this is a map a of death rates in new york from 1800 to today. a boy born in new york city could expect to live seven years less than the national average, today life expectancies are three years longer. we don't understand fully why cities like boston and new york are healthier than denser areas. some people credit walking, more people credit social connection. among younger people, though, it's crystal clear. two big causes for the death, motor vehicle accidents and suicide, both much rarer. it's a lot safer to get on the t after a few drinks than it is to get behind the wheel of a car. not that i'm recommending anything. [laughter] maybe suicide rates also reflect social connection or the influence of gun culture where there's a strong existence. now, this didn't happen by accident. america's cities and towns only became safe through massive expenditures on water works, right? america's cities and towns were spending as much on water at the start of the 20th century as the federal government was spending on everything except for the post office and the a

ben was born in new york city, he loved the beatles, lighthouses and he also played soccer, often running at full speed across the field, even when it wasn't necessary. he loved his lessons and couldn't wait to go to school every day to see his teacher and his friends. he was a tiger scout. at a his funeral, members of the local boy scout troop formed an honor guard and performed "taps." his parents write, he was a spirited boy whose love and excitement of the world could rarely be contained. his rush to experience life was headlong, creative, and immediate. he will be sadly missed. on her last birthday, allison wyatt had a pink cake with six pink candles. a first grader at sandy hook elementary. she loved to draw, wanted to be an artist when she grew up. she often would turn parts of her house into a mini-art studio, by taping rows of her drawings to the wall. her parents say allison sometimes surprised her parents with random acts of kindness to strangers, once offering her own snacks to fellow passengers on the plane. alison loved to laugh, was developing her own sense of humor. she wo

. >> just when you think -- the year i was born, 1967 in new york, gay people were not allowed to congregate together. you were not allowed to be in the same bar dancing together. i mean, how far things have come so quickly. >> and, you know, 1967 was also the decision in loving versus virginia. that was the famous case that said interracial marriage could not be banned by states. today that looks like -- can you imagine a state that would ban interracial marriage? but 19 states still had that law in 1967. this, gay rights supporters have said, this is the loving versus virginia of gay rights. we'll see. you know, i don't know what the outcome will be. the fact they took both of these cases suggests they are really ready to engage with the issue. it sure looks like they are, the four democratic -- the four democratic members of the court will vote to allow -- to overturn doma, to allow california to have same-sex marriages. i think anthony kennedy, as is often the case, will be the swing vote. >> jeff toobin, thanks very much. >>> tragedy after a prank call makes headlines. this is such an a

i was born and raised in new york city, and i live here now." i could not be more from anywhere on this planet. ani know they want to y... they really want to know, "what's your genetic background?" i wish there was... i just wish there was a socially acceptable way to say i'm genetically chinese. but the idea is that you can look at me, and if you're... and they think you're foreign, which can be useful, you know, if you don't want to speak with them. because you can be like, "oh, no speak english," right? but... >> hinojosa: you actually do that? >> i mean, like, i've done, "oh, no speak english." but in reality, you know, if you're... if you were to listen to this whole, you know, tape with your eyes closed, you would hear someone who's totally american. and that was so stunning to me, not from the context of being in the united states, but from me traveling around the world. and i would meet, like, latino chinese, and french chinese, and mauritian chinese, and indian chinese. indian chinese, totally weird, right? they look like me, but they

new jersey from santo domingo when you were six. your parents come with you? >> yes. my father was already here. my father had left in '69, a year after i was born, working in new yorkity. and then in '74, five years later, the rest of the family, me and my siblings and my mother joined him. we all moved to new jersey. >> and how did they support you? what were they doing? >> my father was a forklift operator. my mom had five kids, so you can imagine that was her full-time job and her hobby. and that was how it all began. my dad driving forklift up in elizabeth, new jersey. and us going to school. and my mom sort of trying to make it all happen in the house. >> what did they want you to do? >> oh my god, i mean, immigrant, conservative family, and a kid who they began to dawn that this kid was kind of bookish and kind of smart. my mom was, like, "hey, i want you to be a doctor. and if things go really bad, be an engineer. and if things go super bad, be a lawyer." but nothing beyond that. >> and your father? >> my dad was super conservative. my dad was to the rifle range every sunday. we went to the englishtown rifle range in new jersey. and my dad always said his dr

the "new york times" told me today that charles edward durning was born into poverty in 1923 in highlandalls, new york on the hudson river. charles was the ninth of ten children, and five of his sisters died of smallpox or scarlet fever in childhood. three of them died within two weeks. and world war ii. he was in the first wave of troops to land on omaha beach on d-day. he was his unit's only survivor of the war. he was stabbed in hand-to-hand combat. he killed the german soldier who was stabbing him. had to kill him with a brick. when charles durning looked at that dead german he had just killed who seemed no more than 15 years old, he held him in his arms and cried. he was awarded three purple hearts and a silver star. "the times" points out that he avoided discussing his combat service until later in life, but it was for that service that in 2008 france awarded him the national order of the legion of honor. i'm one of the lucky writers who got to write for charles durning. it is not a small group. there are probably at least 300 of us, if you include all of the plays and the televisi

