and to the matter of congestion, venice is obviously the most perfect city, because there are no cars. when you see the millions of people who come to venice every year, shot in their suitcases over small venetian steps, it becomes clear everybody agrees is a car is something which should be seriously thinking about how we can do without it. there was an example of one group from spain who talked about a remote village that had an economic engine and as an experiment it started to paint its entire downtown streets in white and blue, so the surface of the car became white or blue respectively. out of that arose an art movement where children and adults came together for three weeks and started painting and painting away. this started a couple of years ago. today, it is a recurring event in which people from all over the world come to watch what it is like to live in a city where streets can be blue or white. it is fascinating. i hope to perhaps show you a video of the presentation. from that thinking, from hearing from other people around the world of the real issues of urbanity end of

laced with waterways, berlin boasts more bridges than venice. we're taking the short one-hour city cruise. from its glory as the capital of prussia, to the terror and destruction of hitler and world war ii, to its nearly 30-year division by the wall, berlin has known both triumph and utter defeat. after being unified, berlin has undertaken a massive program to rebuild. in the center of the river, an island called the museuminsel is home to some of the finest museums in the world. i've disembarked to discover the treasures of the pergamon museum. the turn of the last century saw a fierce competition between the european powers to uncover great works of antiquity. german archeologists led major expeditions to the near east and acquired a collection of colossal city gates and altars that give a dramatic picture of ancient life. from pergamon, a wealthy greek city in asia minor, comes the pergamon altar, built in 165 b.c. and dedicated to the god zeus and goddess athena. the frieze tells the story of a violent battle between the greek gods and the g

san francisco won't become the venice of the west. silicon valley won't become the loss city of atlantis, and salt water won't come out the taps in southern california. why? because however much it costs we can't afford to let this happen. so we will build levies around the airports, we will build a seawall around the san francisco waterfront. flood control is already being incorporated into the planning for the salt pond to wetland conversion project in the south bay and we'll change the way we store and move fresh water around california. economically, we don't have any other choice. but the cost will be enormous. and where we'll get the money and what other important investments and expenditures we'll have to forego to afford this are the bigger questions. but we do have other choices. there may be some areas along the bay shore line where it's more cost effective to remove existing development and replace it with flood-absorbing wet lands than it is to protect the low value structures. there may be areas, particularly in the delta

venice seems to be every italy connoisseur's... prague has always been beautiful... germany... the irish civilization... the eiffel tower was built... hope you've enjoyed the magic of... milk cows spend their summers munching the wild herbs and flowers in the high meadows. their milk is destined to become the treasured alp cheese, or alpkase. alpine farms doing their traditional work welcome hikers and bikers for a peek at the cheese-making action. this farm is newly renovated to meet european union standards. failing to meet these would mean the cheese could not be exported. but still, traditional quality survives all these modern regulations. each morning veronica, a licensed and highly trained cheese maker, and her crew milk the cows and heat a copper vat of milk over a wood fire. as it slowly curdles, it's stirred at just the right temperature until the consistency is exactly how veronica likes it. at just the right moment, she swings the vat off the fire, then quickly dredges the vat with her cheesecloth... and packs the fresh cheese into frames. this process is repeated e
