the masonic temple, which is on a hill, was -- you could barely make it out. you could barely make out the outline of it. and also driving around the city was very treacherous in these conditions. fortunately, most people stayed off the streets. there were very few people out. we've been out here for six hours. since the wind ceased and i'd say that's about an hour ago and the snow stopped and it seems like conditions are starting to improve, we've seen more and more people come out on the streets and they're shopping. you can see people walking up and down the sidewalks as you see snow being removed down the street. so it looks like there are signs of life here as people are slowly getting out. but i think there's a lot of respect for the crews that have to come out and do their job, respect for snow removal and things like that. oh, look at this. can you stop a moment? this is really cute. can you turn around and show this? what were you doing today that made you come out? >> i actually opened my store today. i was walking home with the dog and he can't walk

that would be perry mason. [laughter] you see, growing up i thought defense attorneys wrote the white horses and were the white hats. you do end --. [laughter] and i thought that all the best things in the criminal justice system or because of a defense attorney and that defense attorneys could right the wrongs and make our system of justice better. so when i was in law school and after i graduated, i started out as a defense attorney. and maybe we should require that for all prosecutors. [applause] i think it makes a difference and i grew up not only with perry but believing as sir william blackstone said, it is better to set to attend a guilty man free than to convict one innocent person. and isn't that what our system of justice is based on? presumption of innocence, burden of proof, proof beyond a reasonable doubt? and how can you have a system of justice that does not work -- let me put it this way, how are you going to pull those principles of you don't have an effective defense attorney? it's impossible.

city and on a the city council in the city of fairfax and as you know the city of fairfax and george mason university to release sponsor of all for the program which is in its 11th year. so as we enter in the second decade it's important to know the origin of the fall for the program. 11 years ago then the mayor of the fairfax, john mason, sat down with bill miller and asked, what could we do to strengthen the ties between the city and university? in and out of those conversations through the fall for the book program which has grown both in quality and quantity of scope and breadth of its programs over the last decade. and our speakers today following that fine tradition of high quality scholarship, i would also noted that the relationship between the city of fairfax and the university goes back to its very moment of creation because the city of fairfax actually gave the land in the initial acreage of the land which became george mason university so we have over the years tried to foster a close relationship between the two institutions. today's event is sponsored by the gale said engage

father of the country and jefferson's father of the declaration and later on you'll have madison and mason and important leaders in other political areas. you know, virginia did produce some great leaders, for sure. >> what does everyday virginiaian think about the british and the revolution? >> it begins. you are going to have some support, it wasn't so great here in virginia as maybe in new york and that what i focus a lot. as you see the whole dispute develop. more and more everyday virginians buy into what their leaders are saying. their rights are threatened and they may become absolute slaves to the people and you read about virginians. we're at a disadvantage. we're always at a disadvantage as reachers. there's not a whole with lot of material of everyday virginians. that's difficult. almost every book you read about was going to be bias towards the elite or upper class, the leaders. that's enough out there still in diaries and letters that you get an idea. it shows to some degree they are on the same page as our leaders. they bought into the rhetoric, so to speak, in my opinion at

baltimore, even all the way to the mason dixon line, 20 to 30 inches. further south, 12 to 20 is a good call. i'm telling you, we're going to see some sleet and rain mixed in in st. mary's county, six to 12 across the delmarva. fredericksburg two inches. you could be in danger of flipping over to some sleet and rain a little later on tonight. hagerstown only two inches, but romney, man you guys get hammered, 10 inches in romney, west virginia. dangerous super storm. six to 12 between now and midnight. six to eight between midnight and 6:00 a.m., then it starts to pull away from the coast. so in the morning, maybe two to four, in the afternoon, maybe one to two. but near blizzard conditions tonight, and that is a huge deal for us. it doesn't happen too often. the criteria is the 12 to 18- hour period where you need visibility one quarter of a mile or less for three hours or longer, and sustained winds at 35 miles per hour or frequent gusts to 35 miles per hour. so doesn't technically have to be snow. it's just visibility and also wind, and i think we're

our economics editor paul mason reports. >> when investment banks were dropping like flies in 2008, goldman sachs survived. that was fundamentally because it had made the right call at a crucial moment in the property bubble and got out. paradoxically, it's been the recovery that's been the hard port for goldman. it's now fighting a reputational dirt storm with dirt being thrown from every angle. >> like all surviving wall street banks, goldman is making megaprofits and paying megabonuses essentially out of the free money being dolled out by sendral banks across the world. already in the spotlight for its role in the financial crisis it's now in the spotlight for its role in the greek sovereign debt crisis. and goldman is not a bank that likes the spotlight. when "news night" asked for an interview with the chairman, we were toled told there was a greater chance of the earth crashing into the sun. so it was left to m.p.'s to dot questioning. -- do the questioning. >> why such a bad feeling then in the public's mind of goldman sacks? why do you think that is? >> i think -- first of all, i do

we're on the end near the masonic temple, near the king street metro stop, which is normally so busy. just chalk full of people. today you can take a look, just empty. i want to call your attention to one thing. take a look. we're seeing pavement for the very first time. about a half hour ago, alexandria must have decided to start plowing and salting and sanding its roads again because some giant snow plows have come right down king street and they're really starting to clear away this now. as i said earlier in the last hour, it feels like things are clearing. we're really not getting any accumulation of snow, b we are getting a lot of blowing winds. let's look at the buildings. you can see the -- the wind gusts, shoveling the snow around, blowing the snow around. it's -- in more dramatic faction than that video appears. you really feel the full force of it. it's got to be coming at about 20 to 30 miles an hour at least. and, dan, look over here. dan buckley, my photographer. here's an enterprising soul. maybe this is a sign that the storm is over. we've got someone coming down king s

another thing, old town alexandria, that is the masonic temple. it cannot really see it right now because of the snow. when the first snowflakes began falling, people hit the metro and the bus. government offices it and schools closed early, making the lunch hour look more like rush- hour in alexandria. when people in his office could go, most left. what did they say? >> the office disbursed. >> some commuters say the wait for trains started stacking up. the delay at shady grove on the red line may be the worst, an extra 20 minutes. not everybody was running away from the city. jan green took her out of town company before being stopped at home. >> it is like when you get off for school for a snow day when you are a kid. >> trains have been coming and going. the cab stand has been very busy. if you are taking a cab, add another $5 because of the weather. more people are waiting for buses, still making their way home. metro will decide when to shut down some of the trains. they say 8 inches or higher in snow, that is when the above ground trains li
