but i can't help feeling that kennedy because he's young because he's taken out what seems to us i think of moralistic you on their families but i believe it has recovered john doe well because of
mccarthy new hampshire but nevertheless he's also about john kennedy's image man and i feel like in this country that they could be the feeling towards him when i'm i'm bound to refining get my own view i'm bound to say that i'm a walk much of our mind and like walk on by undersea live not yet discovered from the opponents will any alternative to president johnson policy which would offer a better hope of a solution human on that way was so good i had a small bet melissa leo ago i think of as to when it lets them affectively of the war in vietnam would come to some kind of end and i learned you know for me after the next presidential election now how that's going to have the faintest idea that i could set that out of all this great enormous tome of america something is going to happen to change of course as you said yourself my well as a president i think a poem a change of course sternberg which we have in this country with another nine hundred million pounds of taxation imposed on the long suffering british public radio depend on what
happens in america the american economy what you are some of those who shouldn't believe that the bank has been talking for the last twenty years have had to meet most of the catalyst we are packed in the situation of our country we have no option but to what we think the american people do with their economy in the present in the national monument moment of that had to stop pretending about will not stop pretending about the bill they have pretended for twenty for twenty years during ten which it was no longer true that the dollar or that the amounts of feingold was worth thirty five dollars no more mms that pretense was broken down has been a pretense for at least a decade we are assisting in the pretense that the relative values of the dollars a pound of frank the rock the live in august and to remain unalterably fixed unless the international monitory fund five pistol and says let there be a change this
he's an absurdity and even the nation's powerful and as rich as the united states if he continues to maintain an absurd proposition yet often get will go bankrupt and will find that they tested in prison itself increasingly some restrictions that's what's been happening and even know that they are partially liberated from gold it will continue to happen as long as they'd let as long as they refuse to let the dollar and the other currencies price them so you want to go to run completely free but it is running free at the moment except for fool's gold which we're keeping imprisoned in order to maintain the fixed relative pages of occurrences fly it for this extent of that in the long term this certain dual system and we're going to buy cigarettes and i look forward to the demon inside the asian girl and you know essentially placement by civilized international drawing regiment oh indeed a common currency this is what austin's woman must look for proof that you can suddenly get it as he knocks on this day and there were the one thing i would have the
americans will not do it to gaza charney their problems maintaining this huge expenditure in viet nam and the flaking and and that and cutting off their imports from the rest of the world if that happens they'll be a cyclical beef nation brought the world and really we shall be missing but what message is they do to play and they've got a corrective balance of payments in some way and they'll have analysis i think that quite honestly are example here might be helped wedding they must cuts in government expenditure i get to talk about that difference three not two constitutions in america bia president announces that he wants to make a certain tax check and alex discuss the many months of email may not get it through congress sometimes not in this country the chance of the chicken come down without killing anybody colleagues that before no discussion an imposed nine hundred and thirty million pounds of dictation immediate decision to become an effective decision from the government on you know discussion of the american system that your discussion president hans kung of the congress won't now which is about us as well the americans do is overwhelming in london
and involve more than eighty very consistently do arrive at decisions and the surprising that when they do and i'm much more democratic way i think that we do no reason gay the tax hike i think the yeah i think frankly that the american systems got lost peaches now this oslo to write when there was a clear cut two party system which meant something but today you know you've got the prime minister that dominating the house of commons and we fought back bench members of parliament if we take something that the government collapses i mean even on the small things if we take our own personal convictions into account and organize with other members of parliament were the same person convictions on some specific is sue the government falls so we have to fight hard not a congressman and senators and this is the glory of those hearings on television i do agree with the splendid to see these cousins and i couldn't tell which party they were in they were grilling being asked to hold hearings business was an enormously good of the united states made me feel
it actually ought to move some might want to know that on the question that you asked about the relative efficiency of the two systems i would say it depends what you're trying to do and where as in recent years not every week but the united states had been laboriously trying to fix our economy to a predetermined value ago and parity of our common sense then of course that is an advantage to a system which can you leave those that manage the entire economy and decisively suddenly and without the possibility of all from an argument and this was watching the united states has been in great difficulty in recent years because they have come under our system i think most unfortunate of trying to fit the american economy to pre determined monetary equations and before doing that the congressional system is exceedingly is that their final correction boardroom
combat which we started about the position of america then america's future could you answer this how worried are you about america's future when american commentators together though the racial conflict and threatens to turn the american dream into a nightmare and we have they terrible problem of vietnam which they're trying to cope with not how worried are you about the future of america's leading power in the free world ong who'd protection we depend will get that but i think they make low come through this crisis that thing about the americans and the great thing about the thrillers of something doesn't work without something else a problem i believe the united states is to prevent their relations with the developing countries countries are colored people and reaching the state of media relations of the white americans within the united states and the way to do that i'm sure is
