music, chicago media. >> sure. chicago, of course, is the center of genres in terms of music that many people see as foundational to the turn toward modern popular music, but signified by rock-and-roll, rhythm-and-blues and so and music and gospel for instance. it is a musical form that is really taking root in chicago. again, being institutionalized by virtue of the emergence of national administrative bodies, by virtue of the establishment of producers and songwriters who are really thinking about how to move gospel from the handle to something that is going to appeal to a broader audience and indeed a crossover audience like black to white and also to some degree secular from sacred. blues similarly is undergoing a transformation in terms of its modernization. record companies are merging in chicago and elsewhere to be sure, but the central companies like chess records, for instance, are centered here in chicago. as well radio and the capacity of radio to establish playlists, to create deejays who are going to b

estimate how we do that at the chicago -- >> it's your values. part of the reasons the people that you mentioned chandler and mccormick and the people that gave the tribune, made the tribune a great newspaper is that they had strong journalistic values and they believe in the journalism and i think that it's we kind of got out of fashion that journalists should be in charge of the business operations and be involved in it. we have a law to protect us and we would remain pure and would never do that. i think that has to change and i think that journalists have to assume the business responsibilities that we didn't do for a long time and kind of figure this out because i think what might said the lives talking about before. it has to be based the public respect for you and your values and the institutions that you run so you have to really be strong and racist and i think that it will be easier in an organization like the chicago is cooperative can i, as a bunch of revenue streams and that gives a bad appearance. and i think a lot of it is in the v

he was the washington bureau chief for the chicago tribune. he writes for everyone incoming the at -- including the at atlantic monthly, huffington post, sun times, and he's basically done everything. these two guys i'm sure most of you know have worked together for years, and we've heard a lot of different stories about them working together. one of my favorite stories 1 a story that both of them kind of tell about how jim o'shea was so mad at james warren that he screamed at him and hung up the phone, and they didn't speak for awhile. you remember that? [laughter] you don't forget that. we hope they are not here to retaliate tonight. i know jim warren will be giving you a lot of jim's background. everybody's named jim basically. [laughter] i just wanted to say quickly that i have huge respect, and i know many of you do for jim o'shea. it is amazing to me all he's accomplished in his life, and you know he was a very much loved journalist and managing editor of the tribe biewn, and everyone feels very deeply about him in general and chatting w

and in chicago, laura washington, columnist for the chicago "chicago sun-times."t now, you look at the pictures of the president, do you think chicago really prepared him adequately for this job in washington? >> in many ways, to be a chicago politician is to be prepared for anything. the world comes to chicago and you learn how to deal with it. as i've reflected on it over the past few months, there are two things that might have upgraded against him. there's only one side of the aisle. it's an intense political atmosphere, but it's a hot house from liberal democrats. i don't think he has the experience in dealing with the other side of the aisle. secondly, in many ways, even more importantly, with the exception of one congressional race he lost, he's lived a charmed political life, he's really been very important in his choice of opponents. he's been elected against great odds, but in the ensd, rather easily. he's never really been electorally in a tough race he lost. and there are lessons that way. and i think we might see in some of the battles he's had, his d

. >> reporter: i'm diane eastabrook in chicago. still ahead, i'll tell you how the windy city is dealing with its foreclosure problem. >> tom: back-to-school season is in full swing. the national retail federation estimates families with children in kindergarten-12th grade will spend on average more than $600 on clothing, school supplies and electronics this year. erika miller looks at this year's winners and losers. >> reporter: they may not have jobs or credit cards, but stores are bending over backwards to cater to their youngest customers. retailers know that children often have a big say in what their parent's buy this time of year. we found six-year-old makayla bolton loading up the shopping bag at j.c. penney today, eager to show us her picks. >> it's my favorite one because it's all colorful and it has all the decorations. >> reporter: like many adults, her father jim is worried about the weak economy, but he still plans to spend about $2,000 on back-to-school items for his four kids. that's slightly more than last year. >>

