according to the federal government, john gotti, sr., and later, his son, john, jr., ran the gambino crime family, the largest, most influential mafia family in the country. gotti, sr., who died in prison nine years ago, was a ruthless gangster who craved celebrity; the son, if you are to believe his story, wanted out. and john gotti, jr., wants people to believe his story. after the federal government put him on trial four times in five years without getting a conviction, he agreed to sit down with us and talk about his family saga in his first extended television interview. he wanted to be the only person we talked to on camera for this story, and to have his lawyer by his side to make sure he didn't say anything that could be used to indict him again, because no one is likely to be watching this story more closely than the f.b.i. >> john gotti, jr.: my father was my cause. if my father wasn't in that life, i probably wouldn't have been in the street life, either. whatever he was is what i wanted to be. and if he decided the next day, "you know what? i don't like this anymore. i'm

but no, he is not, john. but you know, the united states of america, i think it's important here, unless there's a massive bloodbath or chemical weapons are used, that we let the libyans win their own revolution against these individuals. they do it themselves on their own. then if they want folks to come in and help them rebuild their country, i think that's vitally important. >> you think -- >> we don't win the revolution. >> you thinker going soft on osama? he was responsible for 9/11, pat? there's it doubt -- which. >> gaddafi hasn't -- the 9/11. >> a little 9/11, lockerbie. and that's his baby! >> the only way osama bin egyp and also, again, as pat that co ungoverned state, and it could become a haven for terrorists. that's an outcome that we don't want. but this is an unhinged personality. and the president is trying to balance american national security interests because he is actually been an ally. he gave up his weapons of mass destruction program under the bush administration, and he has been playin

and john, therein lies the conundrum i think. the notion of the mutual support process, does promote and sustain a certain type of language that would tend to perpetuate i believe, the very labels that we're trying to overcome is that correct? i think so because these, these terms are so embedded in, in our culture, in our psyche that i it takes a long time for them to, to change. even in spite of, as daphne was saying, you know the new scientific knowledge we have of the nature of these disorders. talk a little bit about that. well in terms of, we've, we've learned a lot in the last 25 years in terms of i think particularly neuroscience findings, that have really elucidated the mechanisms, the kind of brain damage that occurs as a function of chronic exposure to alcohol and other drugs. and this has really helped us really understand what's really going on and why people who historically have been viewed as having weak character and weak will, is really a function of brain damage which impairs their ability to regulate those imp

the man who invented the computer, the biography of john atanasoff. jane, this seems like a departure, a biography and thriller as well. different from a loss of your work that you are better known for. why write this book? what interests you about john atanasoff? >> guest: well, i will state. i spent a long time and iowa, the state of iowa. by second husband was editor of a magazine, which is the history magazine of viola to be around the time that the first book was written he wrote a little article football. i remember sitting across the table from and him telling me the principle behind the abc computer, the first computer. there were so crystal clear to me that he explained them clearly. it was so interesting to me how they gelled in my mind. they stuck in my mind. subsequently i was asked to read a book about an american inventor. i said, to the person who was talking to me, you know who invented a computer? there are a lot of reasons for that. books written before about the subjects, and they are all about my guy was first. no, my guy was first

when i got to saint johns i went to the perish rejist ree. met the woman i spoke with on the phone and she gave me complete access to the archives. ship lists and when they came over 1550 or 1851. there was no marriage record. they probably got married on the boat which happened often. that's where i found out that the trade with the merry times and county cork was a lumber trade. they brought lumber over and humans were brought back. profound history that, you know, my ancestors were a part of. not just mine bithousands and millions of people have this story deep in their background. i also found out the location of where my great, great grandfather was buried in saint johns which is ruinned by acid rain because they built a refinary over it. this is an irish american grave yard a memorial to the experience of coming over her in famine times partridge islands is where they had to go through. i stood about where the plot was which was a mass grave. there was no marker at all. they were buried together with the other poor in a little area. to

john lyon, "bbc news," cairo. >> our world correspondent john simpson is in cairo, and he spoke about how important the events are in egypt. >> i think it's difficult to overstate the importance of this, not actually just for the region, although clearly it's a profound importance to the middle east and beyond. but to the world at large. this i fully believe is the 21st century's equivalent of, for instance, the revolutions in eastern europe in 1989, an old system collapsing and being shown simply not to be relevant to the world any longer. what happened here is young people, this is the internet generation. it's grown up, and expecting to have freedom of thought and not -- simply not accepting it when that freedom of thought is being prevented by an old, outdated, outmoded government. i think that this has a real significance beyond this country. i think if i were the colonel of libya, or the president of syria, or ahmadinejad of iran, i don't think i would be sleeping very well tonight. and i think all this honking and hooting in the streets would be echoing in my dreams. >> our wor

john adams noted in his diary... quote: "they say if one thousand regular british troops should land in georgia, and their commander provided them with arms and clothes, and proclaimed freedom, 20,000 negroes would join from georgia and south carolina, in a fortnight." (john adams) narrator: the english came to the same conclusion, and lord dunmore, the british governor of virginia, issued a proclamation inviting slaves to join the royal forces. quote: "i do hereby declare all negroes free, that are willing to bear arms, for the more speedily reducing the colony to a proper sense of their duty to his majesty's crown and dignity." (lord dunmore) narrator: despite the many obvious reasons to serve under the british, the negro's primary loyalty was to the principle of liberty. a slave poet named phillis wheatley expressed those sentiments in a letter, which was published in the connecticut gazette in 1774. quote from letter: "in every human breast, god has implanted a principle, which we call love of freedom; it is impa

i get to call you john, because this was before he became speaker. i first met john in 2008. bill said to me, my college friend is in town running for a board office in l.a.. we found ourselves having breakfast one morning. i thought, we are going to spend the entire breakfast talking about his candidacy, who was going to win. this is too much for a saturday morning. but sure enough, at one point, he stopped talking about the campaign and just started playing with our daughter isabella, who was two at the time. at the pinnacle of their relationship, she spilled and ice cold glass of water all over his pants. i am thinking in my head, he hates us. should i buy him a new pair of pants? what should i do? john just looked at me and said, it is no big deal. don't worry about it. whether he was uncomfortable or not, you would not have known it. he accepts the situation, moves on, and that is the kind of person he is. sari, we have some baby issues. i promise i will keep isabella away from you with any beverages tonight. now i will refer to you as speaker. john perez was elected to