to apply their enormous technology that part that know how their friendliness to protecting and helping the developing world and not in my view looking after their military defends internal external and i believe my final sentences that the americans are so resourceful and so free but they'll find a way when we don't know if it made you think very much of one man tepid your view generally on this subject as critical but hope and this is robin day of the bbc in london good night and all the point of your female chief correspondent edward p morgan because advice is usually free it is perhaps too seldom take we americans are rapidly working ourselves into a frenzy of self doubt didactic suspicion and better services before we go right off iraq are we on a pause for what might be called nation identification was at this i wonder precisely what our articulate british cousins with characteristic understatement were
asking us to do on that bbc panel discussion we have just her there is too much truth i'm afraid in the remark that the united states has become a prized by the menace of commerce this does not mean that communism is not a minus but what could be more menacing than a failure to recognize the successes that we have helped achieve against there is much evidence to support the argument that the open society has won or is winning and a theological victory in europe as christopher made you put it the west wind is prevailing over the east with falvo aboard a but though the student protests in warsaw were tenuous on the liberalization of the czech government maybe they are the latest straws to indicate which way the wind is blowing for the more it was the massive american postwar aid to europe which helped materially to create this j one towering fear is that these advantages may be wiped out if the johnson administration resists and its apparent argument that the world struggle between totalitarianism and freedom
will be decided in vietnam some critics charge president johnson is trying to make vietnam a holy well this may be unfair but the president did little to but that accusation last monday in a flaming speech to a conventional farmers in minneapolis he said it was time for americans to stand up and be counted and he strongly implied that those opposing his war policy including a military victory on the battlefield if necessary were guilty of politics it is reliably reported that on at reading that speech at least one important official in the executive branch prepared a letter of resignation so strong was his conviction in the wake of the vietcong tet offensive that further escalation of the war could not possibly lead to any meaningful victory earlier a number of civil servants on a much lower level had started circulating a petition against the war this promptly inspired the house un american activities committee to prepare an investigation of these dissident federal employees presumably to question their lot such a spastic reactions only tend to give
more substance to the image of an america bewitched by the red memphis but behind the scenes some indications have unfolded as fragile as the first caucuses of spring that the white house is not only hearing but maybe preparing to keep at least some of the councils of a minority of key administration officials on the stark realities involved in widening the war one of these is the estimate that it could cost an extra fifteen billion dollars a year to give gen westmoreland the two hundred six thousand more troops he asked for such a figure should underline a fact that the administration has been trying to soft pedal if not ignore namely the cost of the war as a basic under about the basic underlying cause of the dangers in a balance of payments and the rush the gold weakening that the washington post financial writer hobart role unquote one of presidents president johnson's ex businessman supporters today as saying he may have to choose between winning the battle of the dollar
or the one with who she met in any event general westmoreland has not won the battle his way whether his impending return from the fields to become army chief of staff for shadows a different definition of the american mission in vietnam and nobody can say with this record it was last friday but the contrast between the if you see crazy and always heaped on the general in the past and his latest book on a description of him as a very talented and very able officer this would be merely a misleading know what's the early morning the ones in washington often fails to boston and the hardier fact still as lord radwan set on tonight's bbc panel in predicting we would survive this crisis if something fails the americans try something else that the shape of this observers point of view senate hearings on abolishing capital punishment
all right sentences will be a director would involve actual for the younger archaeologists race against time going on the real part two yes it is thank you
this week the us senate under senator from a parched chairmanship opened hearings to examine whether america as a whole should put an end to capital punishment but federal crimes the intent of these hearings is a hope that washington might help individual states focus on their own local laws thirteen states and the west have helped launch capital punishment and hundreds of prisoners' that today and death rows across the nation and the determination of whether state laws will be passed through old law death penalty is now reveals how lebron reports on the federal government's examination of capital punishment in washington this week the senate for the first time to hold hearings on abolishing the death penalty for federal crimes kidnapping treason espionage assassination senator for the part of michigan city hall
federal concerned might spur state action today fourteen states have abolished capital punishment although there have been just a few executions in recent years the firing squad still exists in utah air a jail came a day it says
there are only the anonymity of a device such as amber activated by name was invisible executioner would sound really nothing to see or hear that allows us to feel move when we participated in the killing of another human being in the belief that all citizens of both the right and the responsibility with the executions and they carry out a line again speaking as one who was the legal minor i would point out the subcommittee that for teenagers probably content of that i'm really ought not to be executed but i'm not only not to be permitted to be witnesses and execution in my mind there are two principle arguments in favor of a law there is no good evidence that the death penalty deters crime so because of human
fallibility that not only permits the possibility that some innocent people can be executed a long ago and pennsylvania all negroes between the ages fifteen and nineteen one hundred percent sentenced to the electric chair or executed on a twenty two percent of the point since a major centers that there were executed sen hart is not optimistic about getting his bill through congress but he says the constitutional challenges to the death penalty now pending also offer hope of change the high court is being asked to decide whether the inevitable long wait and death row during review might not be viewed as a form of torture in violation of the eighth amendment which forbids cruel and inhuman punishment it's possible there are a good many precedents of the court would have to distinguish or reject
