i want to grad school in oxford university, and there you don't study for your masters, you read for it, and read i did. my focus was modern literature, 1880 to 1960 because in those days oxford didn't offer a course in literature beyond 1960 because presumably there would not have been time enough to manifest an appropriate bouquet. i was on a plane recently, and the flight attendant asked us before takeoff to turn off our books. and i know what she meant, of course. but on a lofty level, it occurred to me, you never turn off books. if they are meaningful and res meant, they leave a piece of themselves inside you. they live with you. sorry to milk the motherhood reference but i think of something called microkinerism, which is when a mother carries a child, the baby leaves its dna in the mother forever, and so it is with a book you absorb. now, most people could construct a kind of sound track of their life. a list of songs that capture a time and place. but those who loved literature, who have lived through books and with books, can construct a literary play list of our lives. the

i arrived at oxford, and i was told of tutorial work. in my first year of residence at the college, emboldened by stories, i decided to write to a senator who was a member of the senate foreign relations committee but not yet its chairman. he was in the midst of an in battled relationship with senator joseph mccarthy of wisconsin region -- he was in the midst of an in battle -- embattled relationship with senator joseph mccarthy of wisconsin. i senator fulbright and i shared common experiences. senator fulbright and i won scholarships and chose to study at pembroke college. both of us focused much attention on it government and economics at oxford. both of us were blessed with the same tudor. -- tutor. both of us were elected from states in the interior of the u.s. that were not associated with international interests. both of us sought a weat on the foreign relations committee and ascended to the chairmanship. senator fulbright holds the record as the longest serving chairman of the foreign relations committee, a tenure in stretching fr

to be successful in completing his studies at columbia and go on to harvard law school and then to oxford and then to go further and further. he's lived his entire adult life and achieved a career most of us can only dream of while also plunged in darkness. his exceptional courage and perseverance don't end there. today he wants to serve others and catalyze a transformative shift by ending blindness. is this outrageous? is this audacious? maybe. but that's what experts said when president kennedy stood before this congress -- when president kennedy, in the same year, 1961, that sandy lost his sight stood before this congress and challenged our nation to put a man on the moon by the end of that decade. the best and brightest minds, top scientists and researchers of president kennedy's generation rose to that challenge and achieved his impossible dream. now for this generation, sandy and his wife sue have once again raised our sights and challenged the best scientific and medical researchers in the world to rise to an enormous challenge, a challenge that's been with us from the beginning of

for more, we're joined by tim stanley from oxford, university. good to see you again. how are you tracking the discussions? do you think any progress has been made or not? >> i think the fiscal cliff should be called the fiscal cave in. the discussions have moved quite far in order to meet the president. they started off with boehner putting a generous offer. the tea party was outraged and saying he was being too soft. this weekend, he's not only talking about tax increases on those earning more than $1 million, but also slowing the inflation rate. so the figure that his sources are putting aside is about 1 trillion in increase. so that's quite a significant move. and the president has indicated he's willing to lower his amount to 1.4. so i feel like there is movement on both sides now. >> if this were november, i would be encouraged about thi these signs. unfortunately, we have a couple of working days left before the end of the year. how do we get there? >> the president is going to have to give in on some aspects. there is still a long way to go. nonetheless, i thin

said in a speech to the oxford union last week, that as the battle against al qaeda continues, there will be come a tipping point as so many of the leaders and operatives of al qaeda have killed or captures such as al qaeda as we know it has been effectively destroyed. our efforts should no lo loaninger -- this is the longest period that the united states has lived in such a situation. longer than the civil war, world war i, world war ii, it grants the government extraordinary authorities and effectively suspends civil liberties for anyone the government deems the minute and also keeps us at a permanent war feeting in all kinds of ways, endsing this situation should be something that -- james madison the author of the constitution was clear on this topic. of all the enemies to public liberty, he wrote, war is perhaps the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. war is the parent of armies from these proceed deaths and taxes. no nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare. if you want to know buy we're in such a deep budget
