the article said that asian americans have a life expectancy of 91.8 years, compared to 79.7 for the rest of the population of new jersey. i know new jersey, and if you ask me, living there, it just seemed that long. the article reminded me of my friend, ozzie segerberg, who wrote a book in 1982 called "living to be 100." i think until you get close to 100, living that long doesn't seem like that attractive a goal. i found out that there are more than 70,000 people in the united states over 100 years old. research has shown that having a sense of humor and laughing a lot helps people live a long time. to tell you the truth, i doubt it, but that's what they say. they also claim that laughing and having a sense of humor reduces stress. i don't know about that, either. sometimes, i think people who laugh a lot just don't understand. you can change your eating habits, get more exercise and stop smoking, but few people can acquire a sense of humor if they don't already have one. i've been lucky-- i don't eat right, i don't exercise much, and i'm an irish american, not an asian american. b

aside from that, i know there are many constituencies in the city, whether african-american, latino, asian, pacific islander -- communities that may not feel they have a representation in a public policy forum. my background as a community organizer and someone who has believed in having that access and bringing people together is going to be something i will bring to this commission, and hopefully, they will keep me accountable and also allow me to listen to all types of issues to be able to come up with the most sound policy decisions that impact their community. supervisor campos: any other questions? just a final question, if i may. is there a specific goal or objective or objectives that you would like to focus on if you were appointed? >> no, i think coming from the background that i have, my goal is to be able to be that unique sounding board for the commission. because of my background as a former city employee he, i do understand the bureaucracy and the need to be able to make decisions in a public forum, but i also come from a background as a community organizer, and i think that

koreans were so mysterious, and a lot of the very negative stereotypes that americans have about aiz -- asians, incute bl communists, you know, all this whole garbage was always applied to north koreans, and i wanted to show them as real people. so i portrayed these six people who i still know, and they're wonderful people. >> host: did you find yourself being stared at? >> guest: no. that's what's very interesting. they're taught not to stare, and they don't stare at you which is one sign of how controlled the environment is. in china i'm stared at, in south korea i'm stared at. not north korea. they don't make eye contact. >> host: were you relieved when you got out? >> guest: yes. always. but it's not nearly as scary as you might think because once you get a proper visa as opposed to walking across the river, you're chaperoned every moment and, you know, i knew not to say anything that would get me in trouble or the people who were guiding me. >> host: how long have you been working on "nothing to envy"? >> guest: it's embarrassing to say, but it was about seven years. i started interviewin

guest: because wall street induced them to do so, these european, asian banks. you are right, and different circumstances, you have universal banking model where you do not have a glass-steagall separation. but you also had, traditionally, a lot of supervision and oversight over the activities they were getting into. these banks also got involved in buying up these dubious securities. one of the most famous cases we saw in recent months involve goldman sachs. it created a collateralized debt obligation, these complicated instruments built on mortgage assets, which were designed to fail. made up of securities that were based on bad mortgages, designed to go down, so that short sellers on that side of the transaction could win. of course, on the other side of the transaction was, among others, a german bank that did not seem to realize it was being played for a patsy. so you had a lot of things like this occurring at these wall street firms. these so-called quants were former physicist that were simply creating products that no one could understand. it is true, th
