but you're in new york, there's a lot of great architecture in new york, not like washington. a lot of great architecture. and art in new york. much of the art, of course, that's not in public spaces and architecture. behind a door that you've got to pay a fee to access, you know. great art in london, spain, all over europe, rome is singular to me. i just got back from rome. the city itself is a work of art. you are inside a work of art that is the expanse of an entire city. you know, and i think that in this country, when you're over there, you see they've got t the -- i only have glib words for you today, but they have the art thing down. they're spending a lot of money over there. and they're getting a lot of tourists over there. they're getting a lot of our money over there over the last many years because they have preserved that heritage and they've made art count. they've raised their children to believe that art counts. it's part of their culture and part of their heritage. and coming over here and we have what they don't have. we have the potential and typically -- we

and no state more than new york state. when they were increasing their income taxes, the proximity of your competition is important. new jersey and connecticut had no income tax at that time. new york state was doing all of that at a time when its immediate neighbors had no income taxes and much lower taxes. in the late 1970's, under a democratic governor, the state embarked on what it ended up being a 17-year series of tax cuts. the state tax rate was cut in half. the city taxes began to stabilize and then be reduced, most significantly in the 1990's. mayor giuliani was the only mayor to make an absolute policy priority reducing taxes. in the late 1990's under him, the city cut taxes by about $3 billion. the city gained over 300,000 jobs. the tax model indicated around 80,000 of those jobs could be attributed directly to tax cuts. let's bring ourselves to the present and go through the end of the 1990's. the tax cut in progress stopped on september 11, 2001. that created an immediate fiscal problem for the city. that was p

1918 world series, sox owner and theater producer harry frisee sold a player named babe ruth to the new york yankees, reportedly to finance a play called no no nannette. the curse of the bambino was born. a great many new englanders would be born, grow old, and die alone before the sox would win another world series. in the meantime, though, they saw ted williams hit .406 in 1941. >> here is ted's last at-bat. >> reporter: in 1967, they saw yaz hit for the triple crown for the impossible dream team that pushed st. louis to seven games in the world series before losing. there was another near-miss in 1975 when one night after carlton fisk waved his home run fair the sox lost the world series to cincinnati's big red machine. >> it should be all over. and cincinnati has won the world championship. >> reporter: october 2nd, 1978, a day that will live in infamy for red sox nation. >> it's over the wall. >> reporter: yankees shortstop bucky dent, who hit a grand total of five home runs that season, and was batting ninth in the order that day, earned himself a new nickname, bucky "bleep" dent. >> a

and that's what new york city did. they first went to the hudson highlands, but 150 years later, it went to the delaware highlands. and really diverted the water that normally went to philadelphia to new york city. i don't think they anticipated that. narrator: the majority of new york city's drinking water comes from watersheds in upstate new york. a watershed is the area of land where water from rain or snow melt drains downhill into a body of water. mountains act as a funnel to feed rivers and lakes. and in this case, reservoirs. in the new york city system, water is collected and stored in 19 reservoirs, which can hold more than a year's supply -- over 580 billion gallons of water. almost all of the system is fed by gravity, without the use of energy-consuming pumps. valves open to regulate the flow into the 85-mile-long delaware aqueduct -- the longest tunnel in the world. at hillview reservoir... the water is partitioned into another giant tunnel system. where it travels deep below manhattan. the pressure built u

jason carroll, you are out there in new york city. is new york prepared?> reporter: new york is more than prepared. prepared and excited. you heard athena talking about the wind. as we were sitting in the live truck waiting for this live shot to happen here, our truck was slowly rocking back and forth. a lot of us had questions as to whether or not this flight would actually happen but we're all hearing it's a go. the music is blaring in the background and just off camera there are lots of people lining up for what is supposed to be a spectacular ceremony for "enterprise's" arrival. hundreds of folks have been invited down here. schoolchildren from new york, from connecticut, from new jersey, folks from nasa are going to speak. also some folks from the air and sea museum will be down here as well. that will be "enterprise's" final resting place when it gets here it will be housed here for several months and then on june 6th another spectacular moment when "enterprise" is loaded up on a barge and sailed over to the hudson river where it will end up at the s