of what ifs and they're coming up and not just one case with a number of them as i understand you were on the way to the supreme court and it is in the court term that the capital punishment constitutes cruel and unusual punishment the argument of course is really colonies when we rode our constitution and england are another country or had capital punishment so on they constitution talks about cruel and unusual punishment that outlawed they surely didn't mean what they were than doing what they continue to do the response to that is that it's the process the procedure these other things that become a factor in all of which raises a question whether due process and an orange the due process challenge before the court the tax the exclusion for murder trial jury is of those who do not believe in capital punishment the challengers say juries must represent all shades of opinion ohio's ex governor michael the sour leader of the national
reform group talk about the supreme court cases there's a real possibility of march in place without the process and that way we hope that the supreme court eventually we hope that there will be a decision based on the eighth amendment and several other questions have been raised with really really feel deprived the defendant how low can you joke about cruel inhuman anything in one school in humans what was the argument one can learn some other crimes are punishable by death by a process of evolution that is of a longer crimes of capital crimes and the united states as was the situation that one time for example in salem they promised the people that doubt because they do the right thing which they are
right now along with we were the law for example of governor will file least a mention of the counters that are lifers that all of them they're all the kind of place that were farther than the movie or babysitters they were the drivers house people into the garden where you got to know the people forget it and i said to john i said look you know i've heard some of the good things and re animate this man as a man who had been gone to the protesters fourteen years old to live with over four thousand criminals come alive
i didn't next thursday california supreme court will hear arguments on behalf of all those in san quentin has death row and what may be a precedent setting case and next fall a definitive ruling may come down from the united states supreme court i'm wondering if that quentin prison near san francisco in fact there are four thousand men of the four thousand and seventy three are condemned men on death row the largest number ever to be on death row at one time and the number is growing weekly because there are no execution date set for any of that is roach really
fortunate and the number's going weekly because there are no execution date set for any of the seventy three in fact there's only been one execution in the death chamber and that when in the past five years and has the possibility there may never be another since last november there's been a mainstay of executions in the state and next thursday the supreme court will hear arguments on the constitutionality of the death penalty here meanwhile both seventy three men are waiting about one execution last april i mean howard brody with their effective impressions are the execution and this past week tv al visited a man on death row here now kerry's where is at a lot of the man three out of the seventy three about their life
you see a lot of people who say when i have to go and when to do this community there it's been white the last time i was twenty two november so my character out exactly what it was but whenever it was my sticking down and saved me and i'm like man they change shifts and sergeant came he said look you i just got a court justice butler sketches have collapsed and whole roasted your area and cheering i've told me when i have my date unless there's kind of been a day does your saying goes another guy says the big iranian official from that till i was i was angry but i realized he was right and after one more about me that i might be subjected to the extreme punishment and personally myself ragged capital
punishment and spend the rest of my life in prison for a crime i didn't commit he's placed in the press or in school with jungle i've seen guys gushing blood sixteen guy had been killed since i've been here are all my own cigarettes because they give it back or free analysts spent three dollars and fifty cents for a carton of cigarettes what i can spend three dollars and fifty cents for a logbook and save my life emotionally i can throw away then use to be penny pincher when i got into this position ahead get paid for having the money from him for everything i'd be dead or they were welcomed to them or c well keep your intro i'm afraid i know and i have no fear because it's it's just like it's like playing to paraphrase it actually you're playing again it's a very serious gamble so stanley
the stakes are your life you're willing to lose but no matter how you go you got to play by the rules those law books with a saint is not really you know people kid about the position that they're in to try to save her say we'll saying we say look from just because you're accused of a he knew screened doesn't make you any less a nice guy what is really murder no one really knows the law says is one thing but is it really that you get any manner if you're given a certain set of circumstances each design the future of personality every word you would pull a trigger another human being i'm what they call an old time this is my first time on the role of the law a time seventy years ago i've seen many fellows around their own kemal know you're an income of policy and when they built the chamber
policy when they're wearing people because of the terms of those awards kristin many people gained juilliard really knows whether the gas chamber and this is one of policies and cromwell says he would just to it pretty soon one should have one will i can take their priest only interested in body connaughton way with my background and befriended eighteen months and it they made my record for me is i made that it was i don't know why whoa there must have been five thousand only on rifle walked down somebody
got it a skinny man and i learned my way around a few inches toward military option and informant is would like that religion unquote maybe a little late and i'm coming to grips with the pentagon cuts and get something out of my courses shoreham know what a court reporter john bouma let's test average was to use a college near you you finished eighth grade i first came a girl the ruling in love attention at any item that i sent you know this is the first time i entered prison i was treated like a human being like
