it was a border state, but we had a very good editor, coleman harwell. we had a previous editor, jennings perry, editor of the editorial page, who had led a fight against the poll tax in tennessee which allowed black people in tennessee to vote, which changed the dynamic of the state completely and gave that state estes kefauver and the senior albert gore, two senators who did not vote for civil rights bills. and that sense that we would stand apart from conventional racist attitudes, that we would be willing to be unpopular and stand-- and fight off social ostracism, which was a very powerful thing in the south, and most editors in mississippi and alabama and georgia and the deep south gave into it. you have to understand that places like mississippi and alabama in those days were soft police states. they really were. so that if you were a politician or an editor or a minister who went against the regular attitude on race, if you sort of said the supreme court decision on brown was right, they would drive you out of the state either by fear, by cutting

do this together, there will not be a political fallout, but senators sununu, gordon smith, norm coleman might disagree with you. you yourself had ads against you for taking a lead role before. how is the environment different today? >> i have been talking about entitlement reform, and i think the 1983-1984 elections are pretty close analogy to what we are in the process of considering here. there was entitled reform. it could clearly have been argued that it impacted benefits because this jury -- the social security age went up under that agreement over time. no question it impacted beneficiaries long-term -- not short term, but long term. i think that is a clear analogy to what we are involved in right now, which is an immediate financial meltdown, which is what we were confronted with in 2008. >> do you believe the defense of military -- the defense of marriage act applies to the military across the board? >> i supported the defense of marriage act. i have not given any thought to the question you ask, so i will not respond. >> i am wondering why you voted for the rand paul budget. >>

i had a chance to meet with members of coleman advocates. they told me a serious story about low income youth in the city. there is about 900 kids, primarily african-american and hispanic, low-income, the dots -- that got f grades and were not going to graduate unless they went to summer school. he no state law is to have to pass those glasses to graduates -- classes to graduate. you're going to see a whole generation of low-income kids not graduate from high school. knowing there is in the generation of kids who will not graduate, who will be idled, will not have anything to do, they're not willing to find jobs. guess what? they are going to be on our streets. they are going to be in trouble. so, we costed that out to the tune of $200,000 in the summer. within days, we found that money. i said, i am not going to suffer another generation of kids walking our streets. we were able to do that because of the commitment to our city has to low-income kids. that has to be another example, not only that we managed the city with the best of our brai

evan coleman is an nbc news terrorism analyst and joins me here on this set. 50 good morning to you. >> good morning. >> why release this potentially -- well, it could be inflammatory new video, anything with osama bin laden, given stephanie gosk's description right there, people and what you know about them, why release video at all? >> there's three primary reasons i think. first of all, the united states wants to show the world that osama bin laden really was in this compound. al qaeda may have issued a statement acknowledging this, the taliban may have issued a statement acknowledging this. let's face it, there are conspiracy theorists that won't believe any of this, will refuse to believe this. it gets harder and harder when you see the real evidence, especially video evidence, right? >> right. >> there are other reasons. when you look back to zarqawi, he appeared in a video. he fired an american machine gun. very shortly thereafter, the pentagon released footage they seeds from a compound where it showed the outtakes from this. the outtakes showed a much, much different image.

i'm nina coleman. dear commissioners, i love my neighborhood. and the last thing we need in our community is a fast food joint masker masquerading as a healthy family restaurant. i don't feel that pollo campero has tried to be a good neighbor and didn't follow the planning commission's recommendation to reach out to the community until days before the upcoming hearing. i have a hard time believing they will be more responsive to any of our future concerns. given the history, i don't trust them to keep their word or keep the facility as know impact as possible to the neighborhood. the latest plan seem to be a quick fix. it could turn out to be a poorly constructed backyard shed that will pollute our backyard. please protect our small piece of paradise where my daughter explores plants planted over a century ago and can spend quiet time with the neighbor's dog and cats. thank you for your time. president olague: thank you. >> i am katherine doss and i would like to stress that having a business at 2740 mission street is a good neighbor that benefi

so i went to ask you, miss coleman, what has changed since your time? and, bryonn, after that, what has not changed? when you listen to this story 44 years later for what you sat down and fought for, what has changed? >> well, that is a difficult question. i have to say, depending on what part of the country you come from -- when i have visited and montgomery, people ask, what did they get out of the civil rights movement? one thing. the street that i lived on, instead of calling it east dixie drive, they called it claudia colvin drive. [applause] that is one thing that has changed. and in my memory -- -- montgomery -- [laughter] in montgomery, you had to go through the back entrance. now you can go through the front. and they took down all the signs. my sisters even said, you know, we have that cosmetic change that you see on tv. she said, before you could not go into the department store to try on hats. now you can go into the department store and they have malls and they have expanded it and everything. so that has changed. and the attitude of white

coleman nod and which banks will be lending and lending institutions will support lending on homes and that is not against this project but speaks to the reality of living in san francisco. i am only kind of supporting a more in-depth discussion and helping us clarify that and will address the larger issue of building housing, market rate, as well as affordable housing in san francisco. i would like to continue to discussion and have the department more informed about where this is going. >> commissioner borden? commissioner borden: i am for this project and i think it's a good project but want to piggyback what would be interesting in the hearing is two things and that would be useful to know and a lot of parts in the u.s. with single-family homes, the average home size is 1600 square feet and we are not talking about huge places and think even though they have a different column, the average house size in the u.s. is not as big as we think unless you go to the megamcmansion areas. we will probably be surprised to know what the square footage is and to see that data from san francisco

