vaux, brock -- calvin jacob ray and the team figured it out. it's really amazing.you should take a look at it. thing is, who started using central park when it opened in the 1860's? you have to understand the demography of manhattan island. the poor people lived downtown. they lived in the old .esidential districts the middle-class and rich left to go uptown. most of your poor were in downtown neighborhoods. park first opened, it was the middle-class and wealthy who had access to it. if you are an immigrant living downtown with eight kids, how do you get to central park? you don't. so, it was not used much by the the 10pulation until amends of manhattan move northward along with the ,ndustry and by the 1870's 1880's, 1890's, you begin to get uptown tenement districts on both sides of the island mixed in by the factories on the riverfronts. as a result, by the 1890's, the population of central park begins to change. it becomes more a little bit of everybody. of course here in early prints park with really only wealthy people in their carriages taking their strolls.

rays. >> colonel jack jacobs joins us right now. conversation as long as it can go. seems like a nice guy. of course, you have often told me off camera, medal of honor recipients, great guys. >> circumstances put us in a position where we had to act and it's not something else that anybody else wouldn't do so he's just like everybody else. >> what did you learn about him off camera? >> well, he's an interesting kid to the following extent we think all the time about the trials and tribulations veterans go through and somebody like him in particular because they had very, very grievous wounds and almost died a number of times. he doesn't wallow in it. he's going to the university of south carolina studying psychology. he's a smart kid and it's not that he wants to put his marine service behind him because it will always be part of him and he's soon to be a medal of honor recipient and therefore he's going to represent lots and lots of people but he's got a life, too, and he's going to pursue it. >> i'm always impressed when i get a c

a after that, it is out of his hands and into the 18, 19, 20-year-olds that colonel jacobs discussed. >> and it is, rayight, they delay the invasion by a night, and you guys pass the time by playing black jack and you made a fortune that night, didn't you? >> yeah, but i donated it some place to one fell hilo on the beach -- to one fellow on the beach, because when they cut off the pack, i had no place to carry my goodies or the candy bar ss that i traded in for french invasion money, and even was kind of liberal and gambling and it ended up i was the recipient of most all of their funds, and i brought it as far as the beach, and somewhere along the lines, someone came after i had been gone for a long time and wanted me to move and i said my pack is so heavy and so forth, and so he cut it off, and i said good-bye about a week or two later i said somebody hit the jackpot. >> yes, they hit the jackpot on you that night. and jack, what did the commanders tell you the night before that you were headed into? what did they say to you? we know what general eisenhower said to some of the par paratroopers. >> w

. >> an x-ray showed a metal pellet lodged in christina's face, a stark reminder of the time her ex-boyfriend jacob hadley shot her with a pellet gun just 18 months earlier. >> they had a fight all the time. and who's going to kill her except jacob? >> the most dangerous time for a domestic abuse victim is shortly after she tries to make a clean break from her abuser, and she had just done this in a big way. she had moved away. >> investigators interrogated christina's ex-boyfriend jacob immediately after her murder. he said that on the night of the murder he was a half hour away. >> jacob produced two very credible witnesses to testify that he had been drinking with them. as a matter of fact, they were members of the university of iowa women's track team. >> but the medical examiner estimated the time of death could have been any time between 9:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m., and not all of jacob's time could be accounted for. the evidence at the crime scene indicated the perpetrator was probably someone christina knew. other evidence suggested it was someone who lived close by. for example, the killer was

have heard from our veterans here, ray and jack, they have been e telling you about the importance of the bonds that they have created with france. so colonel jacobs, that is, you know i want to go to that for a minute because there is snarkiness that can enter into the political dialogue of the phren french. but i have noticed it five years ago when i was here, and there is real appreciation in the french public when it comes to d-day. >> yeah. you know, they depended on the united states to save the world and the united states did in fact save the world. there is another aspect of this and with the world in flames and the people fighting against tyranny, the same sort of atmosphere develops among allies as it does among the comrades in the foxhole fighting against the enemy enemy. there is a notion that we are all in it together. that persists now 70 years later. the notion in franklin's words we either hang together or we will surely hang separately. and it is that generation of both americans and europeans who know that they saved the world and protected everybody against tyranny and took it all back. and after if war presided over the biggest
