a generous grant from the frank foundation. we do these to give you chance to see and hear speakers and authors who you might not be exposed to on the campuses you re from, or even those of you over on the hill, the congressional committee you work for. and a big thing that accuracy in academia and accuracy in media in covering both the media and academia, have in common, is that we continuously find this is what keeps us going from day-to-day that just about everything we have heard in school was in the newspapers and on news broadcasts is wrong. so, you can do this little study on your open. just taking one story and then doing the research on it, and seeing how well it holds up. or one campus lecture. we do it day in and day out. and a lot of our talks focus on current events, history, and so this might seem an odd one, but it fits because just about everything you hear about the dangers of football turn out to be wrong. i was astounded to learn that cheerleaders ....
reporter: there were a number of hours leading up to this swirling around that rumor that they could be released. he was very careful the words he used. he said this was extradition, not deportation, that he will carry out the rest of his sentence in straldaustralia and it is up to australian officials to see that. it is highly unlikely that he will serve any time in australia as the australian government has condemned his detention in the first place. ian, thank you so much. we ll continue to monitor this story and check back with you for any updates. today, february 1st, is exactly one year from the iowa caucuses. the first contest, of course in the presidential nominating season. in 2008 mike huckabee was the triumphant winner. i was never sure i would be able to love a state as much as i love my home state of arkansas. but tonight i love iowa a whole lot. that night, i remember it well, but huckabee s white house bid fell short. but the preaching guitar pl ....

On the golf course to foster closer relationships with world leaders. he was also an avid card playing, fitting for the man whose strategic thinking as the general helps the right side win world war ii. ronald reagan played college football for the eureka red devils but his claim to fame was as george gip, the gipper. some day when the team is up against us, breaks are beating the boys, ask them to go in there with all they ve gone, win just one for the gipper. perhaps it is not surprising that the man who understood sports ability to move people emotionally is the one who formalized the tradition of inviting championship teams to celebrate at the white house. even letting the 1987 super bowl champion giants dump popcorn on his head. a first. and kennedy used images of touch ....