the archbishop of chicago. so there's almost a built-in conflict just sitting there when you have somebody that is speaking in a kind of pathetic way and urging people to do radical things, to come out in march and two, e-mail, take time to do things to change the way the world works, at least the word they know in their immediate world. pfleger didn't get support from other priests because frankly priests and want to get involved in that the. but the most common priests were told not to get involved. but they do the proper authorities involved. that's not the police jobs to go out. the microwave for churches and stationed dutch, but the churches there. it seems like the two would get along great. >> well, you wish they would, but his three shows, you know, this is nothing to do with it. san fran is, st. tammany, all the great people of the church who were pathetically tears. st. thomas aquinas got excommunicated. but a lot of the people who are leaders feel like they are looking more to the people were marchin

there's a downtown chicago for people 16 and under. [laughter] and in the book i talk about, you know, the kind of radical fashion statements that young people have in be japan to separate themselves from anything that has to do, and it's like several standard deviations beyond lady gaga. [laughter] and then there's the downtown chicago for the people over 70. you know, and it's a long walking mall where all of the curves have been smoothed, where the street is smoothed, where the shopkeepers have been briefed to be patient as people recount their change. [laughter] it's the only mcdonald's in japan where you can bring your own sandwich. [laughter] because if you can't let people bring their own sandwich, nobody goes. [laughter] but now they go, and they sit, and they sit, and they sit. [laughter] and, you know, this is what can happen as a place ages is you get these radical shifts. now, it happened in japan, i think, for the same reasons that are surprising elsewhere in the countries that really aggressively assert that they are pro-

sublime the church on chicago's south side tenth 1981. just over 50 minutes. >> thank you for coming out here and coming inside on this in especially beautiful day in chicago. we appreciate you being here. i cover religion at the chicagoo tribune and have been there for, eight years.t the different dramas and side as that has surrounded his church on the city's south side. he is not just the chicago icona he has become a nationalth catholic icon who really resents social justice and of the things as well in the catholic church besides social justice.speci h especially how priests, clergy,s churches can really communicate th and deal with thee media. i would say positive and has negative ways. he has been a model above.ated the real expert is to my right. this is robert mccrory. bob and i have known each other for a while. but weston school of journalism. we taught how to cover religioni that's how lineup got to knowe bob. with then he came out with this biography, radical disciple. and so i want to interview bomb today, in front of you he

chicago was, of course, chicago is more or less the capital of the midwestern united states.he midwest is the, at that time, was the citadel of isolationism in the united states, and chicago was the home of roosevelt's old classmate, colonel robert mccormack, who was the publisher of "the chicago tribune" and by far america's most prominent and vociferous isolationist. so he came to chicago, he came into the lion's den to say, in effect, that america, that to lay out what he felt -- and this was all done in kind of slightly ambiguous language, but clearly he's saying that we face a threat from the rising tide of authoritarianism in europe and that the united states, uniquely situated as we are, uniquely conceived as we have been as the great democratic republic, we must be the great arsenal of democracy. that's where that phrase, that term comes from. and that we of all nations must prepare ourselves for the coming challenge, um, and this will not only be a political challenge, but a literal military challenge that we must, we may, we may have to do this, we may have to do th

>> it didn't really find much about the political establishment in chicago.ay that it happened. if it happened at all they would have had to sum would give it their blessing but i can't tell you that the political the establishment and the prospect was very supportive of it. they still are. i mean, it's by far the prospects biggest taxpayer and really allow the prospect in a timely construction to kind of rise ahead of all the other competing suburbs in this area to provide a lot of services to people to lower the property tax which was a big point for anybody looking to move to the suburb so you had your choice of a dozen of suburbs and the prospect was kind of able to stand out because of the presence. >> what impact if any did the mall have on a shopping center as well as the surrounding chicago communities beginning in 1971 and for the remainder of the 1970's into the 1980's as well? >> it kind of serves as the foil or leges it will go as far as to say the villain in the book to read it was built about 5 miles away from randhurst, and it wasn't just what

