Battle twith microsoft and the battle with prime. Things were in a different place with layoffs and a big restructuring taking place with the distribution model at the company.

Senator, i know it is hutto. The key to bipartisanship . You have been in the statehouse. Well, i dont disagree with who about getting people have some ideas in a room and have them sit down and stay there until they work it out. It is how you resolve these issues. ,ou know, taking hard positions posturing for the media, going out and having press conferences, that is not how you resolve it. You have to bring people together who want to work who are willing to give up something and willing to give something. That is the whole nature of compromise. The process he described, that is what we have to do, and the problem is he has been there 20 years, and some of these problems still exist, and while he is talking like he wants to do with comment and he has done it on some occasions and on some not, it they cannot come to an agreement, they have to do it.

On cspan. Bend is a timber town. You wouldnt know it to look at it today. The timber qualities are almost completely removed, but, yes, bend was a timber town to begin with. At the height of the timber industry, so if you were to drop into bend in, say, 1928, you would have smell the mills, you would have smelled sawdust. If you went through certain parts of town, youd get sawdust on your clothes. You would here periodic mill whistles from the two gigantic super mills that were on the banks of the river. It would have permeated everything. It would have been ten minutes off from the Downtown Core where all the shops were, but you would have seen the smoke from the smokestacks and the burners, you would have smelled it, you would have known right away that you were in the middle of timber town usa. This weekend booktv and American History tv look at the history and literary life of bend, oregon. Saturday at noon eastern on cspan2 and sunday at 2 on cspan3. Epa Administrator Gina Mccarth
