in boston, it was not that way. what we tried to show is this all went square or pear shaped in the 60s. when bobby kennedy went to hoover said, you have to get serious. now, at this point, hoover didn't accept there was the mafia. he was ordered by the attorney regime, you have to develop a strategy. they went after the mafia. it really didn't pick up until the 70ings. that's a national policy. the problem with national policies is they don't have regional differences, and in boston, the model did not fit. you had agents told, do who yo have to do to make the policy work. in the 1960s, what they did is they played god. they decided who to be killed. there was an irish gang lord in the 60s, and more than 60 men were killed, and whitey was lucky because he was locked up at the time. statisticically, that was a high chance he would have been a perpetrator or victim of the violence. instead, he comes out to a decimated landscape, it's wide open for anyone with opportunity and smart and viciousness, and he had all those

was selling on boston. the patriot movement was losing steam. it was in that fall that he instituted the boston committee of correspondence and a was a brilliant move because what he did is create a network of communication that had never existed before in which a 21 member committee in boston would write up the tracks the were then distributed to the 250 towns throughout massachusetts. and remember this is a time that massachusetts included what is now modern maine. this transformed the meetings of were devoted to discussing things like repairing roads and bridges and turned them in on the issues of the day. one of the first tracks that was distributed was an argument to how the natural rights of man superseded anything of the parliament could determine. they soon got a bunch of responses from the towns throughout massachusetts about why we feel this is important and suddenly adams found a network of communication that was independent of the government that allowed people for what massachusetts to talk amo

boston the model didn't fit. you have the fbi agents were told do whatever you have to do to make our policy work. so in the 1906s they decided who would be killed in the irish gang in the sixties. whitey was lucky. he was locked up at the time. statistically it would have been a high change he would have been a perpetrator or victim. instead he comes to a decimated landscape, it's wide open for anybody with opportunity and smart and vishnd and he had all of those things. he goes in and connelly is cynical. he's from the hood and he's saying the -- the other thing about the fbi. you get big salary raises based on your ability to make cases but tush informant. you want to have as inincredible. when john connelly recruits white you bull taber, he gets to say this guy is the leading member of the mob in south boston. it looks good for the fbi. the idea he was going give them anything on the match too -- the italians woptd have told whitey if his pans were on fire. his associate knew a lot about the mafia had been re

we put that on the agenda after the boston bombings. we have a meeting last week and many departments presented. we just ask for the police and fire to give very, very brief presentations on what we're doing to address special events but any of the rest of you who testified last meeting feel free to jump in from our prospective so i'm going to turn it over and here we go >> thank you and this is manage i think all of you know we're been doing a number of years now so we actually think about all this in advance. briefly our roll in the preevent is just bringing together the planning to help people connect and gather them up. we usually hold a planned meeting where we get everybody in the room and walk be through the plans so we don't have 3 different used for the same plot of ground and during the event we'll pull together people and provided cooperation. we'll pull together experience to test the plans in the assumptions. we did this last year for the america's cup and we've done a number of other experience that are relative to this it

in boston it wasn't that way. so one of the things we try to show is this all went square in the 60's when bobby kennedy went to jay edgar hoover and said you need to get serious. at this point he did not accept the mafia but he was ordered by the attorney general you have to sell up a strategy so they decided to go after the mafia that they really didn't take until the 70's. and like i said, that is a national policy. the problem of national policies they don't take into account regional differences and in boston that model didn't fit. but you have basically the fbi agents were told do what ever you have to do to make our policy work. so in the 1960's with the did is the plate god. there was an irish gang in the 60's, and whitey was very lucky because he was locked at the time and statistically though yet the high chance would have been a perpetrator of that violence. instead he comes out to a decimated landscape. it's wide open for anybody with opportunities and smarts and viciousness and he had all those things

line of the boston marathon. police sergeant bob ridge was just 60 feet away. >> it was just complete carnage. it was very bloody, very sad. a very sad time. >> reporter: while the fans look up to sergeant ridge, his heroes, his opponent, the wounded warriors. >> if you asked them, they'd say it was us. you ask all of our guys, we'd say it's them. >> reporter: veterans who lost limbs serving their country. rarely does fenway park play host to two teams that insist their opposition is also their inspiration. but one thing the first responders and wounded warriors agree on is just how special playing at america's most beloved ballpark is. >> i wouldn't even put this on the bucket list because you know it's never going to happen. >> here you go, young man. >> reporter: sergeant first class todd reed lost his leg 20 years ago during "desert storm." a die-hard boston fan, he found the perfect place to show his spirit. >> you get back out there and live your life similar to what you were living before. you just have a

together. >>> more on the breaking news out of boston. the jury is back in the federal trial against alleged mob boss whitey bulger. now he has been found guilty on different conspiracy and racketeering charges. let's go to our kristen dahlgren. she's outside the courthouse there in boston. kristen, what more have you put together? >> reporter: yeah, hi, thomas. among those racketeering charges were 19 separate acts of murder. according to the jury, it was proven that he committed or was co-conspirator in 11 of those killings. whitey bulger found responsible for 11 of the 19 killings that he was accused of. that's part of those racketeering charges. now, in the courtroom right now, the jury has left. the judge has instructed them that they don't need to speak. the judge earlier today was trying to make the decision on when she would release the names of those jurors. so we're still waiting for that. it's expected then that the victims' families will file out of the courtroom and courthouse and will address the media and then we should hea

