and boston several times. never heard of it. dr. foreman said this is a unique human being. since then i have talked to in number of native australians and i'm amazed at how few of them have ever heard of joseph warren. thanks to europe book which he did send me an advance copy of so i just got ahold of it yesterday. you mentioned your book talks about two charismatic men one from massachusetts and one from virginia. i'm assuming i know the answer to the man from massachusetts is joseph warren. i have wondered since i've been here wise in their bridge named after joseph warren? >> yeah. speed reading the book there was a ridge named after joseph warren. can you tell me what happened to it? >> my history of boston passed 1776 is very thin. joseph warren was the hero of his day. he was someone that was a revered icon of the time, and would perhaps have been a founding father if he had lived but he didn't live. so he did not become part of that pantheon that we are so aware of today. but it's interesting, i loyal

boston became emptied of most of its inhabitants. this was an island, this was truly an island community and it was interesting to me being an island or that has a year-round population of 15,000 to think that on nantucket, to think that boston was basically an island connected by a thin neck of land known as the neck that was as narrow as 100 yards at high tide in some places that led to roxbury. then it was this island dominated by three hills almost of mountainous proportions with a small town of 15,000 people crammed into a group of houses in the north and south ends. this was an island and it was easily, after lexington and concord the patriot inhabitants fled al to. they would be about 3000 nonmilitary people left in the city. most of them loyalists, refugees and a smattering of patriots who decided to leave, decided to stay so they could look after their houses along with 9000 soldiers. so boston became a city under siege as paid trip militia who had been involved in the skirmishes of lexington and concord and towns well beyon

by 1772, two years after the boston massacre and unsettling call settling on boston. the patriot movement was losing steam and it was in doubt fault that he instituted the boston committee of correspondence. it was a brilliant move because what he did was create a network of communication that had never existed before in which a 21 member committee in boston would write up tracks that were then distributed to 250 pounds throughout massachusetts. remember this is a time when massachusetts included what is now modern maine and this set ud town meetings that usually were devoted to discussing things like repairing roads and bridges on the issues of the day. one of the first tracks that was distributed was an argument how the natural rights of man superceded anything parliament could determine. they soon got a bunch of responses from towns throughout massachusetts about why we feel this is important and suddenly adams had found a network of communication that was independent of the royal government that allowed people throughout massachusetts to talk among one another, to

pp ÷ó bill: back to boston. we are working for more information to figure out what is happening on the campus of harvard university. a story that has been going an hour and 15 minutes. we know multiple police agencies have responded. that is local police and local fire, state police on the scene as well, trying to ascertain whether or not this is indeed a threat on campus at four different academic buildings. whether or not this is a prank. we have managing editor of "boston herald" on the phone. joe, good morning to you. >> good morning, bill. bill: you have three reporters enroute to the scene. have they gotten back to you on anything, joe. >> yes. bomb-sniffing dogs are now on scene. the fire marshall for the state is heading to the buildings. the four guildings -- buildings include the science center. harvard evacuated them on abundance of caution. this is finals week. this is up in the air what is going on. >> they have canceled finals for all students affected or have exams in the buildings itself in the h

we continue our coverage of that breaking news in boston. at least four different buildings on harvard university's campus have been evacuated. cambridge police saying there have been unconfirmed reports of explosives placed on the campus. here's what one student told chris jansing just a short time ago. >> i was in the dining hall and the college made an announcement that the finals -- just this morning's finals, the 9:00 finals have been cancelled. i think people overall were elated in a sense because it does take a stressor off, but as i said people are confirmed because it is a little bit, you know, it causes anxiety when one hears that explosive devices may be in places that you frequent. >> again, some of the first initial reports came out this morning at 9:00 a.m. about this. rehema ellis joins me with what's happening. i was following different tweets coming out and i noted

, that deadly attack on boston's legendary marathon shut boston down, it shocked us all, but boston came back strong and capped the year with some red sox pride. here's abc's john donvan. >> reporter: it was the week a fallen runner got the cover of sports illustrated. it started as that morning while innocence still held a sports story. >> and the battle for second is on. >> reporter: bearing the name of the city that has hosted it since forever. then, to have this break it apart. and with three people killed, one of them a kid, and many more badly wounded, the sports story became the worst kind of news story. >> get out of here! >> reporter: that left a hurt in everyone. >> this marathon bombing affected -- the violation of their privacy, of their enjoyment. >> did you take it as a personal wound? >> i didn't take it personally but i was hurt by it. >> reporter: but what mayor tom menino noticed that week, was how sports became a vocabulary used to address the hurt, how "the chicago press" used the simplest of headlines to say we're with you, boston. ♪ sweet caroline >> reporter: how

the boston marathon and the way that the scar that will now always be on the boston marathon i would argue has been minimized or in some ways in some respects sanctified by the people there. 500,000 people watched 20,000 runners from 96 countries, and could it have been destroyed this year. that has to be the biggest story of the year the fact that it wasn't destroyed and to me the boston red sox world series championship is just a part of that mosaic. >> the boston marathon is like a neighborhood block party. it's not the new york marathon. it's not l.a. it has such a uniquely neighborhood feel to it. everyone knows someone who is running the marathon. >> you sit on the curb and you watch. >> worst of 2013. what would you say? >> i think it could all be under the big rubric of the national football league. this is our most popular sport. the bullying was only one of many bumper cars in the nfl. this is a sport that careened from one crisis to the next in a way that has not been able to be contained by the sports page. these are front page stories whether you're talking about the con

