i read invisible man when i was in college, actually the same age as -- i was the same age as adam bradley would be when he read "invisible man" and when i showed him the boxes from the second novel, the boxes of analyst's computer printouts, and asked him if he would help me with this project in 1994. but i had wanted to write about ellison's work for a long time. and finally, in 1977, i wrote an essay on ellison, called "the historical frequencies of ralph waldseemuller dough ellison" and in this piece, i try to make the case that ellison's essays, and at that time, many others, some of them weren't published at all, and many of the most compelling essays hadn't made it into "shadow and act." ralph says, -- he used to say, society and morality in a novel, tell it like it is, baby, really, unbelievably superb in original essays, were rejected for inclusion in "shadow and act" if you can believe it and i tracked these down and tried to make the case that "invisible man" his essays rather not only provided a way to read "invisible man" but also more broadly provided a way to read american l

two men on for seattle's milton bradley. and he sends that to left field. josi comes around and scores. they trail 2-1 in the 5th. all right. the down side to the caps winning their division by 18 points is that heading into the playoffs it had been awhile since they played a meaningful game and perhaps that explains their sluggish start in the first half of the series. but, whatever, it's over now. last night's 5-1 victory puts the caps up two games to one. but there is still one problem. the power play. the caps had the best one in the league during the year but they're 0 for 13 with the advantage in these playoffs leading bruce to say. >> we suck right now. [ laughing ] >> we're still need the power play to be better and i think it will be there next game hopefully. but that was good for a team to get everybody involved. >> finally tonight in monte carlo forget about him for a second. watch the ball girl here who is not quite sure where to look as he changes his shirt right in front of her. she tried looking away but look at the smile. she can't quite ke

so with those introductions, let me start, if i could, jamie, with you and bradley, if you don't mind, also, tackling this first question, i want to talk a little bit, obviously, with the book we're going to talk about the implications of those events to what's going on today but let's start by trying to understand the issues themselves. president clinton said tim mcveigh was a troubled individual, but there was also a very contentious crime, if you sort out the positives of something you like in this magnitude, is it fundamentally rooted in a deeply alienated individual, or is there a social content, a political context that sets it in motion and how you kind of portion between the two in determining this kind of -- >> i think the president said quite aptly, you take a troubled individual and you put him in the context of a movement that is disparaging of and dehumanizing of other people, and it becomes permissible, indeed in the mind of such a person, to kill those people. the notion that you could so demonize federal workers and their children that it would -- you would be unremors