new york, california. it's because we filed the lawsuits and because legislatures were forced to take a look at those centered question and now we can resolve it through legislative process. i think often you carry a big stick and sometimes you use it. and you create that political will on issues that are very difficult to convince people on, because they're not very nice people. you know, criminals, terrorist suspects. you force political leaders to take on what are sometimes very difficult issues by force iing m down the road. i think that's often the role. >> very brief. >> very briefly. i guess i would disagree with your characterization in some cases of the typical client of the aclu or other advocacy groups as politically powerless. on skid row in los angeles, there is no sthort shortage of advocates supporting the right of people to colonize sidewalks, to take over the entire pedestrian routes with encampments where they're shooting drugs, attacking each other. in 2006 a mentally

it is an ugly morning here in new york city.s been raining now for about 16 hours or some let's get a check on the weather from bill karins. what's going on out there? >> the storm is wrapping up for us, the east coast light rain today and drizzle. the heavy rain is over with. we actually needed it because of the drought conditions. what no one needs in april is snow. that's what they're getting. tug hill plateau, areas north of syracuse, western new york it's snowing. eventually that snow will work its way into buffalo and even pittsburgh. the white on the map shows you where the snow is. if you're driving across the turnpike or interstate 80, you will get into snow. even the new york state thruway from rochester to buffalo, snow is expected. how much snow? none for the big cities. it's on the cold side of the storm. it's really for western portions of pa. how much snow? looks like jamestown, new york, could be the bullseye. buffalo and pittsburgh, three to five inches is likely. when you get leaves on the trees, that's enough

new york and pennsylvania, you'd deal with snow. the other story this weekend was the incredible heat. very warm from phoenix to denver. when the middle of montana is 85 degrees that's like summertime. that's a look at the national forecast. now here's look at the weather outside your window. today, new york city, drizzles and showers around. most of the around will be dry. the warm side of this storm. it's really back toward the great lakes where all the cold air is. even columbus, ohio, struggling into the 50s. once again, i'll give you some updated snowfall totals for selected cities coming jup thanks. also coming up will apple drop even further? some big bucks company buys. >> and if you thought long distance air travel couldn't get faster. take a guess. your business headlines are straight ahead. >>> box office business for one film topples "the hunger games" off its champion perch. >>> the kings slay a giant, the flyers eye the penguins and a vicious el whoa that could change the face of the nba playoffs. you're watching "earl

the "new york times." a junior fbi agent played a critical role in cracking a potential new lead in the etan patz case. thomas mcdonald was handed this case over five years ago. he re-examined it from scratch. an official says, quote, he took to heart that this little boy has been missing for so long and his family doesn't know what happened to him. mcdonald initially faced resistance from the family who had enough of new investigators over the years, especially the mom in this case. the new search for evidence led him to a local handy man. miller put a new floor of concrete into his work space right after etan disappeared. he believe miller had something to answer for. >> they said apparently it would have taken about $1,000 back in the '70s to chip away that brand new concrete floor and actually do the investigation then but that was too expensive. >> ten years ago they went there and the guy said to them, this handy man, if you want to tear up the concrete, go ahead, at your expense. that is ten years ag

. >> rose: we conclude this evening with bill bratton, former police commissioner of new york city and los angeles. his new book is called "collaborate or perish. : reaching across the countries in a network world." >> the whole concept in new york city that changed the revolutionary change in this city in the '90s was the idea of the broken windows philosophy. the idea that minor rules which had been neglected for 25 years in the city, aggressive begging, graffiti, once we began to pay attention to that, the tipping point that gladwell wrote about in his book occurred very rapidly. so you can reverse an epidemic once you find the right vaccine, if you will. and in new york that vaccine was police doing what police are supposed to do: enforcing the law constitutionally, compassionately, consistently. poor neighborhoods; rich neighborhoods. you do it the same all over. >> rose: pelosi and bratton when we continue. captioning sponsored by rose communications from our studios in new york city, this is charlie rose. >> rose: nancy pelosi is here. she is the minority leader of the house of

