capital. when they do it, we notice. i will encourage folks at home if they don t know your whole story, and you dave penned this book together, the john carlos story it s indicative of exactly what it takes to have the bravery to take that moment. thank you so much for being here. thank you, donna. thank you, john. thank you to dave and jameel. it s lovely to have this conversation with you. up next, former south african president nelson mandela s birthday this week. a reminder of how his struggle changed our politics is next. [ acoustic guitar: upbeat ] [ dog ] we found it together. on a walk, walk, walk. love to walk. yeah, we found that wonderful thing. and you smiled. and threw it. and i decided i would never, ever leave it anywhere. because that wonderful, bouncy, roll-around thing.
broke. first it is incredibly quiet. i ironically start mid career at that station almost 25 years ago. dale russell, the report who are broke the story, he s the kind of guy i would rather have the cia walking up my driveway than to see dale russell come ooen and see me. when he comes he has his facts and that s the truth of the matter. out is quiet here in atlanta. you know, at some point, and we have been saying this for a long time, herman cain was never going to be the republican nominee. he was never going to be the president of the united states and the question was, when was he going to take the midnight train home to georgia and i have to imagine he is probably checking ticket prices tonight. johnathon cape hart, knowing this was coming because as we saw in the atlanta tv report the reporter actually called and got on the phone with herman cain. so when herman cain hung up that phone, there must have been a very dramatic conversation with the smoking guy at the campaign he
people did and they are the heros of this story. the people who helped to teach america and helped to teach our military don t to fear gay people. one such hero was a young harvard college and law school graduate. he ran and won a seat in the state college legislature in 1972 and ran and won a seat in congress in 1980. all as a closeted gay man. in 1987, after six years in congress, he came out publicly announcing that he is gay. today the gentleman from massachusetts barney frank announced that he will not run for re-election to congress. his voice will be missed on the floor of the house and in congressional hearing rooms where no one made the case for gay members of the military more effectively than the honorable barney frank.

did but has a mental telepathy and rerace aed them from his mind. there was something about you. that s what i wonder. i wonder why. i don t know. joining me now is the sports editor for the nation and author of the new book the john carlos story, the sports moment that changed the world. thank you for joining me tonight, dave. thanks, lawrence. espn s role here. they say they didn t do anything with this tape when they got it in 2003 because they didn t have any kind of core rog rob ration. they didn t have other victims and they couldn t on the firm that is laurie fine s voice. as i head their account of how they handled this, they never confronted or attempted to confront in 2003 the fines, either laurie fine or her husband about what was on this tape. that s very true. espn is the big kahuna of sports