a man and i sent him a period too late to list think about my appeal the government to make criminal cases and i'm being named many many cases those women lived it with a little of that people they can take much away from me now i know i'm guilty and i didn't i can see print offended i just can't see no progress they said i didn't and i agree so lets get out with and pray for the day i dread the thought of sitting at thirty or forty years waiting for to come along with about a year and a half now just five months in the county jail and a one and nothing to do with the peels i fired my attorney well well you eat emi trial and he feels bad because he didn't get me something else than the death penalty he feels bad about it c he wrote
an offer to take my peele michael and to get off because i'm the one who pleaded guilty i have these i guess guilt feelings i have no right to live i just feel this way of saying i won't be scared down there but once have gone this far i can change my mind that the lord for me and taken the first step and they'll do the rest but it doesn't prove anything for them to take my life its rights because i feel it's right i don't think they gain anything i kill someone they kill me the most important person here is me because i have to live with me i did a horrible thing i feel i never did anything right in my life but i'll try to die right i've gained insight into myself here but no purpose i never read a book in my life before i was working since i was eight years old i came to involve the fastball right i was scared how much money i could make
ohio but psychiatrists but i was very ignorant they frightened me i was now i'm going to i was convicted of twelve felonies before the murder they had two years to catch me afterward i wish they would have i figure i was going to want to lend again and again until they catch me and i read about spike in chicago and two weeks later i was in jail it was a big relief is over now i wish they'd call me before and but they never do at the moment because when said it remains for the death sentence to be there
tomorrow is by we talk about life on death row as expressed a p b l like a condemned man at them when i'm wondering son quentin prison regulations do not permit the recording of the actual voices of inmates the deal was permitted however to have their thoughts taken down by as demographer for the reports you have just seen these were then repeated by professional actors the fate of the seventy three minutes and queen's death row may be determined when the california state supreme court begins hearings next thursday on the constitutionality of the death penalty the federal hearings are now adjourned with no indication that the united states will follow the lead of the seventy three other nations which have already abolish capital punishment

mcclellan defended his confederate right to call the black man aboard senator from arkansas then went on to bemoan the fact the only twenty two convictions that resulted from six hundred and sixty six arrests during the detroit riots as mcclellan pouted there wasn't any harsh cruel punishment minister said that he spent so much for the federal government oh i forgot about president johnson or is it the other way around that he violated any more about the report is an article he's already used to describe how he in his cabinet members feel about the recommendations and head on to say we think it was a good record made by goodman of goodwill that will have a good insurance we hope that every person in the country can read it to the president and try to take action as they can to implement everything paul you know the congressman from the meaning random harlem that's it has finally returned to new york a campaign for reelection he was his old self

residents and particularly young people of the ghetto into us cities community activities and culture in washington dc and world renown smithsonian institution recently embarked on just such a program to take the establishment museum off its pillars and into the ghetto gal anacostia use him in the ghetto head there's a modest experiment going on here in an abandoned me the theatre in a rundown washington neighborhood called anacostia
ever the experiment involved children in institutions and the assumption of beauty and creativity and joy to be made and natural part of any child's world because ugliness and destructiveness and hate are already out there waiting for him waiting to teach him and perform him and to aim his life in the same twisted directions what he sees every day on the streets of his own never gaily decorated with children's murals this museum which look so non institutional is only a few miles from a very proper an impressive institution which created it
smithsonian was created as a national center of knowledge between forty six that looks every inch apart situated in the heart of federal washington blank by green walls and wide avenues its nineteenth century tariffs seem far indeed from the shabby buildings with bars and chicken the lights doors of anacostia fortunately the man who runs this institution is acutely aware of the real distance in an interview with p b l chief correspondent edward p morgan the smithsonian secretary mr s dillon ripley explain his reasons for trying to bridge that distance that you're doing what your definition of the music i like to think of a museum rather as a as a social planetarium a place to which
people come when they're there they macy an experienced something about the past which they can relate to the present and perhaps if the museum is probably unorganized i can help the project into the future i think too often we neglect the future part of our emphasis on the exhibits and think just delineating the past well now why did you go to the trouble and somewhat modest expensive for sponsoring a museum here in anacostia which just listen two mile surely as the crow flies from this lovely hundred year old original smithsonian building itself we were thinking and i think we have found that we were right that there is a tendency especially in rather rundown rather poor neighborhoods
for people to live very locally another movie never really go and he and there is a tendency for these people to decline as they live and declining circumstances we set out to have their interest to climb interest flags they have less motivation katz and as a result would seem that it would be a very interesting experiment to try and put a museum and some abandoned store abandoned movie theater which was having difficulty let the table the sight of or c just have to be very resilient and they should decide what went into that they should decide well indeed they wish to have a tall as the people in anacostia did let them do this and then help them to create an exhibit area in this museum which they could participate and just touch and they must work with objects this is very very important and then if they do this they will
have a chance to get their interest to rust excited i hope that they would then come and see our museums here on the mall near as they are which apps they have never seen in their lives on them and the museum must be yours one of the greatest things that we can learn now in america in this communications age and one which can be translated to the museum is that man now having me learn how to destroy us to learn how to live with himself as gregory jones comes to the smithsonian every saturday morning to study science he started making the trip largely because of the smithsonian first came to him in anacostia now his own awakened interest sustains him and brings him back to class students who is more like a lecture in school is nearly
