( laughing ) and luckily, you know, i think any young writer gets very precious about their material, but since it had... i'd had two year's distance on it i was like, "well, those are good ideas; what else do you have?" and that was the beginning of the process. >> hinojosa: the ability, though, to trust broadway to take this show-- well, off-broadway at first, right? >> oh, well, before that a basement in a bookshop. i mean, that's where.. >> hinojosa: that you would go to after... >> ...that's where tommy kail and i met. i mean, there were... it was literally a storeroom that they converted into a black box theater. it was being painted when we met in that basement. so this was not, "trust me to take it to broadway," this was, "i have some good ideas on how to make show better," and that's the mindset we always tried to stay in

learning how exactly osama bin laden, once the most wanted man in the world and apparently a prolific e-mailer, managed to stay ahead of the u.s. government for so long. the associated press reports although he didn't have a phone or internet access in his hideout, bin laden managed to stay in touch with his contacts by giving a courier e-mail messages on a flash drive. the courier would then go to a distant internet cafe to send and receive bin laden's messages. navy s.e.a.l.s hauled away about 100 of those memory drives. the electronic records may contain hundreds of e-mail addresses leading investigators to others. >> reporter: senior u.s. military and intelligence officials tell nbc news from inside his hideout, bin laden was fully engaged to carry out other 9/11-style attacks. describing him as a micromanager and meticulous note taker, he used his compound for command and control of al qaeda, compiling plans for new attacks. >> he mentions the big cities, he mentions certain important dates, for example, the 10-year anniversary of 9/11, which is coming up. he mentioned transportation, avi

not only was bin laden a meticulous note taker, he was also, apparently, an avail e-mailer, despite having no internet connection. according to the associated press, he had an elaborate system in which a courier would send and receive messages by copying them onto a flash drive and sending them from different addresses. then, there's the question of u.s. access to osama bin laden's wives, who have been in pakistani custody since the raid. but the government was finally granted access to three of the wives this week. the women were said to be hostile toward their interrogators. today, the first revenge attack for bin laden's death killed at least 80 recruits outside a military training center in pakistan, which has received funding for the u.s. a spokesman for the pakistani taliban took correct, saying they will target any ally of the united states. u.s. officials continue to mine the cache of information from the hideout. and, as for the now famous s.e.a.l. team six? there is growing concern that the names of the s.e.a.l.s will be revealed. the u.s. government believes there are publicatio

we have tried that some of the bay mailers keep their this counts -- discounts. the men and women of the unit are concerned about as office and want to help but be a viable institution, and they overwhelmingly voted to do those things. >> mr. strong? >> i had a privilege of being on a panel of a couple of weeks ago, i talk about the complexity of the back end of the post office, the baltic area, and is a complex operation. we have to reduce the complexity and make it easier for occasional users to get mail into the system. one of the things that was brought was the fact we also have to look retail services. sometimes it can be a struggle, not only for the customer to understand, but for the retell associates. we have to reduce the complexity of the retail operation. we have an outreach program where we have carriers involved, the postmaster involved, and it is a business connect, customer connect, and rural outreach. because investors are great salesman. we need to get them into the field and sell the products we have. we need to get of the time behind the desk t

the proposed legislation with the opportunity for citizens, mailers, competitors and other parties to octane information from the postal service and test the service resumptions. as a result the commission would be able to produce its opinion more promptly. however the detailed analysis and extensive outreach of the recent advisory opinion on the five day delivery would not have been possible in the 90 case. the commission hasn't conclude what is the 90 day limit. the postal service is also advised in the near future the plans to request an advisory opinion related to the closing of the large number of post offices nationwide. the commission understands the postal service need to address the network to the changing demand and its evolving capability. however the requirement of effective postal customers be properly notified and evolved when the postal service considers closing the retail office they depend on to read the postal service proposed revisions to the rules for closing the consolidating retail facilities. the commission provided its comments to the postal service including r

research service for eight years and at the time of the postal reform bill 206, sharp division between mailers' union, employees, executive branch, it was a challenge to steer between all of those but i don't think anyone was able to say i was on one side or the other and had more credibility in debate or declared opinion. >> do you want to address this? okay. in that case, i have a different one as well. we have seen the retirement and moving on of a number of senior staff. when i was there, i found working with morgan and johnny killian and others to be invaluable. the expertise and the breadth of knowledge they brought to the issues was tremendously useful. what we're seeing now and we talked about earlier is these types of positions are being filled by administrative folks as opposed to analytical folks. so these people who are running the office as opposed to the people who are doing high-level policy, you touched on this a little bit. the want to extend on the effects of that? >> to meet the question is what does congress want? does congress just want ammunition in support of position it

there was the time of the postal reform bill and there were very sharp divisions between mailers communions, the executive branch, executive -- legislative branch, and it is a challenge to steer between them, but i do not think anyone was available to say that i was on one side or another, and therefore i have much more credibility in the debate. >> does anyone else want to address this? in that case, i have a different one, as well. we have seen the retirement and a moving on the number of senior staff. when i was there, i found working with morgan, johnny, and others to be invaluable. the expertise, the breadth of knowledge that they brought to these issues was tremendously useful, but what we're seeing now, and we mentioned this earlier, but what we're seeing now is that these types of positions are being filled by administrative people as opposed to and local people. those running the offices as opposed to those better during the high-level policy work. can you touch on this a little and expand on this, steve, the effect that seems to be how -- seems to be having? >> to me, the fundamen