you got back very late from chicago.sentative for all of the rest of us as the pool reporter for the white house. >> yes. >> press corps in chicago. tell us -- >> well, jennifer hudson sang happy birthday. the president was in a really good mood. he hadn't been out of washington for over a month and hadn't been home in even longer. he was met on the tarmac by mayor rahm emanuel, which is a first, his former chief of staff. the crowd was energized. he was very excited to be there. he made a couple of jokes about turning 50 today. he said he's going to get his aarp card today. the message was essentially i know it's been tough but stick with me. he said at the end he got hoarse and was yelling into the microphone as many people remember from the campaign and saying that as long as he can have a rough week in washington and he knows that these voters have his back, and that remains to be seen, but he certainly hopes to. >> bill burton, if you were trying to spin this from the white house pressroom right now, which you are n

so in chicago, she put them to ththtest to see how much they really know. we'll talk to mellody in just a moment because you all have some young ones, very important to have this conversation. talk to the kids first and then mellody. >> the kids are out in chicago's millennium park. >> reporter: want to talk about money? is that a no? hey, do you want to talk about money? no, okay. >> and our mellody hobson is tracking them down. >> reporter: how much money is your bank.k. is a thousand dollars a lot money? what do your kids know about money? >> it's mellody's money titi. kids and money. >> reporter: will you come to my office? do you get an allowance at home. >> yes. >> reporter: you do. how much?

the rule in chicago was that you were a pastor for six years. if you do a decent job you get six more years. twelve years is considered the normal amount of time by 2002 might have been in the pastor for 21 years. the cardinal wanted him to go. he said, not through here. there is much more work to be done. the back and forth. and very hot and heavy. there were meetings, and eventually the cardinal to slap him go. legend state. and then in 2008 he was suspended after he made fun of hillary clinton. many of the rubber the famous you to comment that was on television news, particularly fox news where he was giving a sermon. he started to make fun of hillary clinton. it was about the time. he almost broke down and cried at a news conference. it was a time when people said she was putting it on. she was just -- it was a pretend cry. he got up and said, no, it wasn't pretend. she was really getting mad because she thought to herself, i am bill's wife. i have an excellent record. i am entitled to be the president. now here is this black man stealing my

there's a downtown chicago for people 16 and under. and in the book i talk about, you know, the kind of radical fashion statements that young people have in japan to separate themselves from anything that has to do -- and it's several standard deviations of beyond lady gaga. and then there's the downtown chicago for the people over 70. you know, and it's a long walking mall where all of the curbs have been smoothed, where the street is smooth, shopkeepers have been briefed in how to be patient as people recount the change. that's the only mcdonalds in japan where you can bring your own sandwich. [laughter] because if you can't let people bring their own sandwich, nobody goes. now they go and sit and sit and sit. lath lath >> this -- [laughter] >> this is what can happen. as the place shifts. it happened in japan as the same reasons elsewhere in the country that really aggressively assert that they are profamily. you know, the family means everything is is part of our values. so in east asia, in southern europe, these are the places tha

in chicago, one innovative idea is making a difference. we get our report tonight from nbc's john yang. >> reporter: in this gritty neighborhood on chicago's west side, fresh fruits and vegetables take the bus. >> what did you get today? >> i got greens. >> can you show us? >> corn. >> wow, look at those greens. >> i got a honeydew and green tomatoes. >> reporter: this bus stops here once a week. a produce market on wheels selling items often hard to come by in urban markets like this one across the country. liquor stores and convenience stores dot the streets selling processed foods that may not provide the healthiest of diets. >> what you can't afford is an affordable, quality set of fruits and vegetables in these communities 365 days a year. >> reporter: supermarkets are miles away. studies estimate that 31 million americans live in these so-called food deserts. >> residents of the food desert are more likely to die and suffer prematurely from diet related conditions such as diabetes, certain kinds of cancers actually, cardiovascular di

in 1991, i was a police officer with the university of chicago campus police. i was arrested and convicted of a sexual assault that i did not connect. i had a consensual relationship with a young lady and it was made out to be like i was criminal number one. a crooked cop. everything happened so fast. if you have a serious felony charge, people stay in the jail a year or two fighting those charges. i was arrested and tried, convicted, sentenced to prison in 4.5 months. tavis: i am trying to figure out how you think all that can happen in four months. >> a few different dynamics. the main thing was i had an incompetent defense attorney. i never been through anything like that before. neither had members of my family. i hired the first attorney whose name came up. he was incompetent. i believe that everybody in the courthouse new that he was incompetent other than me. the state attorney cleared the docket of trial. it does not happen that quickly in cook county. i was arrested november 15 and i went to trial march 3. sentenced april 2. shipped out to the penitent

