thinking a bit about los angeles in that way, the kind of, you know, dark underbelly of the city thing like raymond chandler would do. it's hard to tell. it would be interesting to ask him. i know he was doing a lot with artificial light at that time because he was teaching at art center college down here in l.a. he was working with artificial light more than most people would expect. >> why do you think he was so down on his work in this particular assignment? these are actually, well, i'm not sure they are because, see, i'm looking adam from a different light when i know that they're ansel adams photographs. >> right. >> if i thought these were just done by joe blo, i don't know whether i would be as intrigued by them as i am. >> well, that's right, huell. i mean, a lot of the appeal is the fact that they were done by ansel adams. they're really just straight documentary shots around the city, but there is a quality that ansel brings to his work. i think it's interesting because it's so much out of what people expect. it's not the ansel adams of the sierra nevada, and so the interest to me is her

bring sunlight onto the city streets and prevent overcrowding of the land through these setbacks, as you know. and so working within these restraints, created by the zoning laws, raymond hood, who designed patterson's news building, and other style setters, create -- i don't know what you call it, but it's a distinct distinctly -- it doesn't have a name associated with wright, for example, it's distinctly a new york style architect, that's a style that was said a style born of necessity. we had to do it, and we did it, it was done well. and there's hood himself, one of the great style setters in new york city. he lived up in rhode island, and commuted into the city. there you see the dramatic setbacks in the fred french building, which is, of course, on the corner of 45th. i mentioned 5th, but it's on the corner of 45th. and fifth avenue. a couple friends of mine worked in that building, but i never spent too much time in it. but i came across a novel called "underworld." these two characters go into the gleaming lobby and this woman and her daughter turn to each other and say, who on earth is fred french? there's a story there. fred french was a real estate visionary

designed to bring sunlight on to the city streets and prevent overcrowding on the land through the setbacks. working within these restraints, created by the zoning laws, raymond hood, who designed patterson's daily news building create i don't know what you call it, but a distinctly, it's not prayerly architect, it doesn't have a name like that. it's a new york-style architect that is a style that was born of necessity. we didn't want to do it, we have to do it, it was done well. one of the great style setters in new york city. he lived up in rhode island and commuted into the city. there you can see the dramatic setbacks in the fred french building, which is, of course, on the corner of 45th. i mentioned fifth, but it's the corner of 45th and fifth avenue. a couple friends of mine worked in that building. i never spent too much time in it. i came across a novel called "underworld." the two characters go into the lobby and turn to each other and say, who on earth was fred french? well, there's a story there. fred french was a real estate person. what he sold, he sold with a ferver of a millionaire. stock for you and i. he turned the stock company into a profi

raymond cournoyer. i'm the icwa director for the yankton sioux tribe, and also the chairman of the coalition of sioux tribes. a group of south dakota icwa directors have come together to meet in rapid city. >> i think today is a, kind of a monumentous day for us because we're here to make changes to move forward, so it's like a new beginning for us. they're trying to come to a new agreement with the state's attorney, mark vargo. >> i am very comfortable that if we go around this table the goal of every person in this room is essentially the same, so the question becomes nuts and bolts, how do we set up processes, or eliminate processes that let us get to our goals better. officials from dss were at the meeting but asked us not to film them. >> i just think so many of these cases could be avoided if law enforcement was more aware or better trained in this whole process. >> it might not be a bad idea to see if we can provide some assistance to law enforcement, because you're right, they can only do what they know. >> we're saying we all want to do something, well why can't we do it? juanita scherich is the icwa director for the oglala sioux tribe. she was placed into foster care when she
