and a subway from and manhattan. he attended the meeting at the firm and then drifted back to his desk. like everyone else, and he heard the explosion at 8:46. it was more of a rumble than a bill, like an earthquake tremor or the sound of work and rolling something very heavy on the floor above. as we go through the next moments remember that we are not thinking of will as an autonomous human being. we see him instead the center of a complex web of inter connections with thousands of cables tugging him in different directions. if you prefer, think of will as a cork bobbing in the ocean passive, acted upon by every riptide and wave and a drop of film. carroll yelled was that? after a moment, chris hughes the arbitrage trader exclaimed there was an explosion and the other building. oh my god, carol's voice was panicked. oh my god! the explosion itself was just a side of will's peripherals division but when he looked through a window that normally offered a spectacular view of manhattan, he felt his stomach turn. the em

specifically manhattan. so you brooklynites don't feel like you've been offended in some way or complimented, however you look at this only manhattan. lots of pot smokers in manhattan. boston comes in number four. and then not to be left out, as the home of the marijuana dispensary, san francisco at number five. they should probably be embarrassed for not being higher on that list. how did april 20th become the day to celebrate pot? the "huffington post" said it started with a group of california high school students in the early 1970s who used to smoke a little weed every day at 4:20 p.m. since then it's crept into popular culture. all the clocks in the movie "pulp fiction" are set to 4:20. and a proposition to legalize marijuana in california was named prop 420. the latest app/cnbc poll shows 55% of those polled oppose the legalization of marijuana. up next here on the dr show, we're breaking down what the fraud case against goldman sachs means for the rest of wall street. will it expose all the dirty deal

he had been ahead of the rackets bureau in the manhattan d.a.s office. this guy knew he was going down. he knew he was going down soon. he was walking around throughout that plague year with the understanding that there was a gun, unit, aimed at the back of his head and was not a question of whether that gun was going to go off, but when. and in the mental anguish, i mean, you know from your own life, i know from my own life, when anguish is going on you do not perform the way you would otherwise perform. and this kind of mental anguish, knowing that he had all of this on his shoulders and is all going to come to not, i believe that that just tortured him and lead to all of the mistakes that i don't think it was his inability to adapt. i think it was his inability, you know, to do with the mental anguish. and that's because he is human. that's because he is a human. so that's what i think. yes, ma'am. >> do you believe that governor spitzer can rehabilitate himself politically? >> i believe that eliot, you know, is capable of most things other than beati

shannon, this would turn lower manhattan into an armed camp. it would be under martial law for the next several years for no reason. there is no need to do it other than eric hold earther has this fantasy of wanting the trials to be held. one of the reasons there is a delay in getting the trials is eric holder's law firm was representing a lot of teeth tapes and they were doing pro-- detainees and they were doing probono work and that is delaying the process. the supreme court has upheld the tribunal and this is the route to go. it the time for the president, we have been told by people close to the president, rahm emanuel has been quoted as p. saying the president wants the trial out of new york. time to step in and show eric holder what needs to be done. >> shannon: congressman peter king of new york. thank you for your time today. >> thank you as always. >>> volcanoic ash crippled air travel. we will talk to greg palkot on the phone and get an update on what he is seeing,. >>> and senator john mccain. is he a maverick or isn't he?vs we will

. >> all i am from the upper west side of manhattan. i can accept your premise about wingnuts but i've always referred to them as light wingnuts because the truth of the matter is it the zelig's the crackpots represent a bigger percentage of the republican party than they do of the left. you have sarah palin and now we have elizabeth geneina and the al qaeda seven. there's nobody in the democratic party who has that kind of leadership to win an election and is about bush. bush earned because the criminal tuck to the tactics he used. he's not a majority president. how can you pull the democratic party which is fairly centrist? there are no rockefeller republicans -- >> give me a chance to answer. that is a point that i get a lot. here is what i believe. we are not going to stop this cycle of tighter partisanship we are in which is getting increasingly extreme unless we stand up to the extremes on both sides. if we focus efforts on identifying extremely on one side of the ogle will only perpetuate the problem. the really is there are extr

