i went to manhattan in the fall of 2005 and the big boss of the whole group, nancy shepherd and carlinin publicity. we met in a little room and i stated my case and they said, this is your first book so you need to listen to a few things here. first of all only 12 percent of nonfiction books make a profit and 2/3 are pre chosen by the publisher. we'd like to put our marketing arm behind us but your having to fight tear riz m to this. since i grew up in africa and worked pakistan for many years you never settle a deal without driving a hard bargain so i said if the hard cover doesn't do well, i'd like the subtitle changed later on for the paper back. julia and our other board relently pounded away month after month. i was in pakistan of december of 2006 and there was a new editor on the book and they said they decided to change the title to one man's mission to promote peace. the hard cover didn't do that well. sold 20,000 copies. while the paper back came out on january 30th of this year and since out it's been on the new york times best seller selling over 700,000 copies now. and it's

that's another thing they really objected to in manhattan. said you can't start a book with the word failure. at least i won that argument. i said you know, our success is originally based in failure and you know what? all of us make mistakes and all of us sometimes fail. sometimes with relationships or investments or fail with jobs. um... i flunked my first driving test when i was 16 and totald the car while parallel parking and some student wills not get into college. really when you fail it's not the end of the road. it's more of an opportunity and away to find a different path. when i come to those moments in life, i think of the perz yen proverb that says when it's dark you can see the star. for those of you that have been there, i failed get a really good sunset picture on,k 2. this is actually a volcano in mexico but i love this climbing photo to end the climing sequence. so, here's our dirt bag climbers. done with the climb and it's time for me to head back to berkley. i was very weak and fortunately, we were still alive. that year fi

the award winning director of such films as network and night falls on manhattan has died.ily confirmed he died this morning at his manhattan home. 86 years old and had suffered from lymphoma. he moved to new york city as a child. the city became the setting in more than 30 of his films. he survived by his fourth wife and other family members. >>> it is the most intensive crackdown on distracted driving in the bay area. and in just the first two days of the campaign nearly 1000 tickets were written. highway patrol officers say they wrote more tickets monday and tuesday in the bay area than they usually write across the entire state. san jose follows that county. the price of a ticket $260. more than 250 police agencies are taking part in the not worth the risk campaign getting people to put down the phone and drive. >>> it may come as no surprise for those who drive it but highway 4 ranks amongst the most congested. it runs into solano county. the worst is weekday mornings. most congested commute corridor and ranks 27th in the nation according to a traffic data tracking fir

today, we know it as manhattan in the city of new york. i took a walk around manhattan's south street seaport with historian michael lord. it wound up being a trip into the past. so what was the beginning of commerce here in new york? >> well, i guess commerce would probably even predate hudson, if you're talking about native americans trading with one another. they had a tremendous number of animal pelts. they had lumber. this place was loaded with woods. >> while native americans are rich in resources, europeans have depleted much of theirs, including animals used for clothing. >> europeans had no more beavers, because they had already trapped them and all their lumber was diminishing. so all of that lumber, all of those beaver pelts, begin to be shipped over to amsterdam. beaver pelts would become very fancy hats, water proof hats. that was the bling-bling of its day. lumber went to making the masts for sails, and those masts for sailing ships then all of a sudden became sailing ships that came back over here to pick up more goods. >> e

one interesting thing that they do is that they use -- this is utilized a lot in manhattan. they return water back as it condenses and they get a credit. this is something that we have to look at because it has been very effective in manhattan where you can have a central site to use that heating particularly in our mild climate. this is an efficient way to do things and there might be a future for that. i was impressed by the building and they started on their second phase. i also had a meeting on tuesday night with the neighbors and the project sponsors for a project that i believe is before us next week which is going to be proposed for valencia st.. it was good to see everyone getting together and answering the questions ahead of time that were raised. maybe we can do more of that in the future. i hope that this will be beneficial. we had a meeting with the parties involved and i think it was quite successful. i would like to ask for a hearing on parking in san francisco. this is a writer -- a rather large issue. we need something well in advance so the public can be awa

it was started in the second world war part of the manhattan project to make iranian for the bonds. it is known for that. today it is known for continuing the research and innovation

manhattan and then after the civil war in brooklyn at a time when harlem was a mere village. they were part of new york's small but significant community and specifically its elite class so, the first in polls for my writing the book was my desire to overturn these assumptions, assumptions that we live with almost on a daily basis. therefore to point to the significance of the black elite in new york city. so it was a professional and polls, if you will. the second boat is from the epigraph of the prologue. it is from toni morrison's beloved. denver was seeing it now and feeling it. the more fine point she made the more details provided the more beloved elected. so she anticipated the questions by giving blood to the scraps of her mother and grandmother told. denver spoke, beloved listened. the two did the best they could

this happened in newburgh, new york, about 60 miles from our studios in manhattan. we have the report. >> reporter: on the banks of the hudson river, a memorial and a prayer for three young children who lost their lives in this murky water. distraught relatives leaving toys for children who will never play again. police say tuesday evening, 25-year-old lashandra armstrong loaded all four of her children into a minivan before driving down a boat ramp and into the river, killing herself, her 5-year-old landon, 2-year-old lance, and 11-month-old lainaina. their bodies discovered in the van under 8 feet of water. >> i don't think to the degree in which we're dealing with the situation today, could it be more tragic. >> reporter: but the oldest child lashaun, survived. the 10-year-old boy was in the van as it started to sink but managed a frantic escape, lowering the power window and fleeing before the van submerged. he then swam to shore in 40 degree temperatures, climbed the banks and flagged a passing motorist. >> he was obviously shaken up, having a difficult time tr

he took the subway to downtown manhattan.it is hard to imagine a goldman partner taking the subway now, but he was a senior partner, and on the subway, he came up with who should be the treasury secretary during the eisenhower administration, and eisenhower had never heard of him, and he got the job, and he was a good secretary. paulsonn, corzine, and all went into government service, and part of the reason is they believe in it and they may get a priority, and you have your time at goldman sachs. you have your time making millions of dollars, and then they want you up, and they want you out. most of the guys are sort of forced out after a period of time, which may be one of the reasons lloyd blankfein is talking about leaving, and then they want to give something back, some talking about philanthropy. if you want to be the secretary of treasury, guess what, you do it. it is not something you campaign for, but if you get asked, you do it. tavis: last year at goldman sachs? >> i do not think if we can count that high. they gav

it was down here in lower manhattan and is now up in harlem. so the third circle, um, is that of gotham, and this is where i'm going to spend the rest of my time talking. um, and i have a section in my book titled distance and proximity because what i want to point out is no matter how distant black new yorkers were from their white counterparts, either poor, native-born irish immigrants, german immigrants or even wealthier whites, um, they were never, there was still proximity. because they lived downtown in racially-mixed neighborhoods, um, in ward four and ward fife fife -- ward five and ward six and ward eight. they were always close to others, people who were not like them. not necessarily in the same house or the same tenement, but maybe tenements on the street or at least block to block. and what this led to were some really surprising, to me surprising -- and to them also -- unpredictable contacts with whites. and i'm just going to mention a couple of things, um, that i talk about and that i think are, make point. the first is all new y
