Because i was terrified that i would lose my job and my reputation, because it would have been turned on a, she slept with a player. Because i know that thats what he told his teammates. Obviously didnt say, i raped her. Im sure, i cant imagine that they would have been thought that was okay. So he told some others. I was terrified to tell anyone that some wrong version would come out and i would have my reputation it has come out now. I cant prove, and so i would just be the subject of a lot of negative vitriol and ultimately he would not face any consequence. Kat, i know this was difficult. Its so important that you spoke out about this, that you tell your story and we really appreciate you joining us this morning to tell it again. Thank you. One more thing. Two things. One, i really have been just heartbroken by the volume of women who have reached out to me from friends to strangers to other reporters to say this has happened to them. Its an astonishing number and it breaks my hear
She found this by while researching her previous book on nobel physicist. So lets go at it. I was asking you why close a few cars. I actually got interested in him when i was doing this because i had a lot of family papers, i had huge numbers of letters and diaries. In those, during the late thirties when he was there, he was always showing up in some little piece of paper that i had, he was showing up is very nice person.

The very last one that i looked a
Hosting. Good night. And now on cspan2 book tb, more television for serious readers. Hi everybody i am Vivian Schiller and i the aspen institute. Really glad you could be with us today. The near times bestseller list can often be a mirror of the national psyche. As such, this year it seems to reflect the nation going through an awakening on matters of race. Books written by people of color and about matters of race and racism have filled those lists. Both fiction and nonfiction. That is the good news. Sadly the Publishing Industry does not always reflect that reality. The recent twitter protest publishing paid me expose a major pay disparity in the industry between black and nonblack authors. Theres a few people of color who served as publishing staff or literary agents. And even fewer who operate at decisionmaking levels.

By joining us you are supporting us at a time where we are deeply impacted by the loss of income with times. We are very grateful to you. John dickerson has been a longtime friend we hosted the first live taping. During 2009 on the weekend of president obamas first inauguration. Since then john has returned to our states many time tonight we are so excited to celebrate him and his fantastic new book which came out today. The office of the president looks a lot different now than it did back in 2009. Not only a party a power change. But the tone of position shifted. It has become an almost impossible job between trying to fulfill Campaign Promises and solving every surprising and urgent crisis that arises.
