sprick i don't have a number but the district in the queens in the bronx is a district unlike any other district in this country has issues with unemployment and jobs. we have concerns about health care, one of the highest levels of onset diabetes. i was happy to hear him mention the first lady in her role tackling the issue. it means a great deal to my constituency particularly in the bronx so there were a number of things this evening that he mentioned that i felt directly was speaking to my constituency. and health care, the one thing that again going back to what he said -- he alluded to what took place in massachusetts. putting that aside politically, what happened there is not going to change the fact that americans are going without health insurance. small businesses have to cut their employees' health insurance, the people are being discriminated against. i felt i was very powerful that the politics can go on, but the work of the american people need to continue, and i thought what was on of the strongest points was the ending. he said i'm not a quitter and you can't quit and th

the things that reagan did most americans was the fictionalized but often told story of the welfare queenwhose race was never stated but nevertheless understood, this woman who had numerous husbands and drove around in cadillacs all the time, never existed but became a very, very popular figure. i think that reagan was really the start, however much he's been lauded, of a real anti-woman, and the start of an us against them at syndrome which we have seen carried over really through the second bush administration. yes? >> i'm not too clear about hate crimes, but i understand there is such a category, and i was wondering if anyone is pushing through congress, any legislation, any bill, so that crimes that are directed against women fall into the category of hate crimes? >> you know, i honestly don't know if there's anything current, but i'll be glad, if you give me your card, i'll be glad to check it and i will definitely get back to you that i am not aware of anything that is putting women in the category. of course, there is the violence against women act that was written by joe biden and

the people here at queens hospital could not have been better. i feel very, very fortunate. i have been treated to the best healthcare the world has to offer and that's right here in the united states of america. also i'm overcome with all of the prayers, the cards and the flowers of that come in from people all over the country. it has been a humbling experience. all my life i've wondered what a heart attack would be like. i never had any problem with it. in 2:30 i experienced pain in my upper left chest like i had never experienced before. i sat down, walked around, and nothing evaded. i got on the phone and called the security staff, and the security people were up there instantly. emt came in instantly and i think within 20 minutes i was here at the hospital undergoing extensive tests. they alleviated the pain problem within a half-hour. yesterday afternoon or yesterday morning i had an angiogram, which is a catheter treatment through the heart, and they found absolutely nothing wrong. it was a blessing. no arterio disease, no coronary disease whatsoever. stayed last nig

today i have problems still sometimes i was a pious a life of louis armstrong lived in the house in queens. i thought he has a castle like a big hero. for me it is still somehow very difficult to find out not everybody likes abstract paintings. not everybody likes allen ginsburg. for many years i was because this effort under the impression that this is very artistically very progressive, wonderful country, and this was the amazing impression which we all got, and i think it much more for the free western way of life. this was wonderful promotion of the values and i think it influenced so many people. and maybe the way i put it in the book because i am of the generation that i look at the music or the symbol of films and arts and that whole change on the social and cultural scene. it wasn't just that. as you say correctly it was also books, poems and we were so curious because we were denied -- we were not -- it's also interesting one thing under the communist every thursday some sort of book would come out been published and there were lines of people the book would sell incredible number