empty yeah and we're hearing this week twenty other children from anacostia now attending the saturday classes at the smithsonian's their ages started ten gregory is the oldest using washington's cumbersome public transportation system the trip between the smithsonian in their neighborhood cost these children fifty cents each week as this correctly pointed out or do tend to stay in their own neighborhoods and there are still many children who grow up in the nation's capital without ever even seen the white house to propose it was this kind of
isolation in which the neighborhood museum first encountered in anacostia and then gradually penetrated can hear what i say he threw it out only sixty seven families have been playing out at a wendy's when even sometimes she'll be a very big change it wants to support these children have made the museum their own their clay work is on exhibit there are murals are on the walls but they also tell you that this is not just another arts and crafts projects at
certainly these trains would never be a part of any conventional museum that if a museum was meant to open the eyes of the beholder and enrich in these rose eight locomotives and freight cars are doing the job some of these children have never ridden a real trade many will never get a sense for christmas yet no one steals these tours gregory the museum train master explains why like dating back like to my victory tonight a country through in training day in
which he can you take care law wonder the greeks tell us is the beginning of learning animals' usually find their way into most museums after they've been stopped for the anacostia the theory is that a child can learn more about the gentlest for instance from a living thing the hamsters and monkeys confront the generation of children raised in front of a television screen with that most pitiable stimulants reality it's an exciting confrontation and absorbing won things are free and open at this museum and even the cages sometimes seemed to have no lines to pay
unlike the playgrounds of the survey which seemed constructed with the assumption that the children are out to destroy them the museum has made its exhibits not really accessible but open and designed to stimulate play within them history for instance is a game and the artifacts do seem to survive man who isn't is no problem it's actually been found that a child's imagination and more often creative and destructive the word museum means far to many people in anacostia has that too but like everything else here these works of metal sculpture connecticut not with the past the
past with a world in which these young people live they are not fashionable abstract by someone from the art world of paris or new york and they can make it susan's father washington sculptor ralph tate took his inspiration from a figure very real and important to him and to the people of anacostia john kennedy i feel that this show in anacostia chris gives a certain kind of
importance to a museum which was started by and for the people of anacostia president kennedy had certainly devoted much of his energies the only it is it's represented by the middle classes those people who rarely get the opportunity to be exposed to the kinds of things that have been and will be going to hear this new residency is an institution and young people especially in today's society getting turned off by institutions why that is john kennedy so popular with the young part of the answer may be that he's succeeded in making the president a real flesh and blood person gregory who saw
kennedy only ones this is a new day it gives young people the exhibits will change the neighborhood museum will be there every day for anyone who wants it and some like gregory will spend many long hours where an outsider the real world will still be waiting for
him a institutions can turn young people are on a no institution in sick back and wait for young people it is to come downtown and find that the smithsonian or the most just and dignified institution can move out to meet people in their own neighborhood on their own terms it's done without setting up agencies are committees without benefit of huge federal grants for long range by this if other private institutions don't get up off their marvel foundations and go out and find these youngsters it is all of american society which will be the loser or whether it is called a ling quincy are alienation are being turned off all that stands between the young and the forces of
destruction and hatred and ugliness of their own news neighborhoods like anacostia awaiting all across the country and hundreds and hundreds of them are littered with the daily evidence that no one cares the debris of a society that seems more intent on using and destroying the non building and those hours in the day maybe all the palestinian people head
maybe eighty eight the problem is how to turn the tensions of society and a positive energy out of club people into something constructive and indeed turn them off he'd be out viewers' persistently right ok you've shown us the problem now what are we individual citizens supposed to do about it excepting personally the indictment of the kerner commission report one man from annandale virginia wrote in after suggestion for the white de facto suburban races do i become a big brother vs pay more taxes increase support the charity walk those streets support please write letters or what the smithsonian's dillon
ripley thinks the anacostia vest pocket museum which has no guards is a partial answer he hopes museum directors and other cities will try similar experiments with active citizen report of support one of america's main troubles really told me is that not enough people are interested in anything at all the key he said is interest creation act passed it as a kind of human electrolysis plugging into a circuit of interest between the deprived and the un the prize it is making the horizons of these neighborhood kids and their parents a little wider a little brighter others have been quietly galvanize into action by the process several honorably staff are now anacostia volunteers in addition to their smithsonian jobs there are other ways a woman in new york city right she has strengthened her understanding as a volunteer stage and for a nonprofit venture called the knickerbocker creative fear a conscientious apple i know in washington are foster parents of the boy in the republic of colombia
countless americans have adopted orphans in korea greece and elsewhere in the world but after watching gordon parks picture essay of a harlem family and be the only other sunday the friends of mine said to each other where is the american foster parents for americans society a day long pigtails and sentences goldfish bowl with some special touches on it and they'd done the archaeologist race against time and urban progress to save our important that's been ill for three continues in one yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah he'd
