i personally would like to nominate ankus mccarthy --angus mccarthy. i believe we have a lot of work to do in areas that his experience and expertise are helpful. just as i did a couple of years ago, when i supported commissioner murphy for the presidency, i believe that the contractors seat is the best person to lead the commission at this time still. i will tell you why -- our department is running well. the areas that needed improving our improving, but there is still a lot to do. in my belief, commissioner mccarty as a home builder, contractor, small businessmen, has the most experience in the category of getting permits and inspections for construction projects. i will tell you why we need to continue with that -- because we not only need to make things better for the regular customers -- talking about architects, engineers, contractors -- talking about the everyday folks, homeowners that may only come to the department once in a lifetime. i want to share an experience with you that i had over the weekend. i think i mentioned it to one or two comm

president mccarthy. >> yes.

mcgovern was on board, but mccarthy hes state mccarthy hesitated. >> mccarthy told me in early august prior to the convention that he would be able to come out for me somewhere around the middle of september. after all, gene and i myself had had a rather long friendship, and we were hoping that friendship could survive. >> time was running out, and the only way that humphrey could avoid violence in chicago was to bring together johnson and the anti-war democrats. with only days remaining until the convention, humphrey and nixon were invited to the lbj ranch. while nixon's visit was well publicized, johnson forbid humphrey to tell the press. humphrey took the opportunity to present johnson with his own proposal to end the war and unite the party. >> i discussed with him the necessity of phasing out, reducing our commitments, reducing our forces, reducing our bombing, and leaving the struggle to the people in vietnam themselves and trying to negotiate our way out of it. he frankly was furious with me. i remember what he said, he said, you know, i have two son-in-laws over there. and you

commissioner mccarthy: questions? >> i just had a question about some of the open position that we cannot hire for because of either the testing or the backlogs in human resources. have we moved on bringing back some retirees under prop f, especially for the permit approval area, and i know there is a backlog in some of our data entry -- i know we're trying to update records and there is a huge amount of files under the old system that need to be entered. >> so, i will kind of address the first question about the testing and how it has been a debacle to hire a lot of our positions, especially the clerks. -- hallett has been difficult to hire a lot of our positions. we will get results at the end of this mnning of next month. many existing employees took the test, and we're optimistic that they will be placed on at the list in an area -- if you want to talk about four tiles on the list that we can actually reach to. those are pretty confident that we will be able to get that done, hopefully in april. because those are

have been highly effective at organizing a movement of concerned parents. >> hi, i'm jenny mccarthy. i am here today to beg you guys... >> narrator: the science that gave the movement its originalw impetus was a 1998 article by british gastroenterologist andrew wakefield in the medical journal the "lancet." he reported on 12 children with gastrointestinal problems, eight of whom developed symptoms of autism following an mmr shot. wakefield's theory was that the measles vaccine inflamed the intestines, causing harmful proteins to leak into the bloodstream, eventually damaging the brain and causing autism. >> measles, mumps and rubella, given together, may be too much for the immune system of some children to handle. clearly for the vast majority, it is protective. and we must emphasize that it is just a small cohort of children- - we don't know how large-- but who have appeared to have developed a syndrome. >> we don't want your dna. >> narrator: news of wakefield's provocative "lancet" article spread across the world, creating fear that measles shots might cause autism. >> there was

i would like to end the meeting in honor of margaret peggy mccarthy. she was loved by many. she was raised in the outer district by her parents, both from ireland. she attended star of the sea elementary district -- elementary an. their story began at the krb dance hall and there were married. their children, julie, cathy, and brian. she took great pride in her grandchildren. while being a devoted mother and fireman's wife, she worked for san francisco unified school district for over 26 years. she ended her career at san francisco city college's counseling office. she was a member of the hibernian st. francis district, division 1 and the united irish cultural center. she proudly donned a pink coat for over 20 years as a whole series bollinger. sh-- volunteer. as a catholic, her spirituality and devotion served for all her life. starting each day with a rosary and finishing each day with a glass of pinot noir. she loved a bergen and was a tenacious center -- shopper. she will be remembered by her straightforward character. her ability to always speak her mind and her no-nons