coleman advocates had an event at city hall and most of my colleagues were there to help celebrate. secondly, i did attend the sfusd community budget meeting on may 5 and i want to thank staff members nancy wo mack, rita notavan and nancy anderson for being there. it was a small but committed group and i wanted to remind our families and stakeholders that additional community budget meetings will be held on may 12, 6:00 to 7:30 at james lake middle school and may 25th, 6:30 to 8:00 at jefferson elementary school where you can sort of begin to understand the full weight of the budget crisis that we're in. just two other announcements. the northern japan earthquake relief fund administered by the japanese culture and community center has reached $2.5 million in donations. so we want to thank the community for supporting that grass roots effort. and then finally, on this past weekend, the san francisco dental society announced the winners of the children's dental poster contest and this year there was quite a strong representation from our public schools. it also reaches out to our pri

and finally we had a presentation from coleman advocates on the kinds of sore spoers that really need to be in place to -- kinds of support that really need to be in place to our students wesm did have some disappointing numbers from the first semester from students who didn't pass core courses. this is the first year that we were checting them to -- [inaudible] that was a good presentation. we also had a very interesting presentation on identifying -- on identifying students who are at risk for dropping out. there are some very specific numbers that the board were provided on eighth graders who if they have an attendance record of less than 87.5% of the time or have failed a core course in the eighth grade, they're far more likely to drop out later. and so we've identified 182, i believe it is, aggete graders who now that they're moving to high school, we know who they are, we know that they're at risk and we can follow these students and support them better. so i found that data really interesting and i don't know was it provided to the rest of the board? or could we provide that to

>> reporter: supplement expert ellen coleman says if you wear pants or patches the only thinning will. >> weight loss patches or dietary supplements, the companies do not have to prove the compounds in the weight loss patches are being absorbed. >> reporter: regarded as dietary supplements, these products include caffeine and hoodia with intention of being absorbed through your skin which coleman says remains unproven. >> the doses of caffeine you would have to use to increase metabolic rate would be huge. and there's no evidence that either garcinia or hoodia promote weight loss even if you take them by mouth. >> reporter: but lytess, the company that makes the pants, cites a study where testers lost weight after wearing them for a month. >> i looked for the published research demonstrating that and found that the company had volunteers wear the shorts and did these measurements before and after 28 days. these results have not been published anywhere. >> reporter: the best advice? read the fine print. >> all of these products also make the claim that -- this product works best when c

kurt suzuki against louis coleman in the 9th.wo out of three in kansas city with the 5-2 win. they are tied with texas two games back of the division leading angels and on to texas for the first of three tomorrow night. the rangers will be smarter from a 12-5 pounding administered by the yankees today. derek jeter had gone 62 games without hitting a home run. this game he hit a pair of them. in fact he had a four-hit day and raised his average by 20 points to 276. this was in all likelihood the ends of an era for the los angeles lakers and very classy coach. too bad part of his team didn't allow him to go out that way. kobe bryant and l.a. on the verge of elimination today by the mavericks. mavs jumped out on fire. jason terry making three of six three point attempts in the half. at the break the lakers found themselves trailing 63-39. here is how bad things were going for l.a. derek fisher with a steal. ron artest can't get over the rim for a dunk. artest later called for a foul on the play. terry kept up the three-point barrage

well, for more on that, let's bring in evan coleman, nbc news terrorism analyst and steve clemens, seniordation. great to have both of you here. let me start with you, evan. these smaller strikes, god, they seem like such better ways to go than gigantic wars to the naked eye. that's certainly what it appears like in our recent experience. am i missing something? >> well, we have to be careful. first of all, regardless of what you think about the u.s. presence in afghanistan, i think you have to be realistic that the only way you put pressure on al qaeda and get them to confine themselves in a small area is by occupying the other part of that area. if we weren't in afghanistan right now, bin laden and his entourage would probably by in afghanistan somewhere, maybe in a cave, maybe in a mansion, about you they would have other place toss flee to. we eliminated the number of possible sanctuaries they could take. this operation was successful, a great victory, but these kind of operations carry with them very serious intended risks. let's not forget that one of the helicopters had crashed. ha

evan coleman is nbc's terrorism analyst and joins me now.about how involved osama bin laden actually was in these day-to-day operations? >> well, there were these popular means out there that bin laden was hiding in a cave and that he had no contact with other al qaeda operatives or al qaeda leaders and that all of al qaeda's operations were being taken care of by lower level figures, and in reality that's not what was happening. bin laden continued to play an operational role according to the information that's been discovered even up to the last couple days. he wasn't planning out this person should board this flight or that flight. he may not have known the names of the operatives but he had an idea about what these people were going to do, and, in fact, what's most interesting is he was coming up with ideas that they should do, ideas for spectacular terrorist plots that al qaeda could engage in thatco arranging the minute details. he was still familiar with the idea of attacks against the united states and was spurring those attacks. >>
