all right, james torres here. the city. steve, good morning to you. we want to talk about a fatal crash that happened there a little earlier this morning. still very much on the scene. we do know the coroner's office is on scene as well. hoping to remove the body. and then once that happens, then the crews can work on cleaning up whatever mess is left behind and reopen some of these lanes. this is at 101 northbound, right at the 280 connector. so if you're coming out of the peninsula going into the city of san francisco, that is where you would see this accident. you see the purple letting you know all lanes are closed in the northbound direction of 101. usually when this happens, and usually once they get that body removed, they'll slowly start to reopen lane by lane once they start cleaning it up. luckily, there isn't so much traffic going on right now, but there is a tiny bit of a backup you would hope they have that cleaned up within the next hour. before we get to that peak travel commute time. of course, fri

it's james bond. and i guess i gave it away a little bit with ian fleming mentioning that he created james bond. but, you know, when we watched those james bond movies in particular that is what is known as covert that actually developed in terms of american espionage fundamentally what is spy. that's what i'm asking here. and what spying about is about is the collection of information fundamentally. that's how it comes about. it's it's very secretive. it's invisible in a sense it should be if it's done well, it is invisible. but the covert stuff the james bond type of stuff later on developed. so i want you to keep that in mind because ernest cuneo was he he his life the life and times ernest cuneo he is the american and spy of world two and his what he did involves both the collection of information that type of spying. he's in covert operations as well. and i'll talk about that and a lot of these things described in my book but he's also becomes the liaison for the first agent c it was known the of

norman podhoretz was a friend of james baldwin.e has a letter that becomes published as a longest essay. they are friends. baldwin approves of that essay because of the honesty of the essay. the essay really reveals liberal's racial fears and nightmares -- white liberals, in this case a jewish-american liberal, their fears about racial integration and their fears about losing power, about losing privilege, about losing status. and also their fear of a kind of interracial intimacy. he says in that essay that if his daughter brought home a negro -- and he is only 33 at the time, but in the future he would really be upset and it would be a catastrophe but he would try to overcome it. so what is so interesting about that essay, peter, it really shows the way in which there is going to be a liberal reaction that embraces the civil rights movement but there is going to be a liberal reaction that is repulsed by aspects of the civil rights movement and it is not just norman podhoretz. it is going to be daniel patrick moynihan, who is assis