the past 40 years, you probably know and love charles durning, one of ten children born to a poor family in upstate new york character actor. he stole scenes in the darkest dramas and slap stick comedieco. on christmas eve at his home in manhattan charles durning passed away. he was 8 t9 years old. they have also lost the unforgettable jack klugman. our alina cho looks back. >> reporter: for millions of television viewers, jack klugman will always be sports writer oscar madison, the cigar smoking, beer guzzling slob in "the odd couple." >> come on. >> reporter: surprisingly "the odd couple" wasn't his most successful series. at least not at first. it ran for five years on abc and never ranked higher than 36 in the ratings but reruns on local stations and nick at night turned it into a cult classic making it far more popular than klugman's other tv series "quincy." klugman was the wily medical examiner for seven seasons. it premiered in 1976 as part of nbc's mystery movie. it quickly became a weekly series. when tended, klugman made brief appearances but stayed mainly on his ranch raising horses. he continue

i was born in a small river town on the hudson, newburgh new york. when i was growing up, look magazine called it the all-american city and at that time we had kind of an inner-city, but then we had a lot of harm kids and there was an air force base of the schools will follow the inner-city and harm can and kids who'd been around the world. it was an interesting place to grow up. earlier on my father grew up in the newburgh poorhouse. it was called the poggi. my father's mother was a charwoman at the poorhouse come which meant she cleaned the bathrooms or the other poor people and they got a room there. so that was our background and that's why feel i should be the next president of the united states. [laughter] [applause] anyway, i've been poor and have been middle-class and then i was poor again and then i was middle-class again and now i'm kind of bridge. [laughter] i must admit to riches better. but i still believe that the satisfaction in our lives revolves more around who we are at the core. i think it's mostly we get comfortable in her own ski

. >> born in new york city -- >> i'm originally from lower manhattan, alphabet city. >> at 14 years oldattacks from his high school classroom. >> i saw cars that were littered with dust. i saw people in business suits that were littered in dust. >> in 2006, he enlisted in the army. >> i actually swore in the day before my 19th birthday, and a couple weeks later, i shipped off to basic. >> after two towers in afghanistan, ricardo benejam's service ended in 2011. coming home wasn't easy. >> the first week or so, i would be waking up and i'm like i'm going to be late for formation. i'm like there's no more formation. i think what actually helped me transition better is i started school right after i got out. >> he's just two semesters away from getting his bachelor's degree in criminal justice. he says his veteran status and the struggling economy stifled his job search. >> some of the challenges are just getting people to actually hire us. >> ricardo found help from the wounded warrior project. >> warriors to work is an employer-friendly program that allows our military professionals to t

new jersey's important leaders. it would be a privilege to continue his great service. sounds like he wants to run for senate. >> assuming frank lautenberg doesn't. >> he's 90. >> i was born in new yorkere is a soft part in my heart. cory booker, if he runs for nate senate, i think that's a good choice. i think chris christie can be beaten. >> by who? >> i have no idea but a lot of people think he's not as vulnerable as is he. >> beginning in the clinton area, we saw a reconstitution of the democrats with the election of rudy giuliani and christie todd whit enas governor of new jersey. if scott brown were to be re-elected, if chris christie were to be re-elected and we could hope for progress in congressional level and like a local level, a reconstitution of the part that needs republican representation. >> dreaming of ben affleck as a gubernatorial candidate. is that at all realistic? >> it doesn't feel like it. there are too many experienced politicians that will elbow him out. i think david raises a really important point and this gun issue may end up coal lessing that. which is, we just don't have any republicans willing to work with democrats anymore. i don't think scott brown h

one of the most for bart will numbers i have seen was born in new york times who wrote over half of theepublican house was reelected with 60 +% of the vote. bottom line, they're concerned about primaries, not general elections. host: the the introduce him to his favorite music groups, ac/dc and led zepplin? there was a back-and-forth over the music. guest: they had some of on a rather different musical tastes. i do not think he became a big ac/dc fan. host: our guests are glenn thrush and jonathan martin. their book is "the end of the line" on ebook available on kindle at amazon.com. this is a notion based less on polling science them raw emotion from a campaign during battle. there was a sense among republicans that chris christie had stabbed him in the back. what's interesting about these candidates to do the crossover move is they tend to alienate the base and they tend to lose their effectiveness of a party that they cross over to. in recent days, talking to people in the senate you actually feel that his support for the $60 billion request for 70 relief is hurting them with republi