chapter four of this book is women of the manhattan project. i cannot tell you the problem of cultural invisibility did when i came to read this chapter. you cannot find these women. i was looking for all this great juicy archival evidence of these women. they are there and i don't mean there are big players, they are women literally setting off the test site, they are there next to them, all these guys my dad venerated, they knew women and operated with them on a daily basis and i couldn't find a good to see a archival evidence about these women because of the weird thing about it is these women started to internalize this invisibility. they wouldn't talk about themselves in grandiose terms and so this the problem. i had a very hard time buying them so i spent a lot of this chapter for sort of trying to diagnose this dearth of evidence and try to diagnose this and visibility. the very last moment, historical moment in this book is really looking at women scientists with the rise of second way feminism. i don't think it's a puissance at the sam

mark, the line for republicans, of manhattan, new york. caller: this is the worst thing i have ever heard. for example, let's take right now -- iran does not have nuclear weapons. ok, hurry up, tried to obtain a bomb, said the dock here in this country, and we promise we will not retaliate with nuclear because you do not have nuclear weapons here. -- set it off here in this country, and we promise not to retaliate. this is the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard. i am devastated by the announcement. if iran were to attack us, would we give him sanctions for killing thousands here? because you do not have a nuclear weapon? you know that this man would not attack iran under any circumstances. host: let me read an article from the jump page -- "obama to limit scenarios in which the u.s. would employ nuclear weapons." they say that the most immediate test of the new strategy is likely to be in dealing with iran. it goes on to say that he dodged when asked whether he shares the view of israel that a nuclear- capable iran was as dangerous as

to those viewers watching this in the heartland of america, we are in my hometown of manhattan and i love it. it is important to appreciate that the dynamic you are describing which is far left liberals, progressives which is different to as corporal terms so i'm not going to use progressive but liberals believe criticizing obama on the left while the far right is convinced president obama is a secret socialist. the far left think he is a corporate sellout, so a real little reality check for everybody to get your heads in how screwed up our political debate is in this country. there are folks on the left to believe they hated president bush on principle and now they think president obama is a sellout and among the net roots the center is under attack work of this dynamic is going on. does the same dynamic we see in the public-- republican party. now we really hate the common-- in the white house. again benjamin franklin said we must all doubt a little bit of our own infallibility. what you are describing is i believe the mirror image of a lot of folks in the conservative populace of

through the great banking houses of manhattan last week ran wild eyed alarm. big bankers stared at one another in anger and astonishment. a bill just passed would rivet upon their institutions what they considered a monstrous system, such a system they felt would not only rob them of their pride of profession, but would reduce all u.s. banking to its lowest level. that appeared in "time" magazine in june of 1933. the system that caused so much concern was the federal depause lt insurance corporation. also known as the fdic. an institution that is successfully secured the deposits of generations of americans. in the end our system only works, our markets are only free when there are basic safeguards that prevent abuse and check excesses and ensure it is more profitable to play by the rules than to gain the system. that is what the reforms we've been proposing are designed to achieve. no more, no less. and because that is how we will ensure that our economy works for consumers, that it works for investors and that it works for financial institutions. in other wo

if a nuclear bomb went off in a major city, even if it was manhattan or washington, the effects would be global. kofi annan when he was secretary-general of the united states said that the reverberating economic effects around the world would push millions of people into poverty and create a second death toll in the developing world. if you think u.s. foreign policy was aggressive and annoying since 9/11 wait until you see what happens after a u.s. city goes up in smoke. this is really something that is a threat to the security of all countries. including countries that don't even have any nuclear weapons or material on their soil. it's something that we all have to work together to address. >> other questions? in the back. go ahead. >> hello. i'm from the news agency from kazakhstan. so you know as you know kazakhstan was the first country to give up the -- it's nuclear arsenal and shot down the nuclear testing sites. the question is is it plausible to view our country as a role model for other nuclear states in the question of disarmament and why? thank you. >> i would like to see k

it doesn't take a manhattan project to make a bomb. getting the nuclear material or making the nuclear material, if you're a state, is by far the hardest part. and is well beyond the plausible capabilities of terrorist groups. in particular, with highly enriched uranium you can make what's called a gun type bomb. the simplest type of nuclear bomb. which is basically slamming two highly eprich uranium together at high-speed. the bomb that obliterated hiroshima was a canna. -- canon. there's not that much more to it than that. this material, unfortunately, is easy to smuggle. and hard to detect. the nuclear material needed for a nuclear bomb would fit easily in a suitcase. hence, insecured nuclear material anywhere is really a threat to everyone everywhere. so where are the biggest risks? that nuclear material might be stolen and fall into terrorist hands? this is a global problem. it's not limited to any one country. certainly not just the former soviet union. as alex mentioned, there's enough nuclear material in the world to make a hug

