he seems to be destroyed. >> host: townsend? >> guest: townsend took it the hardest out of all of them, and considering we don't know for sure that riffington was a spy, i don't get his emotion until recently -- i don't know what his state was, but they were devastated, went urpt, and at the same time she seems to have left the fray, benedict arnold was on the hunt and couldn't show their faces and knew they could be suspected and remotely suspected, scooped up because there was no court of justice in taking for the wrong reason, but that is another reason why i conclude that she absolutely was there, absolutely took part, and absolutely playeded a vital role, and she absolutely was killed. >> host: and townsend never married? >> guest: never married. there was a kid, robert, jr., they thought was it his kid, young adult books written on the ring say she had his baby, dieded in the prison ship, got -- there's no evidence of that. seems robert, jr., we concluded from talking to the oyster by people at length, the most logical is

ipv that robert townsend knew all of them. i haven't seen interaction with him but clearly because he was very judgmental of the careers, because he would break his book that to get information when he heard that one of them with panic and dump it which happened a few times he refused to work with them after a while. so he was pleased and nathaniel was his brother and evidently he would work with him once in a while so they knew each other. i think that would halt you everybody, no doubt about it. except for 355, which i have to say i don't know that they interacted. and he probably logically digital know brewster but would have to know what whole because he would do the runs and that was his gig before he stepped in. so they did interact and go. but i find interesting is that they didn't really afterwards they didn't interact much and when there was a barbecue at the end when they all got together, townsend ever showed and when washington said, on i want to go, meet by wing the rest of them went by themselves. >> host: so it

townsend who, and -- [inaudible] across z the street in the townsend mansion. and you may or -- i don't know if you've been with over there, but there are really no substantial portraits of mrs. townsend, and i wondered, i wonder where, what this particular -- is this a portrait of her? >> the pictures in the -- >> [inaudible] >> the question is the picture, well, page 136. they -- i see you slipping out. page 136, the picture of mrs. townsend, where'd it come from. because they don't have pictures of her except as an older woman, a much older woman. thereand these young pictures ae around the time that house was finished. and they are the ones i was mentioning, the glass plates, in answer to your question, the glass plates that are in erie, pennsylvania, that are uncataloged. they're safe. i mean, you say you found it. the archivist had them lying on the floor. they didn't. that's where that came from. and there are more. it's sort of a strange picture, don't you think? >> [inaudible] >> it's erie county historical society which is quite an operation. some of

townsend finds out pretty quickly.this is after the death of 355 he finds out how quickly they know and they mobilize. they know exactly what they are going to do. the british are going to go right down to words rhode island and they are going to take out the french before they can get there and go to the land links. they are going to hit them right away. so washington -- >> host: the french fleet is coming to rhode island to new port? >> guest: yes. two new port and the british know it. so they have to stop -- it wouldn't be the whole french media that there is an excellent chance the french would take some losses and go i wasn't into this anyway. i'm out of here. we can't suffer like this and i'm not sure of the cause right now. as a washington again not being in the military might to would think that it's time to block. you know what he does? he sends somebody into any area that he knows they are going to find some resistance. he takes them off, he has them go and a satchel comes off intentionally and in that satche

to see something of significance to be developed in the western edition by black folk as rooerd townsend refers to us and she supported our efforts to support that project. the connection of those two points in history for me is the recognize that i follow the path into business and for that was with regarded with the opportunity to work on this project. to create a one hundred affordable senior units in the western edition dedicated to mary rogers pr i'm eternally grateful for the opportunity to witness her leadership and her passion and her commitment that she dated in working for this community. i want to read a brief list of the folks who helped to make this project happen and to recognize the numerous individuals and thank them for their work. first faye paulson of yorba exposure. now that you've clapped could you hold your applause for everyone else after i've finished the list. mohammed and ms. jones all the folks at kay hill our architect team and all the various consultants. community housing partners and castro, the city of san francisco, building department the fire department

we came back and said with rooerd townsend we're going to do something else we're going to build the big picture. we announced the community trust fund for 1 and a half billion dollars to use that money to replace the projects so we full those other promises we made. and this is what's behind the mary helene rogers site. it fulfills a promise we wouldn't have poverty housing in this city to revision public housing. so let's keep working together all the elements that mr. johnson identified we need outline r all those we need urban core and everybody to work across different racial ethic divides. we're not going to end this is about mary helene rogers legacy. i condominium to you this is just another beginning of more projects to come as we bring more people across. this is a city that's rich in resources. we've got 80 get those resources to talk to each other and make a commitment to build more housing in the city. reverend fong i'd like to have the rogers family come up and present to them this pramgs declaring today mary helene senior day in san francisco (clapping.) i think mario

and townsend was directly involved. >> host: because they knew about the paper? >> word got to townshend in philadelphia the paper they are printing just like cars with a special paper it was stolen and that was the british intent. to go all the way back to woodhall to get it to washington he makes the adjustment in the house to act quickly in and he does. . . logically did not know brewster, but would absolutely have to know rowand would help because woodhall would do to new york city bad. i was escaped before tabs instead and it kind of save the rain. so they did interact. they did go. but i find fascinating is that afterwards interact match. when there's a barbecue at the end of the war, thompson never showed good washington showed up, say, guys, i want to meet neighboring. on the hostage row when the police not washington. the best kept to themselves. >> that's also a safety precaution. so if somebody is caught and questioned severely, he can't spill the beans. >> guest: and a day. the cia told me to read into this. i kept reading that tenet didn't know what