this week regional theater in the united states got a major boost when playwright have a giant skier chose to procure his new play in dallas texas rather than on new york's broadway regional theaters like arena stage in washington dc were tyrone guthrie theater in minneapolis and the alley theater in houston are becoming more important in bringing good performances two americans west of time square with good regional theater apparently expanding the need for good actors is also growing this is bill vol director of san francisco's american conservatory theater which is one of those good repertory companies paul was known as a perfectionist and when he isn't directly reactors in his repertory company is teaching others the techniques you know so well because there's a one man presentation called
acting up and the deal asked mr walter show assad his exercises in acting techniques which turned amateur actors into professionals i have you know they go here's how some reason to be nice guys oh all of our lives so to shake hands in your proper person smiling right person say thank you when you're leaving and you give the new law you would think you would be regular team hoyt who somehow or other when you say level of the monster hit the house somehow or other actors not come to us we have a very kind of light and the native american acting in
television charlton heston has made a career of one of the most beautifully expressive passions talk about her expression on division and thinner out is a candidate for rage is you're actually now that i know our point is to increase more pressure to liberate the family one way is to look at precisely what happens if you turn the method which is important or a reactor method acting turned upside down suppose you don't really act and three of the feeling will fall the examples for the majority
of cases it like to any of these actions without without it you cumming has accomplished a lot and how about your favorite actor and all i'm doing is not a minor character dressing up if you were an englishman who would be knighted rupees or john wayne knob there's a connotation in the law that they executed as that there's a competition that law and if you don't get the right to carry now
they again the peak oh yeah there is i may get no amount of the world known as a really easy the prose and that air the other thing is it
covered by learning i think it tells us what the possibility that immediate you really are they do thank you ms ba you know more about him he tells you
in a pastoral disposition a sentence of stroke but the actor makes that the playwright did not make it has been how are you doing and why and most law i
ask oh like something that would give you truly ecstatically like and they were and were not about to say oh oh and they could not maintain their bodies could not maintain the position of melancholy when the emotion being awakened and that was one of the light so it must have something to do with the nervous system and it must reveal something and that's what i say the body of the light cannot contain the passion for it and not do it
why i don't want any of you to deny the fact that in on a very windy day no matter what you're thinking about how things are going the wind is blowing hard the tuesday with your eyes and then they wrote on your cheeks you gather about you your polk and i want you to tell me that you do not think somewhat ironic or at jfk say it is cause you to find something that you are a lot of ironic about it and then move onto a commentator language of gesture very often it's impossible for a playwright to put into the play gestures for every year on the ovaries the government and her petition but what modest and complete
varying degrees but show on another thing about herman is a line about the judge elected this let's say this i hope diamond not appear in an indelicate during attended medical a teacup and again that's something that i don't think i will yeah the obama connotation there's in relation between hands so many between her and so many connotations and many in the vocabulary of music to say some
yeah we like to you now but not some shows that i've seen some shows you may seal bc it and mine oh
boy really it's worth nothing at all that i will say one two three for them breed in like this show money it's b that sound is there anyone who did not be making notes on this was not purely technical who did not have one change one fragment of the invasion
and your consciousness that you were repressing from tenement i wonder when you own one who is really poor something in their care some moments of requests rage he had to be there and they want to know didn't happen that scene that i kept them well no official confirmation of let me think a minute when you kiss me it
is oh oh we have a relapse oh actually i have nothing that i got too much of it not only get the x at the time being just begin with mechanical and be sure that you go for the top know don't worry about minnesota's recount and then
that almost gone then one day the dow you want to be yeah really one
it's b this week and they're going to start with a plan what we got a camel slow smooth over at intercom a lot there are going to be for and i'm going to hughie long as
bell you know do you feel good should given this come from simple mechanical north and i had a one other thing completely candid in a way i saw powers who goes back to high you have already you really lose leave you're not
that being in the inner ear nose in amongst them once again once again let your sockeye thought the number of of all we leave them here naus mr haney you need money well if you want to live still to come on the deal to buy the younger archaeologists virgin quest to save america's

small volunteer indianapolis band together to try to stop the us army corps of engineers from flooding their area with a reservoir reason the valley is unique remnants of america's prehistoric past it's described as a living relic of the post glacial age began a reservoir is needed however for flood control fresh water supplies and recreation and probably really feel this points up a growing dilemma for american historians and archaeologists can we preserve our heritage in the face of bourbon and industrial expansion a race against time and the bulldozer is currently personalized in the story we are about to present a reporter as albin for a public television station w t t w in chicago this is the story of the urgent questions stewart's trigger one of many american archaeologists dedicated to the discovery and restoration of a historic and prehistoric american drivers questions later joined by the expansion of bourbon technological america if our society continues to grow
its present case stronger and his fellow archeologists may not have a chance to recover very much adult reader teaches archaeology at northwestern university in evanston illinois and is the past president of the only archaeological survey in the summer of nineteen sixty seven he was appointed chairman of the surveys the site study committee set up to study the entire problem of the destruction of archaeological sites and to find a solution is working involve the field and as an active on campus teacher through their works to communicate his own realization that north american archaeology is important it's been forty years