>> guest: new york city. based in new york. i don't know quite what it's about, but i know it will deal with the very rich and the changing nature of wealth and the very poor and the changing nature of poverty. and i know it involves a child living in the most dysfunctional heart of that at least somewhat dysfunctional city. i'm really fascinated by the horrid gin lane -- like conditions under which some children in new york are growing up. so, i'm going to do that. i'm not going to do some of the maybe more predictable things. i don't want to do a column, i've already decided that, or commentary and stuff like that. i want to stay home and be a serious writer. i'm going to write some for tv, too. and still try to be a serious writer in tv. i have a boy who's 2 1/2 and he's growing quickly. he's going to leave me soon and go to school, and in new york when they go to school they leave at 8 in the morning and then between lessons and scheduled play dates you don't see them until 4 or 5 pm, when they come in with their little bri

right here in new york city on the hudson river. : you think about all the time we've worked in news and how many flights we have seen take off and come back from space over the past 10 or 15 years and, this was always such a rare sight because nasa always wanted to be able to land in florida but the backup location was always the desert sands of california. but if you landed in california, it was an extra tab of about a million dollars, membership mum in order to put the shuttle on board or on the back of a 74 and eventually fly it back home to florida. something that nasa didn't want. sometimes the weather got in the way and the mission was growing too long and therefore you had to put down in california. you would see a sight like this. it is rare, although we have seen it before but this is the mode of travel now for enterprise as she makes her way toward the big apple. martha: law are ingle standing by at jfk as she waits for this. laura, it has been an extraordinary history for this international space station and the shuttle t

chinese firstborn in this country," versus, "what is the food that's being eaten in my upper west side new york city neighborhood," and kind of this... or were you just like, "you know what? i'm a new yorker," or, "i'm a chinese immigrant"? >> yeah, no, i was, like, kid. no, i was a kid, and to be honest, when i was growing up, i loved beef and broccoli and, like, you know, roast pork lo mein. and my mom actually would tell me, you know, "that's not real chinese food." and i'm like, "what do you mean it's not real chinese food? we get it from the chinese takeout on the corner," right? >> hinojosa: so you guys would call. >> or i would go down. we didn't have to call, because, you know, i was, like, you know, ten years old, and i'd go, "bop bop bop ba..." you know, because it's on the block, and you just go, and you say, "i want beef with broccoli, roast pork, fried rice, and your chicken lo mein." you know, egg rolls or two. and we would eat it. and i actually didn't understand that there was that significant a difference between, like, chinese food and this takeout until i went to china. becau

and you described new york today to -- you say sound the alarm, there is a new drug epidemic in town and most of the city wants in on it. in certain circles of new york, it is regular table conversation. we have entered the golden age of self-medication. drugs have become like hair products or cosmetics. this is brain styling, not mind altering, and you have a serious point to make there, but what is the extent of what you see going on in new york? >> well, i mean, i think new york is the same town that brought you woody allen and brought you everybody having a psychiatrist. there not a great deal of stigma to being neurotic in new york. it is accepted to the point of maybe being desirable in certain circles. i think now that these medications are more common, new york is the place where people are going to be comfortable with it and going to be open about it. >> you make a point of saying here that this is brain styling, not mind altering. you make a clear distinction between the two, do you not? >> yeah. i think people when they have actual problems like anxiety, depression or inso

bbc news, new york. >>> the incredible hot house of new york's preschools.'s evidence that the problems in the u.s. education system stretch far beyond preschool. in an international survey, american students ranked 15th in reading, 23rd in science, and 31st in math. but when it came to spending, america spends roughly $10,000 per student while other wealthy countries spend only $7,400. for more on this divide and what can be done to fix it, i spoke with michelle wii, the former chancellor of the public schools. and she joined me from nashville and i started by asking her about what those figures revealed. >> there's an absolute disconnect. if you look at the american spending, this happened over the last few decades, we have more than tripled the amount of money that we are spending per child on education. that's in real dollars. that's controlling for inflation over the last four decades or so. and, yet, the results have remained stagnant. so we put ourselves in a really tough position as educators because had we tripled the expenditures and student achiev

was played at a trial about three new york men charged with plotting to bomb the new york city subways in 2009. another al qaeda recruit from new york, bryant vinas, testified he plotted to bomb a wal-mart store and the long island railroad to cause the big economic hit al qaeda leaders wanted. don borelli, a former f.b.i. agent, was involved in the investigation. >> they understand the psyche of the west that even a small plot that's successful will cause huge economic disruption. >> reporter: al qaeda is weaker than it was a few years ago but is still trying to recruit westerners. >> this is the crown jewel for al qaeda, to be able to have somebody like that that they can trust that they can train and then reinsert back into their homeland and carry out an attack essentially, whenever they deem appropriate. >> reporter: that point was underscored in this trial. the three new york men charged in the subway plot have joined al qaeda to fight american soldiers in afghanistan but when al qaeda leaders learned that they were americans with u.s. passports they asked them to go home and car
