it is like new york, i'm sure there are places people go. what we do on the last monday of january -- we send out 500 volunteers dressed as vagrants, and we assign them to different places around the city where you might find homeless, and we send out 2000 volunteers who go all night and tried to count, and we assume we get the same percentage of the actual population as the decoys, and it has been coming down about 13% each year. i have not got the numbers for this year yet. we should be getting them in the next few weeks, but it is a great challenge, and we have about 2500 people living on the streets of new york city, and almost all of them, we interface with. they have emotional problems or psychiatric or addiction problems. there is no simple answers. there are people who just need help, and it is hard to reach out to them. from what i have heard about the mayor, he has a real compassion for people, and that is what you need, someone who is going to do that. >> what advice would you give our new mayor to try to keep his head above water

this is new york. basically, work hard, become very skilled in your trade or in your profession and make money in the process. but then give money back to the community. and finally, in this idea of cosmopolitanism. read shakespeare, read milton, read wordsworth and have a sense of the entire world. so what i think is really important to think of here is the way in which when we say black-american or african-american, you know, an image immediately comes to mind, and i -- kind of static. what i want to point out is the very dynamic process of making identity in this period. people have been kidnapped from and brought enslaved to the new world, to the united states, to america, to the united states, to new york. and they didn't become black-american or african-americans overnight, but the the a process of struggle. and that was -- of trying to forge identity. and that's what the schooling was all about. so to pass on that circle number one, to pass on circle number two is the, um, black community it wit

you're nobody in new york and you're everybody in new york. so it's the greatest city on earth as far as i'm concerned. i don't live there, i don't want, i don't experience that smoke up my butt. tavis: i live there, it doesn't happen to me. you make a joke about it, but do people walk up to you and talk to you? >> people say, do you remember me? we melt in the elevator? i say, when was that? they say, 10 years ago. absolutely, i remember you. tavis: just between the two of us -- >> what, you have a script? tavis: that was good, i like that. no i don't. two-part question here. just between the two of us, the one thing that you did in fact make that you have since had reservations about, if there is one, and something you didn't make that you say now, maybe i should have. >> i think that, you know, didn't make was just on short commercial, "the dragon tattoo," i read about it in "newsweek," i had an opportunity, and i walked into the staff, it was one of those days when i wasn't being alpha male and walked in and said what do you think we shoul

>> i was a general assignment reporter in new york city. i covered anything that came down the pike from celebrity interviews to police commission hearings, to city hall to fifth avenue. and really i learned a lot about the city, about writing. it was a place where we were really urged to bring bright writing to newspaper stories. it really set me up, i think r, for the rest of my career. >> what year did you get out of college? >> 1974. >> >> you have been in new york city for the last 18, 19 years. >> in 1970 to go to college, so, yeah, i guess 22, 23 years, something like that. >> when you think about those days at the "new york post" and stories that you have offered, do it have memories? name a couple. >> oh, gosh. i remember coming in the first hears that became so famous about corruption in the nursing home system in new york city and how badly elderly people were treated, which made a huge impression on me. i remember doing a profile of sean connery and not being able to get a word out of him for almost the entire interview and then

the lives of my new york forebears'. they were born free at a time when slavery was still legal in new york state. they lived in racially mixed neighborhoods, first in lower manhattan and then after the civil war in brooklyn at a time when harlem was a mere village. they were part of new york's small but significant community and specifically its elite class so, the first in polls for my writing the book was my desire to overturn these assumptions, assumptions that we live with almost on a daily basis. therefore to point to the significance of the black elite in new york city. so it was a professional and polls, if you will. the second boat is from the epigraph of the prologue. it is from toni morrison's beloved. denver was seeing it now and feeling it. the more fine point she made the more details provided the more beloved elected. so she anticipated the questions by giving blood to the scraps of her mother and grandmother told. denver spoke, beloved listened. the two did the best they could to create what really happen

york state before the civil war denotes a place of freedom, that lacks in new york city designate harlem, that the black community posits a classless and culturally unified society, that a black elites did not exist until well into the 20th century. .. to point to the significance of the black elite in new york city. so it was a professional impulse that you will. the second is from the epilogue prologue from toni morrison's beloved. the more fine point she made, the more detail should provide it, the more beloved like it. so she anticipated the questions by giving blood and scratched her grandmother told her in the heart beat. denver spoke, beloved listened in the two did the best they could to create what really happened, how it really was a mossad paperfolding view because she alone had the mind for it in the time afterward to shape it. so the second quote points to one of my great concerns in writing about come to the idea to recover my family's past, my great, great grandparents and so forth and realizing they were their memories and not my memories. so how could i tell the story of

to new york for a trial they should have smooth the way there was really no reason not to bring them to new york for trial and yes political opposition grew out of a bunch of local concerns and local opposition mostly from business groups who were concerned about traffic tying up lower manhattan that didn't have to happen the administration could have handled that much more carefully talked through with the mayor with this new york senator as kind of smooth that way before making that announcement what if the u.s. couldn't have one and we could now convicted and civilian court what evidence was thrown out because you know why they believe that he was tortured what about that issue. you know again that's really a red herring i mean eric holder himself the attorney general in two thousand and nine stood up and said we have a ton of evidence against these guys none of which comes from their statements now if they were tortured which we know that they were mistreated in prison and some of them were tortured those statements made under torture cannot be used in u.s. federal court but as e

