platform in new york city was the new york city police department and its members, the public, the media, mayor giuliani, everybody felt a safer city was in it for them. so that shared platform was easy to create. los angeles more difficult the race tensions in that city his historically. so trying to get the african american community and the los angeles police department who had been at war with each other for 50 years to get on the same platform and see a safer l.a. was beneficial to both of them more difficult. it took seven years there instead of the two years here. >> rose: continue with the eight platform wes need to understand. >> well the platforms are the idea that one of the stories we tell is about the arab spring, the egyptian experience that the widely understood phenomenon through twitter, through the web how a platform was found where the government shut down most of the normal means of communication, the media, etc., they were able to find on that platform. the internet, twitter, where they could exchange ideas, where the rallies were going to be held and so there's an e

back from the years of absence on the new york stage. i do not know if there is any white people there. i do not know, but i have read it and heard there is a future. tavis: i will move on but i am troubled by that fact that which you laid out tonight was what you saw when you came here in the 1970's. it seems tragic that in 2012, not all whole lot has changed. >> it is smaller companies. again, mark morris, from very early, he was totally open. tavis: i want to circle back to "in paris." that is why you are in town. my research suggested, i will not say how much, but that you put a lot of your money into this production. what is it about this project that -- whenever people put their own resources, there is something there. >> if we brought this production to broadway, the script and the director who was unknown would be scrutinized from a to z. then we have to put ourselves on a very hard regiment and then open somewhere out of town and then go on broadway and perform eight weeks until you drop dead a poor people stop buying tickets. h

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

back in new york, when we come back, we're going to talk to mr. mike barnicle, right up there, he's sitting up on the green monster. at the top of the hour we're going to do some politics, as well. we've got senator scott brown and the woman challenging him and tightly now, elizabeth warren, in perhaps the most fascinating senate race in the country right now. >>> boston red sox -- >>> welcome back to "way too early" live this morning at fenway park in boston, massachusetts, for the 100th anniversary of this fabled old park. the first regular season game played here april 20th, 1912, right now i'm enjoying the view from atop of the green monster, 37 feet high. 310 feet from home plate. unlike any outfield wall in baseball. if you want to sound smart today tell your friends this structure, the one that would become the monster, was part of fenway's original blueprint but it wasn't painted green until 1947. that was the year advertisements were removed from the wall and green paint was added so it would match the rest of this green ball park. we're

but you're in new york, there's a lot of great architecture in new york, not like washington. a lot of great architecture. and art in new york. much of the art, of course, that's not in public spaces and architecture. behind a door that you've got to pay a fee to access, you know. great art in london, spain, all over europe, rome is singular to me. i just got back from rome. the city itself is a work of art. you are inside a work of art that is the expanse of an entire city. you know, and i think that in this country, when you're over there, you see they've got t the -- i only have glib words for you today, but they have the art thing down. they're spending a lot of money over there. and they're getting a lot of tourists over there. they're getting a lot of our money over there over the last many years because they have preserved that heritage and they've made art count. they've raised their children to believe that art counts. it's part of their culture and part of their heritage. and coming over here and we have what they don't have. we have the potential and typically -- we

even though she lived in new york most of her life, right next to new jersey, it's very strange. she apparently didn't know because if she did know that women had once voted in the united states surely she would have included it in her argumen as to why women should vote. abigail adams knew it. she mentioned it in a letter in the 1790s. it's puzzling how it is that stanton didn't know this. she also apparently didn't know that a black woman named maria stewart had written essays earlier in the any 20s, she was a school teacher, she had called for woman suffrage.17820s, she a school teacher, she had called for woman suffrage.20s, she was a school teacher, she had called for woman suffrag20s, she was a school teacher, she had called for woman suffrag820s, she was a school teacher, she had called for woman suffrage. stanton apparently didn't know. hi joe. i saw your hand. they were enfranchised during the revolution when new jersey wrote its state constitution, 1776, and they lost the suffrage in the early 1800s. and they lost it permanent. and didn't vote anywhere else. the whole e

and you described new york today to -- you say sound the alarm, there is a new drug epidemic in town and most of the city wants in on it. in certain circles of new york, it is regular table conversation. we have entered the golden age of self-medication. drugs have become like hair products or cosmetics. this is brain styling, not mind altering, and you have a serious point to make there, but what is the extent of what you see going on in new york? >> well, i mean, i think new york is the same town that brought you woody allen and brought you everybody having a psychiatrist. there not a great deal of stigma to being neurotic in new york. it is accepted to the point of maybe being desirable in certain circles. i think now that these medications are more common, new york is the place where people are going to be comfortable with it and going to be open about it. >> you make a point of saying here that this is brain styling, not mind altering. you make a clear distinction between the two, do you not? >> yeah. i think people when they have actual problems like anxiety, depression or inso

policies of new york state. they are more vulnerable to the damage done by into growth tax policies. new york city is so enormous and wealthy that it is possible for a large number of people to spend years in denial or not noticed the impact the policies have as a result of tax policy. upstate new york is more vulnerable to the damaging effects of a state tax policies and high marginal tax rates. upstate, right now the story is one of stagnation. of state did not have a high unemployment rate because there are not a lot of people hanging around upstate new york looking for jobs. a state did not have a real estate bubble because there were not a lot of people clamoring to buy houses in upstate new york. upstate new york has a lot of natural advantages. there are a lot of things about the cities in upstate new york -- syracuse, rochester, buffalo -- that many can tell you about. they have their own legacies in the era when there were richer and more dominant economically, but right now they suffer from a deep-seat
