news lady, carole simpson. simpson, the first black woman to anchor a national network news program has written a book about her career. her climb to the top was not easy and filled with racist and sexist obstacles. >> i wanted to write the story because as many people say, i had no idea you were going through those things. because they would see me on television. doing reporting or anchoring. and being very confident and not having any idea that i would leave the studio and have to you know, yell at some colleague who said, i'd be anchoring the news if i were in black face and wore a kerchief on my head. every six to nine months i would get a reminder that i was just a black woman. don't think that you are on our level. that you are a correspondent like we are or an anchor like we are. you're still just a black woman. and it was very disconcerting because i was looking for the day when i would just be carole simpson. >> simpson says that day never came. during her 40 year career she interviewed, martin luther

political future well the publisher of the trends journal gerald celente is talking us from new york carol thanks for coming on to let's talk about the surge and now well prices some are predicting it could go as high as two hundred dollars a barrel what's your assessment well we don't see it going that high unless of course there's an outbreak in a major oil producers such as saudi arabia maybe something happening with iran closure of the suez canal but what we're looking at really is very reminiscent of the late one nine hundred seventy s. nineteen seventy nine when the iranian crisis broke out because there's another element in this that's important it's inflation and what we're looking at was we look back in the seventy's it was high inflation because the iranian crisis or the oil strike you have the same thing going on now while prices were going up before that happens and it's because of the devaluation of the dollar now here's where it really gets tricky the only reason this ponzi scheme continues to go on is because the federal reserve has interest rates near zero what's going to h

they make a mistake they get billed out of court the void of all of course of the voidable going on carol how come i'm not going to the groom's going over babbitts right now taking these guys out there for a guitarist actually specifically mention low interest rates as not being the primary factor in the collapse because there are a lot more basically fried and incompetence and failure to regulate so they say they agree with sarkozy the commission that investigated the crisis castle wide net of blame faulting to let ministrations the federal reserve. and other regulators for permitting a calamitous caution shoddy mortgage lending excessive packaging and sale of loans to investors and risky bets and securities backed by the loans they said quote the greatest tragedy would be to accept the refrain that no one could have seen this coming and it's not and could have been done if we accept this notion it will happen again remember who two people two very well respected americans warren buffett and alan greenspan both said we couldn't have seen this coming it's a complete lie many people report

>> i will respond briefly to both carol swain -- i agree with what carol swain said about the dream act. it is too respective. just to clarify what we're doing here, we do not get to make the laws. we get to speak about what we think the law should be. we are in agreement. there should be an expanded dream act that gives legal status to all of those who for an extended period-on that was where you were going. >> as conceived it is problematic and very elitist. >> tell me what you think about what it should be. >> i am saying -- whig a minute. wait a minute. i have a comprehensive immigration plan that is truly comprehensive. for the record. i think the dream act the way it is being pushed and sounds so beautiful, it is the american dream and how could you be opposed to it. it applies to people as old as 35, the person has to be a high school graduate and they have to go to college or go into the military. those things are not comparable and there is an elite bias there for the kids who go through college. people have to decide the best plan but i have a comprehensive immigration plan an

examining security at a1 and extra space facilities close toast carol's public storage.about security? >> we have an alarm for each unit. >> reporter: we found part of the reason this a1 storage may have fewer burglaries each has an alarm that customers can set when they leave. the facility has had just three break-ins over the last two years. the same number as this extra space storage. both facilities had outdoor cameras that appeared to be functioning. back at public storage carol is getting ready to pack up and leave. >> i think the stuff would have been safer in my car, sitting out in my car on the street. >> reporter: on the consumer watch, julie watts, cbs 5. >> public storage declined to comment on the consumer watch investigation. but the company says the fewer facilities also have alarms on individual units. not many of those in the bay area. to check out consumer watch's database check out our website. >> another day in court for robert rizzo. it may be one of his last. the deal that could bring an end to the bell salary scandal. >> maybe if we had brought ove

hanlen, and carol anne rodgers. first speaker. >> my name is tom burwell. i represent redwood mortgage. my brother and i and several others now run the small, private mortgage lender. the current owner of 1269 lombard street is in a limited partnership of which many of our investors are members. we took the property back after foreclosure when the developer abandoned the site in the midst of the renovation. our job was to resurrect a project to replace the unsightly condition the developer left. there is no money or profit to make of this foreclosed property. our goal was to develop the property that is acceptable and liked by the neighborhood, and to minimize additional losses to our investors. it is a difficult task to appease everyone. we would like to thank the russian hill neighbors, the neighborhood association, 900 members strong, for its support. we wish to thank all the adjacent property owners for their patience and support with what we have proposed. upon taking back the property, we hired an architect. the initial design was not liked by the nei

carol bond was the microbiologist in pennsylvania. after she discovered her friend was pregnant with carol bond... by carol bond's husband she engaged in a campaign that started with harassing and threatening letters and phone calls and escalated to 24 separate attempts to injure her by using toxic chemicals that bond either stole from her employer or got on the internet. bond was convicted under a federal law, a chemical weapons law that was enacted by congress to implement a 1993 chemical weapons treaty. she was sentenced to six years in prison. >> woodruff: what is the exact question before the court? >> well, the question for the court really isn't whether this chemical weapons law is unconstitutional. bond, in her appeal, wanted to prove that it was unconstitutional but the lower appellate court said she could not bring this claim. she did not have what we call standing. so the issue before the court is whether carol bond can make a claim that the law is unconstitutional because she argues it exceeds congress's powers by encroach

. >> carol, do you agree or disagree that public defenders contribute to this negative image? should be accept some responsibility here? >> i think a causality of the media disconnect -- it is obviously there. the media is not show him what i see and do in my everyday life. but rathe saying i think it is the media's fault, the media thinks it is our fault for notg them, i think we all need to do a better job. her book shows that from a journalistic standpoint. she went into the courtroom and watched. she told the story. by the same token, we can do that as public defenders. i have thought, if public defenders was a major corporation and had this image problem, there would be a massive pr campaign. there would be commercials everywhere. instead we say, gosh, it sucks. but actually, we are doing good work and we have motives and goals, and we are crusaders, someone not present ourselves that way? i heard today that there was a commercial being done. he was thinking along the same lines as me, so how he must be brilliant.
