i said, "but margaret, i agreed with him." her reaction was typical but it is striking as recently as you know a group of us, henry kissinger, sam nunn, bill perry and i and many others have been working again on this effort to get to a world free of nuclear weapons. the reaction has been entirely different. much more favorable. still plenty of people are opposed but it's a different atmosphere now. but ronald reagan's ideas are often you see he's very prescient. this idea i think has staying power. sooner or later we're going to get something ... we're going to get somewhere. >> lehrer: secretary shultz, thank you very much. >> ifill: the documentary turmoil and triumph will air tonight and the next two mondays on many pbs stations. there is a book of the same name accompanying the series. >> ifill: the major developments of the day, b.p. worked to fit a tighter containment cap over the blown- out well in the gulf of mexico. somali extremists with ties to al qaeda claimed to be behind bomb attacks in uganda that killed 74 peo

as margaret said, in 1949 we came to the south bronx, which was an irish neighborhood, mostly. i was sort of a spaced-out kid, destined obviously to be a poet. i was this big at 13 and i was a good rollerskater and the kids were amazed and they befriended me. after a while, they recognized that i had some sort of athletic ability and because i was so spaced out, they mistook it for great courage and if they pushed me, i pushed them back. it was just like a game. so they took to me and asked me to join the shamrocks. i even changed my name from ed vega to ed mcveigh. and this is how they passed me off because most of the teams they played were other irish kids. this was a regular football team so, consequently, they listed me as eddie mcveigh. it was great fun and my friends were jimmy flynn, paddy o'connor. my siblings married the shenny's and i almost married a catherine finerin but it didn't work out. i have a nephew, sean patrick mcflynn. i always question myself because my writing about the irish is really my writing about myself coming to the united states and coming into

the third part is in response to the op ed piece that margaret mcpeek wrote in the chronicle and the letters, i don't know if you've read them -- you should pick up -- the letters that a couple of, you know, irish americans wrote in response accusing cousin mcpeek of not having a sense of humor. it has to do with these tee shirts that target has produced for the st. patrick's day parade in which mrs. mcpeek derided the fact that they were making fun of the irish in the united states, you know, things like i survived the kelly murphy family gathering, things like that. and they wrote letters poking fun at what i thought was a couragous op ed piece. so this is in response to the irish americans who don't feel the pride that they should. and please excuse if i manhandle the irish manner of speaking. this is a joke told to me by one of my friends. he said that an american, an irish american, was golfing with his wife on a weekend. and he hit the ball into the rough. went looking for it. all of a sudden, a leprechaun jumped up. we're back to the leprechaun theme. he said, top of the morni

. >> maffers, my nime is -- >> supervisors, my name is margaret campbell. there are similar sites that deal with steep terrains. how we're dealing with this at hunters view is how we're dealing with this at potrero. to the extent possible we are creating a street grid that will feel more like a typical san francisco neighborhood. where we can't connect those streets because there are buildings on the site, we are creating pedestrian kecks, and where -- a lot of those pedestrian connections are already there, but they are a little more informal. we are formalizing them. we are making them safe. we have the lighting. and we will also be maintaining them. chair maxwell: and i think for those of us who -- i mean, san francisco is built on hills. we are used to that terrain. i keep hearing it, but that should not be any -- i don't think that should be a deterrent to connecting streets. we managed to do it on lump barred and all the other streets. here it has been, no excuses, get it done. that's what architects and designing is about, finding out a way, planning

mary margaret from radar online. first of all, thanks for providing that new tape. the tone seems different. in some of the other tapes we've heard an exasperated mel gibson. some questions whether he was drunk, this sounded like a calmer but equally abrasive mel gibson. do you agree? >> i do agree. at the same time it's still menacing. there's that undertone of threat. a part of a 30-minute audiotape struck from what seems like different conversations, throughout it, regardless whether the tone is loud or measured. there's that menacing undercurrent. he makes threats not to oksana but various demographics. >> so many people have questions about the tape. what can you tell us about the sourcing? did you pay for the tapes? >> without getting into knitty gritty of the negotiations with the confidential source so it doesn't stray from the issue here. i will say that a confidential source gave us the audiotape. as we said publicly it was not given to us by oksana herself. through old-fashioned investigative journalism. we authenticated the female voice is oksana and the

in 2002 through the university of washington through richard palmer and margaret hahn, i won't go over that now dash maybe later. next slide. a couple mayor studies we conducted is a reduction of our snow pact. the bowling watershed is not a rich environment. we do regularly get snow fall and our highest elevation in there is about 2500 feet. what we do have is a dotted line showing our regular run off of the streams in the and the dark line shows projected what would happen without the snow fall. it's not particularly significant for our municipal supply. one of these reasons is for the late spring rain period. what we typically see is the snow fall that does shed is scoured out in late april and may site has a much bigger impact on our fish flows potentially. another thing the palmer study gave us was effect on our projected demand. you can see the higher line represents what we think would happen based on the climate change effect and that's 8 percent bump over norms in 2040. so a climate change enhanced version. the footnotes of this slide is since we conducted this study and this

margaret thatcher it is there is no alternative. of course that's absurd. there was an alternative. we have to connect the dots to understand what is going on today. i read the chronicle. so what i've done is put together a montage of the murder of public sector, which is going on everyday. in fact all of the public sector is in body shape. public libraries, parks from the municipal to the national level. our character is among the worst in the world. the new deal deals with things in a different way. when i was going to school, california school's were the best. now they are among the worst with the new budget cuts. of course, my university is being privatized. all of the higher education is being privatized. all through the uc system. how do you run a modern state with tax cuts? we resort to desperate, back last november, we were asked to vote to make four indian casinos in san diego county pony up money. i thought this was a joke. they voted to do it. now, the governor proposes to borrow against future revenues. how did they deal with these social problems when the economic probl