in his home down of chicago last night the president celebrated his 50th birthday which is today with an elaborate campaign crowd raiser. the crowd sang happy birthday with the help of jennifer hudson and herbie hancock. spking to the crowd, the president expressed his frustration with the debt ceiling stalemate and vowed a renewed focus on job growth. >> i hope we can avoid another self-inflicted wound like we just saw over the last couple of weeks. we don't have time to play these partisan games. we've got too much work to do. over the next several months, i hope congress is focused on what the american people are focused on. making sure that the economy is growing. making sure that businesses are getting financing. making sure that young people are getting trained for the jobs of the future. >> former white house chief of staff ram hm emanuel was at the event to support his president. he was asked about a new mitt romney ad that uses chicago as a backdrop to slam the presidented on the economy. he responded saying the spot is hypocritical adding it was president obama's tough decis

why don't we start with someone who lives hero in chicago who works at chicago's american indian center. >> okay. the reason i interviewed ansel is that in my early research -- and i say research loosely. i knew so little that i was just reading anything i could. i learned about three-quarters of native people live off-reservation. and -- including a group of people generally termed urban indians. and so that quest to talk to an urban indian led me to the chicago american indian center. and to this really wonderful guy, ansel, who is a cultural coordinator there. he's a volunteer there at this point. and i'm going to read you a little bit about what he said to some second graders that he was introducing to native culture because they didn't know anything about native people either. he says, once your teachers told you you were going to come to the american indian center, how many of you expected to see an old man with long hair, probably braided, with a big head dress and saying how, kids? how many expected to see that? be truth until a few hands rose slowly. for those who raised their

thanks for being with us at the chicago cable show, 2011. the new head of the national cable television association has suggested that cable hasn't told its stories very well and how much good work it actually has done. walter cates foundation is one of those good stories. tell me what it does. >> guest: the foundation was founded over 30 years ago with the idea of increasing diversity across the entire cable industry for our work force, for our programming content, for our suppliers, and it really represents the commitment of the industry that the ceos of most of the major companies serve with our board of trustees and have allowed us over the years to create programs and activities to provide funding for be organizations within the industry to continue to advance the work of diversity across the entire industry. >> host: how does it work? give me an example of a major program that you do. >> guest: well, um, we fund leadership development programs for senior executives of women and color that are sponsored by the national association for m

i was born in chicago. my father had emigrateford iran to go to school in chicago, where he met my mother while he was attending the university of chicago. that's where i was born. after my parents had divorced, i spent most of my youth in the state of rhode island, southern rhode island, and then after i graduated high school, i went to undergraduate college in st. louis, missouri and then came out here for grad school, which fell in love with san francisco bay area. all of my plans changed and this became my home. i worked as an environmental analyst for a number of think tanks and then applied that trade in law enforcement, where i went to the san francisco police academy many, many years ago, graduated as a academy class, president of the class. trained in environmental forensics, both here locally, state and federally by the usepa in the training center in georgia and i worked for the district attorney's office in san francisco for nine years before becoming elected supervisor. >> and you spent most of

stopguard to first sure that he wasn't the lawyer for chicago? [laughter] >> i was simplifying a little bit that the delta for the original plea of chicago was a reporter for the tribune or maybe it was the times and she based it on a number of these stories like in the movie he deserved it. >> my real question was i remember reading about lieberman's book and in part of that he talks about defending the scottsboro boys and i have some memory from that something about darrow being approached first and not taking the case, and i wonder if you had anything just thoughts about that and about why. >> this happened after the trial and the naacp fellows were feeling a little cocky. when the first reports came from alabama didn't increase the case. they made a mistake and held that. they felt that perhaps a rape had occurred to they felt the defendants were ignorant farm boys showing their new york sophistication and they didn't call clarence darrow, but the attorneys from the communist party called clarence darrow and said would you defend the scottsbo