part of that fourteen thousand years of illinois history lies buried just across the mississippi river in recent statements in the sight of the age interview with rival agree with you you too population kisses monk's mound probably concluded and twelve hundred at the center then of what archaeologist call downtown tokyo the public precincts of the ancient city home of the mississippi and people at the height of its development cokie it was the largest prehistoric city in what is now the united states wants containing perhaps fifty thousand structures an area of five square miles stuart shear is a native of illinois and for him the history of north american resides not in the old world but in the new and has found with most impact and purpose
in the lower illinois valley in southern illinois for years the preservation of the area of prehistoric opium has been the special province and concern of nelson re vice president of the read rubber company in st louis and research associate of the department of anthropology of washington university in st louis the reconstruction of palisade which stretches for a number of miles along the side of the care they're supposed to be in a position where there was a ceremonial post of some sort or around twelve hundred probably the satirical give from this point i think everything was no jude is i weigh seventy dollars when it came through here about six or seven years ago that took out of course the sites in mounds of whether the same time through the federal highway solid program it paid for
almost all of the sudden in archaeology monaco came over five hundred structures were excavated during that period so that the right way which destroys also the highway which gives money to get information that we haven't seen for miles on the land over there just beyond that old couple hundred yards beyond that is a non forty four and the interstate to fifty five is going to come through that were there and that they are present plans to go right through mount forty four which will be a catastrophe if they do because we just don't have the personnel excavated we don't then we think that we've got to move a hundred feet to the west and which will save the money in which case they have what they need and we have what we want to read and streeter the mounds of cokie a whole story of the existence and disappearance of an entire race of prehistoric people and all we can know them and what can be dug out of
the ground an excellent example of the potential richness of archaeological sites turned up on the dixon farm in west central illinois in nineteen twenty seven the nixon family excavate in this large mississippi an indian burial and eventually reveal over two hundred actually preserve skeletons of prehistoric north americans since than archaeologists have concluded several things about the mississippian indians buried there including their size diet lifespan and the diseases that kill them using information of this kind of anthropologists are able to further develop and research there are theories and how and why the mississippian indians simply disappear to make it possible for the scientists so future generations to extract similar information from the caucus sites in february of nineteen sixty five nelson reid and others interested in the preservation of coke you want to springfield to meet with illinois governor otto kerner as a result of that meeting funds were eventually made available through the state legislature to purchase some six
hundred acres of the remaining area of ancient downtown tokyo but as you'll hear even pointed out irreparable damage not really a large are the village area was underneath the concrete and that information is known for it and forget about it here this subdivision covers up at least two lives how states and some for moms down there rachel records destroyed also without any information coming up an employer's level two major temple monks right now this destruction that has occurred at the hands of many people some and knowing some innocent some malicious and some who were simply the agent's apartment
in some cases contemporary houses succeeded the indian homes of the thousand years ago built on the mound for the same reasons a nineteen twenty or nineteen fifty as a nine fifty ad mounds had been sold as landfill others have disappeared quietly through the erosion of a succession of natural human events destruction and shay deliberate or innocent economics are tripoli the heart of the situation you would rate climbed once a broker of farmland is a land developer in delano my obligation of cheering is the same as everyone else i don't want to destroy my obligation as a vulgar is no different than that of dr an attorney i try living for
my family i buy a parcel land i conceive an idea i'd build a building this is this is my business i don't know if you can pinpoint the one that should be the farmers who sell their land for development sure the older building who knowingly solicits building that knows it's going to be demolished or the developer who develops i think that we should have legislation that will a predetermined endpoint everyone on notice value rather than an economical value of property but generally we don't know the value of intrinsic barrier the historical value of a property that we're developing roughly fifty miles to the northwest of the industrial complex of st louis there is an almost untouched and major area of the hopewell people libyan people
the area is just to the north and west of copious city in calhoun county illinois a coyote ten miles wide and forty miles long to live between the illinois river on the east lt jawad today detailing county coming from st louis from the south there are six ways into the county fire areas and a lone bridge fire up the illinois though recently a feasibility study was completed recording and the possibility of directing a bridge across the mississippi at the southern end of the company such a bridge would put the area less than an hour from downtown st louis and virtually overnight transform it into a prime location for industrial and residential expansion although one's an outsider after nine summers in the area and a frequent shorter trips during university vacations stewart's reader no longer speaks as the stranger
i discover the loire valley entirely by accident in the spring of nineteen fifty eight driving through selection to the same goes for a club just outside camp still ice about a huge pork barrel without destroying it and that was all that i can in the next ten years of my life firstborn the contents of this man and then thomas venning alike ways of the people who made it and many others like it in this area some two thousand years ago the small was once a perfect don't worry that is until twenty years ago a commercial bigger cut of the center of amman the probe here and there until you don't want to at that point he dug a deep shadow he dug up the complete to effectively destroying the scientific value of the site this area just cried out for advance of archaeological study and it had to be