the president heading to manhattan today. it is the same place where candidate obama made the same pitch. the opening bell marks the latest round in the fight over wall street reform with president obama in the center of the ring, a speech in new york city. >> the president will remind us what we have at stake as we move forward and hopefully get something passed out of the senate. >> the u.s. chamber of c commerce is weighing in. >> republicans want to help resolve these difficulties for our country. >> pressure is mounting to find common ground. >> i am optimistic we will get a bill. we are not there yet. i think we're closer than we have ever been. >> we want to big to fail to go away. >> the white house agrees. >> let's bring this thing in. it has been more than two years. >> democrats may force a test vote on monday. >> you have a great day. >> the list of the top movers and shakers is out. the fourth annual list of the most influential marylanders was awarded last night. 60 leaders in state, health care, and other endea

court of appeals in manhattan because once again the federal reserve lost their case against i guess it was bloomberg filing for freedom of act for information dealing with a $2 trillion loans during the crisis. and of course that was ruled in lower court and the court of appeals as upheld this and main argument the fed uses in the court as well as here in the hearings is that if we knew so much about these banks and where these loans are going to stigmatize these companies and banks and do harm to their reputation and make problems worse i sort of understood that argument even though i don't agree with it because in a way that challenges the whole notion of what the sec exists for. they want accounting procedures. they don't want to hide information and if they do if it's not out in front it deceives the investors so in a way the sec is fighting to get information to notify investors and if they don't do it right they get charged with fraud. but it seems to be perverse that the federal reserve takes a different position that if a company's in trouble or a bank is in trouble what we

conversation. >> how wide is manhattan island. i'm starting to worry about us tipping over too if enough people come in on a saturday night from brooklyn, the whole thing could go over. >> what is going on there. >> basically they're contemplating adding 8,000 new marines to the island of guam. he's concerned that that many people plus their families might lead to a tipping point he says metaphorically after the fact. here's what he said. i was not suggesting the i land of guam would literally tip over. having traveled to guam last year, i saw firsthand how this beautiful island is overburdened and i was simply voicing my concerns that the addition of that many people could tip the delicate balance. a metaphor also. >> that was very well performed as a dead pan metaphor, don't you think. >> with us now, associate editor and pulitzer prize-winning columnist for the "washington post," eugene robinson. eugene, please, please. >> you realize, mickka, you know me. it doesn't always raise the bar. >> oh, yes it does. we love having you

the empire state-building and all of midtown manhattan had vanished. in its place was black smoke and thousands of sheets of drifting paper. it gave will the sense of the magnitude of what happened. the smoke and debris must have traveled so, so thoroughly obscure the view. chaos erupted. people were jumping up. fear like a contagion. calm down. it is in the other building. like a vacuum, the windows drew will and brad and rick. the horrific spectacle of the smoke and debris was irresistible. but as the tide of people drew will toward the windows a frantic knocking came from the door through the small hallway. it was a decisive moment. i can't believe someone forgot that pass key will thought. the desperate banging escalated. will didn't want to answer the door but he happened to be the one closest to it. it placed an obligation on him. his connections with his friends pulled him toward the windows but the plea from the door pulled him in the other direction. it broke him away from the tide. he went to the hallway and opened the door. as he left the ma

mike tiabbi is outside the apple store in manhattan today. >> despite that good job news you just had, this is still a recession, so the question is whether or not the 400 or more people on line right now have the right idea about this ipad, a must-have device that will replace the lap top or just a really cool toy? social networkers, gamers, that sort of thing, and if it's just that, are people going to be willing to spend between $500 and $800 to get it? apple expects to sell about $200,000oday nationwide, the answer in the next months or so, when apple expects to sell nearly 7 million of them. between 5$500 and $800. that's still a big number in this recession. >>> the fbi is investigating death threats against espn reporter erin andrews. a report says aleast a dozen e-mails were sent. andrews was photographed by a strauker who posted photographs to the internet. >>> a man was struck by a car after stepping off a bus. the man is okay, but the video we're going to show you may be hard to watch. this happened several weeks ago and the man suffered several surgeries after he was throw
