dewitt least point out to them whether the building their purchasing -- to at least point out to them whether the building their purchasing is in a potential hazard zone. it not only has liquefaction, but it also has a hillside stability issues. while it may be stable sporadically, when the earthquake comes, the slopes may fail. as a minimum, they should retain the services of a geotechnical and structural engineer, and there are well qualified people who come out. i am not just talking about and inspection service, i'm talking that licensed engineer, geotechnical, to look around, look at the maps available, and write an opinion letter as to the adequacy of the structure or the soil. there is another thing to consider when you are buying and building to the east of the van ness ave. a third map. this map depicts the area of the fire that followed the 1906 earthquake. the blue is where all the buildings were destroyed or badly damaged by the fire. as a result, the ashes from those fires remained on site. in those days, lead paint was used to paint the sides of buildings. it is a known

sign it no no and i'll yell it at the president, i'll yell it at roosevelt, i'll yell it at general dewitt and it matters. it has to matter. and to me it's the speech i gave him was in part all just drawn from what's happening i think in the country right now in relationship to the war, who is considered patriotic, who is considered a traitor, and the point of a play to me is that it isn't just a museum piece, that in fact it does have relevancy right now and that it does kind of spark a certain amount of controversy in relationship to what goes on now. so that's how things that are happening in one's life feed into it. other things feed into it, too, like my wife and i have been trying to build this house in the berkeley hills for about 5 years so all of that also kind of feeds into the play even though it may not surface in the way the characters are building a house, but it may be something about money that comes up in the play but actually was drawn from our financial struggles trying to build this house in the berkley hills. but it also sort of shows you how real life intrudes into yo

los dewitt view has a problem with it, and in the meditations because you have to ask yourself well, if we are soon going to be no one and know where and everything that we do is the race and therefore nothing has any meaning of and what is the point? the only real decision you have is how to get out of this world as quickly as possible. looking at himself we felt he was a coward so again and again to answer the question comes up with to my mind is a jury on satisfying answer he just changes the question and says if i look at the world it's beautiful. there must be a designer. therefore there are some dogs who take care of us. there are no gods and we're living in meaningless existence. i am an agnostic which means i just don't know but i can live with that uncertainty. not everybody -- i mean, it is just my state of being. but people -- with this teaches us is even if marcus had to have a faith people needed faced most people cannot live with the idea that life is meaningless, that everything that we do ads of to nothing. and that brings me to the second author which i looked at in

in your last year at dewitt clinton high school, you practiced signing your name, stanley martin lieber certain that the day would come when you would write that great american novel and peel would ask for you autograph. >> reporter: but would 16-year-old stanley believe this? >> today, people do occasionally request your autograph. not for the great american novel. the name you now sign is stan lee. which you adopted legally because you were embarrassed that stanley m. lieber was writing the lowly come ix. >> you'll be shocked by how happy you can be. you need to make a decision to change. you do. why not do it sooner. happy is better than sad. >> people you don't know will come up to you and tell you how much they love you and thank you for changes their lives. >> reporter: and finally these words of advice. >> calculus, trust me, you will never use it. >> finally, someone speaks the truth. but it's really beautiful. what would you write? >> i didn't have a whole lot growing up. i just said remember that it has -- life has nothing to do -- it's not the opportunities that you're given.