undertaken as soon as rapidly as possible that this program was to make a master metal wall well sites nearing graduation my contact with local residents a network of amateur archeologist involved covering the entire area of the world one telling each men in his own familiar territory look at sites of the service that each recovered a sample of artifacts please identify the culture that live there are these men the four year project we're very well in a small house in the center of illinois bottom line he's become the focus of our faculty in his area and he discovers sides so those friends and they bring him the information he records the sites any information is passed on a mutual my record is when the site is on maps
with their size in specific details or recorded well a lot of them hear about where the money in one word no need no it can work an honorary down there are for bees that are good enough and then they get like hear that that's a limb people are at that time after the way that they look like you know the usual not make a tree grower nick opponents often peel bark off the driver due date naked make the job you do not bother with it and a lot of work to have flown away and that nah i don't mean that not only in that way down that line over there in an ad that a given the idea that develop in time and beyond
your call why businesses can we do this simply says if i don't turn our backs are you or are you ever going to write the story and if you don't write the story how can i read it makes me think it is and we're founded know and mounted that i loved him on that number you know they're there in the past four years we have gradually come to know more about the sites in his area than anywhere else in laurel and our current suing was one of the first prisons i met in calhoun county their money in in my collections and calhoun large and small but curran says exceptional really rich human history of valley i better go back perhaps ten thousand maybe twelve thousand years ago the conscious
catalogue that label we know every artifact was flown and this makes a collection of great value to the archaeologist right now for example one of our spoons is think from its collection of long spears which we know to be distinctive awarded to lift people's pockets mike calhoun county for us to deal with that such a question would take years if it was possible at all this collection represents forty years of walking or current that's longer than i've been alive and our nominee and then yeah i don't well i don't there is probably the largest hopewell mile west of ohio around that were nine others through these are completely taken out to the highway and the other six of the bulldozer plows down this is a unique hopewell sites and that makes this destruction all the more painful in the final
forty three hargrove was completely covered with water and water and back in the delano a bang it out of the mound and talk about six months ago i received a letter from the quran and i would like this year's tour this summer the owner of a camel clear an area around the basic terms ledge as indicated on my map on the back of this letter that terrain i walk this area and filed this crematorium is located in the current deal and our small flat tears just behind turns lynch predicts southern exposure its large i believe very important to the moment i got a small square to be sure the crematorium and not just the early birds it was heavy in foreign born and charcoal
iphone skull fragments and the rest of the body bones it's seated in pasture now and is perfect today i believe you should not let the spot go sign friend colonel thanksgiving weekend i do calhoun county and prove it took me out to the site and lay almost completely exposed limestone slabs sullenberger it in a patterned covering an area about fifteen by fifteen feet that was where he would go a charred black scattered among the rocks clearly it was a crematorium the bulldozers it's great the trees and a few inches of snow covering away exposing entirely to the weather one more plowing in a couple more winners and the entire crematorium would be just one more last resort room that had to
be excavated know and you know you you know now we wondered would be like to be digging in the snow and a sub freezing temperatures we found out it's no the day we arrived in the temperature dropped down to most of the year five of our predatory was frozen solid beneath the snow frozen ground with the remains of prehistoric aerial fires to get up then we built our own fires sheets of corrugated metal out and hold the nearby timber the fires and the flowers we finally at a lot by about that night humanity
archaeology the group assumes like this is quite an experience they don't come on to make money they don't come because it's easy they come because the prospect of discovery the prospect of being aware of being time and we'll work together to assemble them as the war progressed and the top layer of brick limestone slab had been mapped in the removal of the stones' disclosed a very complex situation repeated relations and rebuilding of the crematorium cell had occurred back in hopewell days the situation requiring most careful archaeological work the mud became worse each day of the excavation salama crematoria was like mark annabelle is a mars and could be found which was solid the bushel baskets to be processed ledbetter at a later time we finally reached the point where we have to make an important decision to re create what was possible knowing that we'd lose
much important information or to slow toward to a crawl knowing that we would weaken the latter course stenzel of the country have been writing in to join my expeditions some are allowed to enter these applications before it will be at least two hundred i can only take about twelve that's all that are funding allow it so we're going to use this are not very different in those years thirty years ago but the fact is a lot of the barriers in our polling outlook for the demands of archaeology today they're ok them but there was lower than they were working against time today many all industries are planning expenses are there is rich in prehistoric remains and we invite those rapidly expanding companies to follow the example of one unlike normal industrial jones a local steel company jones and laughlin support the excavation of pro storage sites before they were destroyed by the construction of their new plant in a lot
since recorded his tune the series is always in sixteen seventeen that means ninety seven percent of the history here existed before written record and this ninety seven percent can rubio only through archaeology no weapons recently developed an archeology increase our chance of recovering as ninety seven percent of history that is the buried remains lawless elements remain in the ongoing for example but one point he must've known if you believe there is an important archaeological site in your area which ought to be preserved notify the national park service of the department of the interior it has the power to set these areas aside if they are thought to have national significance jennifer euston thank you