reverend brown townsend please come forward offering you're fine over there. i heard from reverend mccrepe he did a heck of a great job. we have supervisor and the mayor. the mayor is in a rush but reverend cal jones is something for green to give us the invocation >> i have a wonderful high school called balboa high school. >> we were in the same class but i couldn't play football lord have mercy i placed football and i'm praying pr it's a blessing to see you all here. we're trying to make things happen. as i look at reverend brown and side third paint and we figured out if preachers can get together we can do things across it or this city. we must continue the work that's been doing. we need to work on housing but i have to work on my brothers and sisters coming out of the prison. we all did something that we should have gone to jail. but the grace of god and so that's it. so we got to continue we've got more work to do and we thank god. reverend mcwhy a he's here. all right. that's good let's pray. god we thank you now as we come and celebrate this time tog

and walking lane put in certain segments where there are no sidewalks now on townsend street. we looked at that maybe being a more longer term opportunity for the redevelopment for potential rail yards in the area. there are additional studies that look in the west soma area and alleys and working with planning department and other partners to work on those. the planning department led a transit center district plan which really focused the northern end of the eastern neighborhood areas transit that feeds into area that focus on the more transit access including walking and bicycling. just recently as you are aware, we initiated the water transportation assessment and we are looking at how we can identify the multi-transportation needs and did an inventory to prioritize these projects and understand the needs in the network that will proceed the development and this will be the more mature opportunity that we are working very closely with all of our partners through and understand the transportation needs in that corridor wide area and work with the development agreements to e

i can see harrison and townsend, but what are the other two? >> market, 2nd to 6th. >> thank you. >> thank you for asking that question. we have been working on this process since early 2011 and probably had a hundred of community meetings and met with hundreds of stakeholders, in addition to working with many agencies. so these are the challenges and there are other transportation challenges. i'm going to turn this over to mara to complete the presentation. >> very quickly, what are we proposing from the land use standpoint? we're proposing to maintaining the zoning especially north of the freeway, where the c-3 or mixed-use neighborhoods that are already successful. what we have south of the freeway are industrial zoning that doesn't allow residential uses, it doesn't allow office uses. we spent a lot of time in san francisco in the last ten years to create protection areas further to the south where these uses can thrive, but it doesn't necessarily make sense of millions of dollars of the transportation infrastructure being built to have ind

the other ventilation shaft is on the quarter of third and townsend and this is on the side of the property that we don't own, and so it is part of the environmental supplement that we are in fact currently under way doing. when we get passed the underground station, it stops to rise up at mission bay boulevard and that is presently along them and we also had in the original environmental documents, underground possibilities and we are now, actually put in a revision to the design during this year. to consider, taking off to get under six street off-ramp so that there was in fact a closed tunnel that continues, beyond on the north side parallel to townsend and it ended ready to accept any tunnel build in the future from the south that would go underneath the mission bay boulevard and 16th street. and so, it any land use can be done without stopping when the build a future tunnel it connects to an existing tunnel but you are running the trains at the same time because you are coming down the line into it and so the switch over is rather than a couple of years. and if we were trying to build,

later this hour, by the way, i'll speak with cnn's national security consider the analyst fran townsendabout these reports. 1.million documents stolen by edward snow eden from the nsa and only supposedly a few thousand released so far. >>> meanwhile, a bomb threat at harvard university this morning appears too have been a hoax. no explosives were found. but several campusables were evacuated as a precaution. final exams scheduled for this morning in those buildings were canceled. the greater boston area still jittery after last april's terrorist bombing at the boston marathon. that attack killed three and wounded hundreds. let's bring in alexandra field on the scene for us. may have been a hoax, alexandra, but it still was a serious are crime whoever committed this hoax. so where does this investigation go from here? >> reporter: and actually, wolf, the investigation is still.haing on this campus right now. we've got state, local and federal officials here. minutes ago they told us they had officially cleared two of the four buildings that were targeted as part of the threat. there are

. >> 3rd and townsend all the way up to market and onto kerney? >> correct. >> i know it's a work in progress, but it can barely work now. >> i share that concern and i go back to the reason why we're doing this in the first place, which is there will be a tunneled subway under that, serving that and whether that our planning will be there will be fewer bus lines or greater headway there. no? no. >> the demand in that corridor is almost insatiable. >> i will come back to my original point that i hope you are considering that. i think through my head, all of those streets that can handle it, the traffic can go elsewhere and that is good and then you get to 3rd street and i question that. >> all the staff are in agreement. we have been trying to figure out how to deal with 3rd and 4th streets, because that is the area with the most needs for all users. so it's going to be eventually a trade-off. >> i know when moscone has a major convention, you will see like five tractor-trailers. >> the point i was going to suggest is as we learn -- or as you all

my club was townsend back in the day all the things you advocate like water and save sex and the like great we put out condemns. back in that day i didn't expect this you set up a table where they tested for field drugs i have an entertainment permit and drugs are illegal. i stood to be put out of business because you have your process so if you want clurgz clubs that have licenses by the nature of their business controlled by the state of california how do you provide services without harming the businesses and making the businesses compliant in our business >> i obviously wasn't in charge of the bay area chapter but at this point we also talk to the promoter and the venue owner before we do on site test. i think that's a concern particularly when they have an alcohol license. we actually have a sort of organization that is often working with us the drug alliances is working to very specific legislation put in place that makes it very clear the points of field testing and like the legality involved. i'm not a lawyer so i can't speak to all the legality. we work with venues several li