i go in a meeting in rochester or chicago. go to milwaukee. also the fearlessness of the chicago lyndon or fredericksburg. impossibly difficult challenge. i would never do that and he had the guts to do that. do you think this is an experience that has a sense of that? >> i never even thought about that. olmstead was really good friends with william jenny who was the aid to sherman when he was ulysses s. grant's something. they were trying to take vicksburg and came up with a crazy idea of crossing the mississippi river on the louisiana side and wanted to take the fortress city of vicksburg. he had this crazy idea that they should dig trenches and come up and send boats through these towns and take vicksburg from the other side when all of a sudden the union troops come from the side they weren't expected. the plan didn't work but they met during the civil war. they became friends. later, a brilliant engineer in that area if you are an engineer you could turn that into something different so he became one of the early people that built skyscra

it's like it's a mc, and we did get him down to chicago. she is living in canada now and he got him to chicago in april, and he was just thrilled to be here and see chicago, the place he worked for, for so long. >> one of the themes of the book forks those who haven't had a chance to read it, is farouk's macho persona and how he represented a lot of the men in afghanistan. >> yeah, yeah. also, he represents afghanistan. and i'm very much a foil for america, well intentioned, bumbling, no include -- no clue how to do business there, no klueh about cultural activities, and farouk is very afghanistan, hopeful at first and then convinced aam planning an exit strategy. so he likes telling people i'm a try dimensional character. i'm like, where did you get that? i'm like you're not just one ditch -- did i mentional. and he calls him the tri-dimensional character. >> you mentioned the former prime minister of pakistan who has an interesting relationship -- or had an interesting relationship with kim. he completely miss interpreted the relationship

he ultimately became one of the people to build a scrapers in chicago and olmsted went to chicago and came up with the crazy looking system. i never thought of it, but it's very possible that olmsted, inspired by chase field plan to take vicksburg from the other side what to scotland came up fairly consistent. works for me. >> great talk. he mentioned the huntington river school several times. as a painter, i am curious, what their specific locations in the park or just direct quotations from things that are known for just a general sense of space? >> well, you'll like this. olmstead -- vox rather come as a plan for central park went on, it became necessary for the original plan to build mine ridges. it got more elaborate cd32 design bridges and archways. if you like to position the archways so that it would frame would feel like hudson river view. he never made reference to literally quoting some work by church or mac into your anybody like that. he never said i am literally this. but he designed the archways so that as your wackiness of pedestrians, you walk under and archways were

so there's going to be a big gala tonight in chicago. we're hearing it will be star-studded, herby hancock might be there as well as jennifer hudson. tickets to that event will cost you about $50. there's a private gala afterwards or a dinner i should say. tickets to that, a little bit more expensive. $35,000 we are hearing. as you mentioned, we are hearing president obama kanspled about ten fund-raising events to deal with the debt ceiling debate. his last event was actually in philadelphia in july. you might remember that event. he's got some time to make up. also some money, as you might remember, he posted fund-raising earnings of $86 million in conjunction with the dnc during the spring. he's not going to raise anywhere near that this summer. summers are slower anyway. but he won't be posting earnings of that size for the summer. that's for sure. he's also gotten a little bit of criticism from republicans who say the timing is off because the unemployment is so high. well, white house officials say, look, you can get back to normal

there was panic in new york city, chicago, detroit, rich mond had a ride because all the prisoners at the state penitentiary demanded to be really stand the story went out there was a riot going on and in 10,000 people descended with guns trying to put down what they thought was the uprising. down through cuba there were flashes that came from the earthquake and the glasses were earthshaking off of the shelf. it was a huge. >> in fact, causing turmoil outside of charleston an interesting time for the earthquake to hit because it is on the cusp of maternity and they're used to having instantaneous communication through telegraphs but this new gatt the march erratic effect and then it is like geysers that shot up a few stories into the air. of the biggest pocket was around 10-mile hill where the charleston international airport is today. >> fisher's hundred its feet long were opening in the ground will road trains were toppled and made sure damage dollars over that area and not that many people killed. probably 60 some that night and the numbers are a little vague because the record nev
