john, belle moskowitz and what al smith did to educate himself. >> belle moskowitz served as his unofficial gate keeper. she would serve as his adviser. it was probably the best way to describe it as she was the person who would pass through all of these labor programs, all of these reconstruction commission. in fact, the reconstruction of new york state, which eventually led to the reforming of the state constitution and the establishment of a strong chief executive, was done with the reconstruction commission. that was belle moskowitz's brain child. he recruited bob moses' administration. they used to joke and say, that's the brains of tammany hall. it was kind of they joked with it because they weren't irish catholics, they were new york city and they were jewish. the interesting point you made about him not speaking in the assembly, smith sat so far back and was so intimidated, and he was so lost that he went back to new york after his second term and told tom foley, the tammany boss of his district, i think i might be in over my head. and he told him, i might be able to find you a job.

more money in your pocket for your wife to spend. ( laughter ) equity now president michael moskowitz says, surprisingly, there are plenty of homeowners like patlin still paying high rate mortgages. and then there are those who refinanced as recently as a year or two ago, and now find that rates are even lower. whether it pays to do another refi depends on how long you plan to stay in the home, and where you live, as costs vary from state to state. >> so we are in new york, where we have mortgage tax and basically high closing costs. in new jersey, you can close a $300,000 or $400,000 loan with closing costs of about $2,500. >> reporter: in low cost states, it may even make sense to get a new mortge, if the rate is ly half a percentage point lower. which begs the question-- where are mortgage rates headed next? that depends on the u.s. economy, and the ten-year bond in particular. >> if you are a little more bearish on the economy, yes, i would definitely wait to refinance, and give it another three months when you'll probably have a good chance to do it at 3.25%. >> reporter: as for