york story in a brief new york minute. i live in brooklyn and a little backyard in the back and stone walk in the front. years back my son was in the front and we left our backyard and there was a huge august moon rising and we up the block and out into a neighbors backyard when there was a party and when my son got to the party, he said we've got a moon just like that in our backyard. let me say we've not a climate change just like yours in our backyard. the time spent yesterday, at least for me, was very well spent and leads up to the business of today. yesterday we talked about the state of knowledge. some of it was wonderfully obvious. and water goes down hill and collection areas and some of it was breathtakingly vague trying make a billion dollar decision about something. we talked about simple solutions and bold actions and diverse drinking water systems in san diego and we heard about thinking about discipline, winning over regulators and economic development agencies and environmental groups as getting them to wor

the war, mainly the new york tribune, james bennett new york herald and had some serious correspondents in the field and there were -- they were so eager to get information the telegraph made it so easy to do and you can look right at the beginning of the war i have here for run a great union defeat and here's the headline in the new york herald the great battle union victory it says captor of the bull runs batteries -- the rebels routed and driven back to manhattan. that is what happened in the morning. but they filed so quickly that they didn't get what happened later in the day. the washington journal in this battle near manassas junction, the enemy forced to retire, three masked batteries taken, desperate conflict by telegraph. the secretly funneled prematurely, they filed so early that they couldn't handle it. cspan: how long would take -- let's say that "the new york times" or the herald or one of the papers would publish an article was written near a battle. how long would it take for the general on the scene to get the report back? >> guest: i would very i think. some of them pr

now, the good news for folks like me who are now in new york instead of visiting new york is that that out-of-town dollar helps support a very large infrastructure. thirty-five thousand cops is a lot of cops, for example, and bringing that tourist dollar here is -- works. and new york city tourists and hotels had a record year last year. so people are coming in record numbers even in tough times because they like -- >> and paying the prices. >> and paying the price. >> you said 35,000 cops? has the number gone down from 50? >> it actually went from 40 to 35. >> another thing, and i've been coming to new york a number of years, this time i noticed -- i know this isn't new. i was here during the strike of the sanitation workers, but three times a week you see these huge piles on the street, on the sidewalk of green bags full of garbage and they're put out there at night and they're picked up sometime the next day. why is that? >> well, there's a mixture here. some of those are commercial trash and some are city trash, you know? there's -- we're just -- it's a very dense city, lots of fol

new york. this is 45 minutes. >> [inaudible] the country rose to those men in new york, our national gdp would increase by 43%. the three largest metropolitan areas in the u.s. produced 18% of the country's output while containing only 13% of the country's population. the connection between urbanization and economic prosperity is even stronger in the developing world. if you compare those countries with more than 50% of the population in urban areas with those that have less than 50% of the population living in urban areas you will find the more than five times more prosperous, five times richer. they also have infant mortality levels that are one of third as high and they also have people who describe themselves as being more satisfied with their lives and their jobs. that cities are the path out of poverty to prosperity for so much of the world. of course we see in this success of places like new york not just in terms of their income. cities are also fun, green, healthy, they are exciting pl

you were on board as deputy mayor of new york city. what is the difference in being an operations deputy mayor than the rest of them? some where you said you'd rather have somebody else's debbie meier job. >> one thing that drew me to new york is i wanted to start -- somebody else is the deputy mayor job. one deputy mayor has done some remarkable stuff on homelessness and affordable housing. she does social services and someone else does education and economic development. i do the mechanics of government, police, fire, sanitation, budget. when i had it been interviewed by a "the times, go i said i would be happy to trade places with her. >> there are 50,000 policemen here, which is bigger than all of the government of indianapolis. >> there are more police officers and their art total employees of indianapolis -- then there are total employees of indianapolis, yes. there are up about 350,000 public employees in new york. that means one out of every 2.5 people in indianapolis would be a public employee in new york. >> how many people r

and that's what new york city did. they first went to the hudson highlands, but 150 years later, it went to the delaware highlands. and really diverted the water that normally went to philadelphia to new york city. i don't think they anticipated that. narrator: the majority of new york city's drinking water comes from watersheds in upstate new york. a watershed is the area of land where water from rain or snow melt drains downhill into a body of water. mountains act as a funnel to feed rivers and lakes. and in this case, reservoirs. in the new york city system, water is collected and stored in 19 reservoirs, which can hold more than a year's supply -- over 580 billion gallons of water. almost all of the system is fed by gravity, without the use of energy-consuming pumps. valves open to regulate the flow into the 85-mile-long delaware aqueduct -- the longest tunnel in the world. at hillview reservoir... the water is partitioned into another giant tunnel system. where it travels deep below manhattan. the pressure built u

york, et cetera, new york is the state, it is the place, and my brand wouldn't be what it is if i wasn't -- hadn't been associated with the yankees. i mean certainly i have got an ego big enough to think i would have been, you know, just like hop along cassidy and roy rogers and, you know,. >> i certainly think you have to give credit to the legacy of the new york yankees helping anyone's image. i think derek jeter is who he is today and certainly a great, great player. but the yankees have certainly helped his brand. >> >> you can't fail to talk about billy martin and steinbrenner in this. [ laughter ] >> but that was -- there was the drama of the field in the late seventies and there was drama offer the field too, and i would imagine that the fact that this was unpolleding in new york with the tabloid press, and the kind of fans that are so obsessively interested, that that turned that drama into a bigger deal than it might have been someplace else? >> no doubt. i think the success of the yankees helped that. i think if you are on a losing ball club we would have been a discombobulated
