his mother was francis anne boyle, an irish girl from the bronx, whose family was unwilling or unable to escape from the tranquility of two family yards in the outer boroughs. instead like many families they remained in the south bronx and inwood touting apartment living. most of the offspring of this family, detesting this condition, diligently sought a place in the middle class. some struggled and failed. most attained stability through service to the city. others surpassed their assigned status and rose to positions of influence in many areas of the society, reaching as far as the u.s. senate. still others perished along the way, succumbing to the ills of all ghettos in spite of their dubious romance provide in abundance. kenny's father was tommy romero, a puerto rican boy born in east harlem, a different kind of ghetto that produced some successes. before he was 10, the romero family took flight to the williams burg section of brooklyn because of the numbered streets such as south 6th and south 7th which carried their direction. in time, the south street became puerto rican, displ

mary francis berry, who was the former chairwoman of the civil rights commission under president clinton said, "tainting the tea party movement with the charge of racism is proving to be an effective strategy for democrats. no evidence that they are anymore racist than any other republicans or other americans. but having one opponents rebut charges of racism is far better than discussing joblessness." we have 9.5% unemployment, 50% teenage black unemployment. there are a lot of issues to discuss in this table. i don't think these are the most pressing political issues. >> schieffer: i just want to ask dr. thernstrom one question. you made an extraordinary statement to politico when you said "conservatives on the u.s. civil rights commission thought they could use this case to bring down the attorney general and really damage the president." has the civil rights commission become that partisan? i mean, do you mean that literally? >> well, i do mean it literally. but this is a "he said, she said" situation. it's not recorded anywhere. but, look, race and politics-- and i think mr. gerson s

francis deng made reference to that, uh, and the others as well. in afghanistan, i think, we're seeing this problem be confronted head on. the military operations are not done, but development, getting economic development going in that country is really a big, big, big challenge. what's the answer to that? is government the best answer to that? are non-government organizations the best answer to that? ambassador? >> well, i think it, it's a little bit of everything. you're right. afghanistan is a very poor country. usually in these civil war situations, they start with a poor country and destroy what they have and, and so they dig themselves economically an even deeper hole to climb out of. certainly, there's a role for government in providing development assistance, humanitarian assistance, which is essential to make sure that the population has enough to eat, has medical care and the basic necessities. and then you worry about the other kinds of things, the more complicated economic development issues like infrastructure and utilities and that s