mccarthy. it is a good day to be here to ask you to put this at the top of your agenda. and i know what you were mentioning earlier, code enforcement, this comes from the building. there will be lots of building done on bayview as soon as this building is addressed. thank you for your attention to it. take a good morning. -- >> good morning. i am a new affordable house owner. i live third street on the bayview, just across from the structure that my friend just talked about. because of this eyesore, it is a cover for criminal activity. the police cannot see behind it. people go and feel free to commit crimes there. i asked you today that you deal with this building. there have been at numerous complaints. numerous going out, but nothing has been solved. at what point will you really deal with this blighted buildings? think you for your time and attention today. -- thank you. >> good morning, commissioners. let my name is robert davis from the bay view also. i have a spreadsheet that is 35 pages long. i would like to discuss three things today. the first one is the bishop

and move to addison and halston one of many big change is happening tonight, superintendent your mccarthy says the plan will need mean better police service for the entire city of chicago but the president of the police union disagrees. the 21st district police station on east 29th street will close after more than 50 years one of many big changes happening as the chicago police department's consolidated. the 13th district will close in the fall in overall the city will no longer have five areas, there will only be 3 north central and south and police superintendent gary mccarthy says more than 100 officers will be reassigned to the patrol. it's not the buildings that protect the public is the public and by having more officers in those areas will have a better delivery of services. he also says it will save the city more than 10-$12 million annually. eliminating layers in flattening out the bureaucracy putting more officers on the street and holding them accountable is long term solutions that we are looking for, not short-term. clearly this is the city of chicago balancing the budget at

ever since the mccarthy period, most of the experience were left in the american government. they were hounded out of the state department in mccarthy's days and led among others by the likes of nixon. the best talent for analyzing china was at the cia and it's those people that i sought out. i was largely interested in the biographies of the people i was likely to be covering. i was right with the kowledge of who these people were. what role they played in the cultural revolution, etc. what the relationship might be between joe and mao. representing different factions of outlook on the world. in so far as i can tell, they had it right. >> i had a point. the cia was quite public about briefing people on the geography and the economy and so forth. i have an atlas that was published by the cia that was not unclassified. very detailed and informative. 98% of the information that was gone based on public sources. >> when i repeat the answers, thank you very much. . >> we have a question right here. >> what could be useful is to add a few more words about the context in the 1960s

i went to the analytical side, where ever since the mccarthy period, most of the experience china hands were left in the american government because they were hounded out of the state department in mccarthy's day by the republicans, led, among others, by the likes of nixon. and so the best talent for analyzing china was at the cia. and it's those people that i sought out. and i was largely interested in the biographies of the people that i was likely to be covering so that i could write with some knowledge as to who these people were, who role they had played in the cultural revolution, et cetera, what the relationship might be between zhou enlai and mao and representing different factions of outlook on the world. and insofar as i could tell, they had it pretty right, yes. >> if i could add a point, the cia was quite public about briefing people on the geography and the economy and so forth. i have an atlas that was published by the cia at that document, very detailed and informative. i also know from having been an analyst for many years that 98% of the information that we got was base

the anti-chinese witch hunts of the mccarthy years came after mainland china turned communist and the most recent backlash against the chinese in the 1990s grew out of u.s. concerns that the chinese would fill the massive power void left by the russians. i think that the theme of crisis being linked to abuse and violence cass violences can be found in my second book. the mass rape and torture and murder of hundreds of thousands of chinese civilians by japanese imperial forces in the capital of china in 1937. as i tried to understand the root cause behind these atrocities, i studied other acts of genocide across world history. such as the armenian massacre committed by the turks, and the jewish holocaust by the germans. and these horrific acts all had certain elements which preceded them, and an economic depression, the rise of dictatorships, and a racial scapegoat. often in order to consolidate their power, politicians will search for a common enemy as the means to unite the people, and a certain minority group at home or a perceived enemy overseas will be scapegoated and sacrificed.

i reviewed on our friend chip, and kevin mccarthy with 106.7 the fan, joining us by phone.re you there? >> allison, how are you? >> thank you so much for this. i know you're a busy man but is inned this myself. and -- but i noticed this myself and this grandma wants a little help. was she imagining this and a little older and doesn't agree with the content or has it changed? >> no, it has definitely chained. it is interesting, i've been to g-rated movies and i've seen the same thing. the reason for it is basically before a movie start, generally about six trailers. and two of those trailers are picked out by the studio who is rereleasing the movie. so for example, if you see lorax, universal pictures would pick out two trailer ares. the other four are -- trailers. the other four are picked out by the theaters themselves. if they're seeing a trailer that was not -- that had, you know, a questionable content or content not for kids for that movie they're seeing that is based on the theater's approval and putting the trail trailer in there. i talked to a move movie mom and she
