CHARLIE ROSE: Mario Batali is here. In 1993 he borrowed, $20,000
from three friends to open Babbo, a small Italian eatery in downtown
Manhattan. Today his empire consists of more than a dozen restaurants in
New York, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas, including his flagship establishment
Babbo.
He’s also the author of eight cookbooks that offer a unique take on
traditional Italian cuisine. His latest is called "Molto Gusto -- Easy
Italian Cooking." I am pleased to have him back at this table. What is
this about? And I know we want to talk about other things?
MARIO BATALI: That is about American’s overreliance on protein as
part of the way they eat.

Can we avoid black swans? Ken Posner -- veteran Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) securities analyst and author of the book Stalking the Black Swan: Research and Decision-Making in a World of Extreme Volatility-- says, "Yes." Posner states, "Volatility results from market economies, global capital flows, and information technologies and is necessary for innovation and progress. Rather than wishing volatility away, we need to design a financial system that is more robust in the face of extreme volatility, and refine decision-making techniques to account for the risk of Black Swan events."

CHARLIE ROSE: Doris Buffett is here. She is the older sister of
Warren Buffett. Like her brother, she plans on donating her entire fortune
to philanthropy, but unlike Warren, she plays a hands-on role in the day-
to-day activities of her foundation.
In the past 15 years, she’s given away more than $100 million, much of
it in small, personal donations amounting to less than $10,000 each. She
is now the subject of a new biography called "Giving it All Away: The Doris
Buffett Story" written by Michael Zitz and includes a forward by Warren.
I am pleased to have Doris Buffett at the table for the first time.
Welcome.

CHARLIE ROSE: Peter Beinart is here. He’s a former editor of "The
New Republic" magazine, he’s now senior political writer for "The Daily
Beast." He’s caused a lively debate for an essay he wrote in the June 10th
issue of "The New York Review of Books." It is called "The Failure of the
American Jewish Establishment." He is worried about the future of young
American Jews and their attachment to Israel.
He’s here today because of another book, it is called "The Icarus
Syndrome, a History of American Hubris." He looks at how American
presidents and their advisors have been tempted by success to overreach in
war. I am pleased to have him back at this table. Welcome.
PETER BEINART: Thank you.

The Right Honourable Jeremy Hunt MP, newly installed Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport, has a few thoughts on the ambitions of UK broadband: "pitifully unambitious." In his first major policy speech today, Hunt opened by praising his wife for "having our baby two weeks early" so he had time to work on media policy. He then name-checked Karl Popper and Thomas Paine.
