[cheering and applauding] >> their family is in peru, which is where [speaker not understood] hailses from. they're so disappointed they couldn't be here tonight. but the back story on this is chuck grew up in the portola. and next to mclaren park and he spent his whole childhood there. and when he and she married, they wanted the same childhood experiences chuck had had, and even better ones. so, they have spent their time working on the play grounds and all the other aspects of the park. and they worked so well and collaboratively with all the other park groups that represent mclaren park. parks alliance and rec and park department. i know they want me to thank everybody who has been such an integral part of giving them this award and all the work we still have to do on mclaren park. so, thank you for chuck and

understood] de angelo, yei engineer [speaker not understood], [speaker not understood], our insured mclaren young and insurer consultant mka. so, it has taken a host of people working on this project nonstop, but we're really gratified to have pier 29 back looking as beautiful as she does and actually being filled with people as she is right now. so, if i could, i'd really like to thank a crew of people so please join me. (applause) >> okay, where am i? i know it's a lot. i forgot to mention the california preservation foundation is going to publish a book in honor of their 30th anniversary. the book is being published by heyday books and written by j.k. da neen forward by john king. 50 projects received this award over the past 30 years and one of those projects is this building, the ferry building landmark no. 90. so, we're very pleased by that honor as well. not on the calendar, but i did want to mention that this thursday, august 15th is the third thursday of the month which means it is the third celebration of third on third in the bayview, which is a fairly new event beginning this pa

. >> i'd like to just call your attention that mclaren park, second-largest park in san francisco and also the southeast side and definitely i believe warrants consideration for a tap station. >> great. we'll keep it in mind. we do have plans to install a couple of additional tap station over the next few years. the funding mechanism has yet to be determined. i'm working on that. i'm actually the person managing that project. >> supervisor campos. >> thank you. i would -- i don't think that we can emphasize this enough. i think that you have to think about the equitable distribution of these locations. if you go back to the map for the water fountains -- >> the schools or -- >> not the schools, the parks. you can see that the southeastern quadrant is just -- i mean -- and i would actually think that the public policy analysis would be the opposite. where people are drinking less, that's where you would want to make the water found tans available. >> something to take in consideration the high obesity rate. ~ fountains >> in the latino, african-american communities, that's probably whe

we have michelle mclaren and so many others. >> rose: bryan directed a couple episodes didn't he? >> the first episode you see was directed by bryan cranston. he's directed three episodes for us. the first one he did an excellent job, the second was better, this is his best yet. >> rose: the third one is the best yet. you haven't seen it yet. it's his third as director of "breaking bad." it's the first episode you will see. >> rose: aaron has said last season is dark. you said this was a victory for walt. >> i did say that in an interview when i was drunk. (laughter) i think in a sense it is but some of you may watch it and say "what was he smoking when he said that?" >> rose: heisenberg. where did you come up with that? >> i don't remember. the wonderful thing about t.v., one of the many things i love about it, is we have been seven of us-- myself in included-- sitting around in a room, felt like a sequestered jury that would never end. and you sit for hundreds of thousands of hours and you forget who says what. and we were talking about how did walt get himself out of the r.v. w

together in the '70s, mclaren and westwood opened amuse i can and fashion shop on london's king's roadunk exhibit at the metropolitan. does this look pretty close to what it looked like? >> yeah, not too bad. reporter: clothes for heroes is on the door. >> i think that theme runs through my clothes. that's the mark of it somehow. people who want to stand tall. >> reporter: feels like yesterday in a way. >> i don't know. i don't think that. doesn't everybody feel like this about their life. that's somebody else. it happens to be me. you know, you just move on. don't you? turn that around. let me have a look. >> reporter: 40 years later westwood still owns her own company. >> just a minute. let's just have a look at this. >> reporter: her fashion empire is headquarters in london. >> this is one of our couture dresses. >> reporter: where all her designs are brought to life. so this is kind of where you test everything. >> yeah. and then when we're satisfied and we really like something, then it is sent to italy or somebody comes here and has a look at it. >> reporter: in her stores, she h

then it also includes the work done by a retired australian homicide detective by the name of colin mclarenok 20 years ago when it came out. was intrigued by the conclusions and decided about four years ago to dig back into it as a cold case. essentially reviewed all available witness testimony. and other evidence from the house committee selection of 1977 and developed a lot of additional information that collaborates donahue's theory. >> we asked the secret service for comment on this and they referred to us the war commission. do you think this case is closed or people out there who are still open to other theories? >> well, you know, there is certainly a lot of people that don't necessarily buy the official explanation. there is evidence that suggests it could not have been true. again, howard donahue looking specifically at the ballistics evidence was virtually certain that head shot could not have been fired by lee harvey oswald. the secret service i don't know what they're going to tell you other than the fact that the conclusions are correct unless they had a change of heart. >> we'

but mclaren, the company in britain, may be a bit put out by this. so, who knows?ither in the bugaboo or a maclaren. he's boosted the economy by $373 million just june and july. >> the baby. >> the baby, baby paraphernalia and related items. and set to double by august. and prince george is only 27 days old. >> wow. >> imagine when he's 27 months or 27 years. he will have added incrementally and enormously to the british economy. >> that's great. you know, all of this stuff seems kind of silly that people sort of jump on the bandwagon or the stroller wagon, but hey, if it's getting the economy going, i say good. >> exactly, from bugaboos to blankets to alden and anais, boosting the economy. >> i definitely have to work on my baby fashion. >> exactly, and soft blankets. >> i hope he's getting a cut of the action. that's all i can say. >> he definitely needs it, right? definitely needs it. >> fashion and style, watching with bated breath. >> nadia bilchik, thank you very much. and if you do want more on the british royal family, you can watch cnn's exclusive intervie

i'm the president of friends of mclaren park. it is one of the oldest neighborhood community park groups in san francisco. i give a lot of tours through the park. during those tours, a lot of the folks in the group will think of the park as very scary. it has a lot of hills, there's a lot of dense groves. once you get towards the center of the park you really lose your orientation. you are very much in a remote area. there are a lot of trees that shield your view from the urban setting. you would simply see different groves that gives you a sense of freedom, of being outdoors, not being burdened by the worries of city life. john mclaren had said that golden gate park was too far away. he proposed that we have a park in the south end of the city. the campaign slogan was, people need this open space. one of the things that had to open is there were a lot of people who did a homestead here, about 25 different families. their property had to be bought up. so it took from 1928 to 1957 to buy up all the parcels of land that ended up in
