along buchanan street, it is meant to more closely take cues. the buildings on the right are broken down in scale. along waller park, the goal is to emphasize the site. we broke the building into smaller pieces, more vertical pieces. you can see a rendering of the park. it is meant to be a very rich space, and a lot of variety, places for assembly, farmers' market, activity. the nemuse is meant to be simpl, quiet, calm, repetitive. all the different than the other spaces. it is a little bit tighter space than the rest of the spite -- site. the courtyards or men to feel different from one another. the court yards closer to the hall took a lot of their cues to what is on the historic buildings. i want to touch on the amenity building. in response to the comments come that we have altered that amenity building significantly. this is a section of the building. we have eliminated the circular drum that was at the end of the mews. we have taken one floor of the amenity building. one elevator that pokes up above grade. we have reduced the scale of the

the reason the driveway on buchanan seat is 20 feet is to reasons. one is that is the one the parking will be utilizing. they will be coming once or twice a year. the second thing is that is a basement garage, so there is a fairly steep incline going to the driveway, so there is no visibility. unlike the driveway that does not have a steep slope, drivers will be familiar with it. it is not safe to narrow it less than 20 feet. is one in and one out. it is not a wider than that, but now it would not be good to widen it because of the people driving in and out of the garage. good >> i am supportive of specifying 50 p.m. mar -- 50

there was also some mention of the driveway on buchanan being narrow. if it makes sense, if it is safe, if it does not compromise

there was also some mention of the driveway on buchanan being narrow. if it makes sense, if it is safe, if it does not compromise, if the with of that could be narrower, that makes sense. the other thing i saw, on the earlier iteration, while airpark would look like a larger grassy -- waller park would look like a grassy area. it is important to

also, pat buchanan is coming here. he has this issue of a short convention.an actually be okay. work to the republicans' advantage. he will explain that. pat buchanan. ry and abigail higgins had... ...a tree that bore the most rare and magical fruit. which provided for their every financial need. and then, in one blinding blink of an eye, their tree had given its last. but with their raymond james financial advisor, they had prepared for even the unthinkable. and they danced. see what a raymond james advisor can do for you. for their "destination wedding." double miles you can "actually" use. but with those single mile travel cards..

within the hour, james sonny buchanan is dead from a single bullet wound to the back. >> who the hellhoots a guy who is mowing his lawn? anyone could have been doing that. i could have been doing that. >> the police came to my door and i realized as soon as they were at my door and they had his driver's license in their hand. those are scenes you don't forget. probably the hardest thing to do was tell my parents their only son was killed and how he was killed. >> as police investigate the crime scene, cab driver prim song pulls into a gas station five miles away. >> time was about 8:30 in the morning. he's my regular customer. for four or five years he come in every morning about 9:00, actually. that day, somehow he came half hour early. i asked him, you're "early today." and he said, i have something to do for my daughter today. >> fire and ambulance. >> oh, my god the man is dead on aspen hill and -- >> aspen hill and what? >> oh, i don't know. >> ma'am, ma'am. >> aspen hill, connecticut. what's wrong. >> a man is being killed in front of me. >> how is a man being killed in front of

buchanan was at the republican convention in 1992 in -- in this next one, pat buchanan was at the republicanion in 1992, describing a religious war. >> well, we took the long way home, but we finally got here. and i want to congratulate president bush, and remove any doubt about where we stand. the primaries are over, the heart is strong again, and the buchanan brigades are enlistedall the way to a great comeback victory in november. [applause] >> my friends my friends -- like many of you last month, i watched that giant masquerade ball at madison square gardenwhere 20,000 radicals and liberals came dressed up as moderates and centrists in the greatest single exhibition of cross dressing in american political history. one by one, the prophets of doom appeared at the podium. the reagan decade, they moaned, was a terrible time in america, and the only way to prevent even worse times, they said, is to entrust our nation's fate and future to the party that gave us mcgovern, mondale, carter and michael dukakis where did they find these leaders? no way, my friends. the american people are not goin

. >> i'm having flash backs to when pat buchanan's monday speech at the houston convention in 1992 sortlican party in a way and it really set back bush 41 and really sort of over shadowed everything, was very -- the culture value speech, akin is almost serving as this same role as buchanan did, sort of right as the party is trying to present itself to the public, bringing it in a way they don't want to. >> here is the difference. 20 years later there is virtually no undecided vote at this point and i agree with your pollster earlier. look, the president of the united states is probable y the best known person in the world. he has a hundred percent name recognition. you have to assume the six odd percent of undecided voters still out there are going to go other way and the republicans have to give them permission to take that step. that is really what all of this fuss is about. >> nick, look. they are trying -- they're trying to prevent not only akins but other people who might share his opinion are not getting primetime. >> he doesn't want a pat buchanan primetime but a tax on the econo