washington, new york, boston. now we're just dealing with a little bit of snow in northern portions of vermont, new hampshire, also in northern maine. even upstate new york getting some snow as we speak. we'll zoom down a little bit closer and you can see boston, the rain now pushing out. still dealing with maybe a couple of flurries, a couple of showers. but nothing too major. as we take the storm hour by hour today, right around noon, you can see the snow basically in maine and then northern vermont, new hampshire. it pushes out by 9:00 tonight. looking clear for most of us. so give the flights a chance to catch up. a lot of delays yesterday and on into this morning. snowfall amounts, pretty impressive. we saw a foot of snow in upstate new york. north haven connecticut, about 7 inches. boston 6. central park 5 and chicago 4. a lot of snow fell with the storm. we're also going to see breezy conditions today. it's going to be windy for you in portland. gust toss 48 miles per hour. could see gusts of 27 in boston.

harry smith, nbc news, boston. >>> and that's our broadcast for this thursday night. thank you for being here with us. i'm brian williams. we, of course, hope to see you right back here tomorrow evening. good night. >>> good evening, thanks for joining us. i'm raj mathai. >> i'm jessica aguirre. our top story tonight, developing news. chained and trained to fight. new information about a suspected dogfighting operation broken up in the east bay today. the discovery came after animal control officers were called to a home in oakland where they discovered almost a dozen pit bulls. nbc bay area's cheryl hurd joins us. i understand, two of the animal control officers bitten? >> reporter: that's right. they're okay, but they were bitten. the dogs are being held at the animal control services in east oakland. 11 dogs in all. all of them pit bulls. now, the video you're about to see is of one of the most aggressive dogs. this dog bit two people including the executive director of animal control services. oakland police stumbled upon the alleged dogfighting operation around n

we're headed for boston. they're expecting eight to ten inches between providence and boston, and then west of boston they're expecting about ten to 15 inches of snow. massachusetts emergency management agency is preparing for a big storm. the first big storm of the season. we're told that they have alerted utilities and airports of the storm and the department of transportation is also preparing for a big cleanup. the road conditions are getting worse the farther north that we head. more and more snow sticking to the roads. we've had to drp our speeds. we are seeing some plows out already, and we are seeing the salt trucks. we know that this storm also is not just about snow. the massachusetts emergency management agency is telling people that they need to prepare for the possibility of coastal flooding and strong winds. this is usually about a four-hour trip, the one from new york city to boston. we're going to see how long it takes today. obviously we're expecting this should be slower going. it certainly

that is boston. the farther north you are, especially portland, maine, look at you. 6 to 9 inches of snow is possible. of course, farther back upstate new york could be 3 to 5 inches. let's talk about the system itself and what is expected. we have mentioned the morning commute and seeing that on the radar. the system starting to make its way into the northeast. now by the afternoon today, that is where we see things ramping up especially towards new england. keep in mind the system slowly going to be making its way up the coastline so it's starting earlier in new york city late in the morning for boston and making its way overnight and kind of in through maine. that is that key time frame. overnight tonight in through tomorrow morning is when a low is supposed to develop and with what that means, it means how much snow you're going to get. farther north of maine you get more and develops farther south, boston could more than we are currently predicting so we have to watch overnight where the system

we have "the boston globe" and the boston herald in our lobby checking on what we did overnight. community groups are marching to the police station every time a problem. it's a very dynamic environment local level. the mayor from portland talks bout cameras on their eyeglasses. i'llthat happens, it will, put the federal investigators back on the street. >> when that happens, will you to be arrested using google glass? >> that's an important part of this conversation. that information we're ollecting right now is exculpatory. everybody is looking at this as to use it to put me in prison. it's going to clear a lot of people. in time if you want to pursue the goals of time do what point in you stop that, what point in ime do you get a license plate connection that might clear someone of a murder charge. this cuts both ways. that.e have to understand >> you wouldn't have problems if normal citizens videotaped olice at all times in their action using google glass or phones? >> not at all. we have a court case on it in boston. i sent out a directive to my anybody hat if videotapes you

as a new york or boston or washington, d.c. the other point that i think is important to make is the suburbs are in effect the citing, meaning that suburbs today whether it is the outskirts of a washington or new york or atlanta or suburban new orleans, have many of the problems of an urban community. they have challenges with schools. they have a growing economic divide, they have crumbling infrastructure. they have challenges with respect to crime. in that i believe is an opportunity for a different and new type of political coalition, if you will, and that is the city not in opposite, but the city's plus the suburbs with the united front about policy at the state levels and state capitols, indeed, at the federal level. this new generation of mayors will have to confront and canned stancan'tstand on the side where recession has exacerbated. it has created a whoa new set of challenges. i hope new mayors will embrace this, not only on the local level but be a voice on the national level to work to close the economic divide. ind
