The last million. Europes displaced persons from world war to the cold war. Im joel rosenthal, Prime Minister of Carnegie Council for ethics and international affairs. For those of us in the carnegie family of institutions, we have a special affection for david. His biography of Andrew Carnegie published in 2006 was a lifechanging event for us. Through davids work, weve come to know Andrew Carnegie in all of his humanity and complexity, and theres one lesson from the book that really stayed with me and has animated my work at the Carnegie Council, and that is the as david would put it cashtys carnegies cockeyed optimism was not entirely misplaced. For all the madness we see in the world, progress based on reason and a cando spirit is, indeed, possible. That idea keeps me going, and this occasion gives me the opportunity to say thank you, david. In addition to the carnegie biography, davids previous books include prizewinning biographies of joseph p. Kennedy and William Randolph hearst.

To washington. How was it you got on the Judiciary Committee . Mr. Lott well, i was looking at the demographics, i got access to some of the polling numbers and when i ran, i think maybe in the district i was running in, the fifth Congressional District of mississippi, 8 of the people identify themselves as republican, but if you studied the internals, the majority of them were republican and i also knew honestly they would vote for Richard Nixon by overwhelming numbers, well over 80 , which is what happened. I was comfortable with them on an individual basis, philosophically, and i thought a republican could win in mississippi. A lot of people didnt think so and i remember when i called some of my friends and supporters, they said you would not be able to win, but events worked out. I was 31 years old. Just turned 32, but as time went on, i could sense a change in attitude and the people. You are young, a republican, what is this . By the end, they were saying, look. I like what you a
Rep. Holtzman just barely. Actually, the irony is that there was a breakin in had i own Campaign Headquarters roughly around that time and a very ugly incident and people actually got beat up and had to get taken to the hospital. So i was worried about my own campaign and worried about my own Campaign Workers and worried about the breakin at my Campaign Headquarters. So watergate was just a kind of far in the distance, thunder far in the distance. Timothy you get elected. Rep. Holtzman i won the primary. That was in brooklyn, the equivalent of getting elected. Although my opponent challenged my election in the courts. But when that was over i won in the courts of course it was a november election but it was not. It was pro forma.