. >> jennifer: well, let's listen to a quick sound byte from patrick buchanan as the 1992 g.o.p.the agenda that clinton and clinton would impose on america. abortion on demand. a litmus test for the supreme court, homosexual rights, discrimination in religious schools. women in combat units. that's changed, all right, but that's not the kind of change america needs. it's not the kind of change that america wants. >> jennifer: now i think he probably went off script a little in that sound byte. what was the fallout from that? >> well, and it was a--it was a problem for george bush at the time because buchanan kind of stole the day red meat language, pitchfork attitude to turn a lot of people off to the republicanism. it was too much of a stolen moment. this year the republicans in tampa not wanting sarah palin to give a speech. if this she was there there would be so much media attention, and if she went off the reservation or went rogue as she likes to say, held go off the news cycle. you have to keep your people in mind. one of the dangers of chris christie giving a speech in ta

after our initial phone call, buchanan never talked to us again.ws conference in erie, the current u.s. attorney, david hi hickton, wasn't forthcoming seats. what about mr. stockton, what can you tell us about his status and will he ever be president about this? >> we're not in a position to comment on mr. stockton. >> douglas, marriajorie armstros attorney says there's good reason the fbi wants to keep quiet wi quiet about this. >> do you think he got away with it? >> yes. convicted multi-time sex offender. the government felt he was the least involved person and so they gave him immunity. >> they shouldn't have gave him immunity. he didn't deserve immunity. he deserved -- he has the guilty one that killed my brother. he deserved to be brought to justice. >> stockton has been featured on the television show, "meamerica most wanted." private investigators tried to track him down but stockton has literally vanished. at least that is what he may have thoughtntil the day we found him. these are pictures of stockton today, two hours north of seattle, d

lots of pat buchanan. that's the speech where pat buchanan talked about how there is a culture war in america, really turned off people, really alienated people. they don't want mike huckabee as a friendlier voice, they don't want mike huckabee or anyone else riling up delegates, when you look at these delegates, they're far more conservative. the ring -- far more conservative than the image that republican strategists want to be painting for the rest of the country. they don't want anyone getting up to the podium who's going to rile up the delegates, and bring back memories what have happened in 1992, that really scared off swing voters. >> patricia, help me here, i don't want all of this inside baseball. we are talking about a candidate who needs to come up in the women's vote significantly. and we are talking about what akin said is outrageous to women, even republican women. doesn't this at all play into the conversation. it's almost as if they're oblivious to the insult that was stated by mr. akin. >>

a second improvement that can be made, it was mentioned that the buchanan street parking entrance, which serves 120 spaces, is 2-car clinks wide -- lengths wide. laguna has been reconfigured successfully to one car lenght. -- lenghth. peter spoke to the inadequacy of the current public access to the community gardens. the community gardens, the community center are listed as the public amenities. amenities without good access to not mean much. in proving that small service door and the access would be -- improving that small service store and the access would be an enhancement. if you were able to specify a recreations of the mural at the entry of would hall, -- wood hall, that would add to the historic value of the entire project. commissioner wu: thank you. thyssen henderson and peter -- jason anderson and peter cohen. >> good evening. thank you for listening this evening and for your patience. we have been through many iterations. we are enthusiastic about adaptive reuse of this site. i would like to remind the commission that this is a unique site. this is publicly owned land. this i

[laughter] and he was not much better than buchanan. andrew johnson, as i say, he lost control of the government. you can govern if you can't control the government for whatever reason. president fillmore, i'm not sure i would think too much about him. and orangey harding and of course, since his departure from the white house, richard nixon who raises a very interesting question, which i am not going to get into here, but maybe in the q&a about what are we going to do about a president who is so immediately humiliated. and yet accomplished some very significant things before all that happened. another guy in that category but to a lesser extent, but to a significant extent as lyndon johnson who had massive accomplishments. he basically brought himself down to his vietnam. let's talk about grant. >> all of these guys that are the so-called failures are one charmers except for nixon. and except for the one outlier, and that is ulysses-esque ranford grant is considered a failure, although he is rising in the estimation of history. he was

pat buchanan? >> 1 john, 163,000 new jobs created, 150,000 people left the labor force and disappeared, 45,000 became unemployed, that is why the unemployment rate has gone up. the size of the labor force is diminishing. barack obama's plan, he said it worked, it is not working. there is no question about it. john, 41, 42 months of 8 plus percent unemployment. he says mitt romney's plan won't work. mitt romney's plan, as i understand it, is very close to a plan 30 years ago of ronald reagan which did work, which created something like 20 million new jobs. we don't know if it is going to happen now, but it is a far better bet to bet on him i think than to bet on what has been failing for four years. >> eleanor? >> harken back decades ago, president obama's plan is like bill clinton's plan which gave us 24 million jobs and a surplus and not as long ago as president reagan. and i would point out the private sector created 17 2,000 jobs, the markets reacted quite favorably, i think that the white house