families and victims of the boston bombings and i went back into the show and we did a big show at boston garden a lot of entertainers came back aerosmith was back there they got like new kids on the block everybody basically who kind of come out of boston but there was some confusion as to how they would. show the concert online some people thought it was an audio feed some people thought it was going to be a video feed and because i didn't have all the information. i chose to just do the show i said i'll just do the show for the people who are in the room and unfortunately the people that were watching it wanted to see it at home felt you know they felt kind of bamboozled out of being a part of this wonderful event they didn't get to see it that was very frustrating for people and and therefore it was you know. people kind of lashing out towards me saying like why didn't you allow your performance to be a part of the show so as part of my tour i'm going back to boston i'm doing a big show and i'm giving one hundred percent of my proceeds to the one fund so my way of saying to boston you

a jogger found his dead body in the woods of a boston suburb, his wallet missing. almost all of boston saimed connection to bulger. >> we're here to announce criminal charges have been filed in the death of stephen rakes. criminal charges have been filed in the death of stephen rakes. >> reporter: on friday, in a bizarre twist, officials announced they now believe rakes' murder had nothing at all to do with buller. one of rakes' business associates, 69-year-old william camuti, apparently owed him so much money, he decided to kill him with cyanide. camuti pleaded not guilty. >> we allege that this defendant, mr. camuti, intentionally put poison in the victim's iced coffee, drove around for several hours with mr. rakes in his car, and then dumped mr. rakes' body in a remote location. >> reporter: in a mob trial already full of surprises, this one almost beyond belief. rakes' tragic story ended the same day "whitey" bulger's defense team rested its case. members of this jury, if they've been following the judge's instructions, don't know any of this has even happened.

the attack on boston is the more clear example. the challenge for us as individuals like the tsarnaevs is and they do not hit our radar. they do not travel and communicate in the same way learn what they need to learn the internet and become radicalized of the internet. from that perspective, it poses a real challenge. as would brief the threat, overall, i would say it remains persistent. it is increasingly complex and diverse bit -- and diverse. >> first of all, always good to be here. thank you for another great event. i want to commend matt for the great job he has done. but also, i think people should understand modern government. it is a really big deal for a current and former to sit next to each other. a lot about matt's confidence as sit next to a guy who can say anything the hell he wants. glad to keep them close. [laughter] i agree with his assessment of the threat. i would add a couple of small items. we have actually done, would've talked about the threats and other places that are terrible in the world. we have to reme

the end of the 2013 boston marathon was anything but. two bomb blasts, the second exploding right in front of the forum restaurant. >> how much do you think about that day? >>. >> i would be lying if i didn't say every day. >> on that day in that moment, there was no time to think. the forum staff immediately began helping victims. four months later, the forum is the last of some 400 affected businesses to reopen. >> people keep asking when are you going to reopen? >> are was there a moment where we thought we would never get this done some. >> there were a few. >> after a near total remodel of the first floor, the forum opened on thursday night. on hand to help, the rebirth brass band direct from new orleans. leading a mini parade from the marathon finish line. former patriots linebacker matt chatham came on race day to cheer on the runners and soon one of the many spectators who carried heather abbott to safety. >> we were going off. she was smiling and walking great. she was healthy. nothing can be better. >> abbott lost her lower leg

what makes you think she went to boston? well, the doyle case started in boston. maybe she's going back to old locations trying to hunt him down. if he had us in his crosshairs, she wouldn't run. she'd take the fight to him. pack up this stuff. i want to be out of here in 48 hours. open it. liam, something bothering you? none of our other suppliers can get stuff this good. she's too good to be true, and you're too blind to see it. shut it. get in the car, the second one. i'll take care of her. right. you always ride in the second car. why? because the first car takes the hit in an ambush. are you going to... take care of me? yes, i am. good. hey, hey. i need to ask you something. mm-hmm? you never ask me about my, you know, about my business, about valhalla. why is that? i just... assume you'll tell me when you're ready to tell me. well, uh, there is something i want to tell you. ok. i was gonna get you the ring, but, uh, you said you're not the marrying type. oh... it's... it's beautiful. look at me. i am valhalla. i have no idea what kind of life we're gonna hav

don dahler is at the federal courthouse in boston for us. don? >> reporter: scott, whitey bulger sat stoic and emotionless as the clerk read the word guilty again and again and again. afterwards his attorney jay carney spoke to the media. >> mr. bulger knew, as soon as he was arrested, that he was going to die behind the walls of a prison or on a gurney getting injected with a chemical that would kill him. >> reporter: over the nine week trial federal prosecutors argued bulger was one of the most vicious criminals to ever walk the streets of boston. they said his rise from common crook to mob king pin was made possible because he was protected as an f.b.i. informant who supplied information on rival mobsters. that prompted many of us once loyal top deputies to testify against him including john martorano, a convicted hit man who spoke to "60 minutes" steve kroft in 2008. >> i'm not a judas. i never informed or ratted on nobody. if i could have kill him, i would have killed him but he wasn't there. that's what i think he deserves. >> reporter: wit

fled boston in 1994 after a tip from a corrupt f.b.i. agent that authorities were closing in. he spent 16 years on the run. most of that time on the f.b.i.'s most wanted list. when agents finally caught up with him and his girlfriend in 2011, they had dozens of guns and 822,000 dollars stashed inside the walls of their california apartment. tommy donahue's father was killed by bulger while he was giving one of the mobster's targets a ride home. >> he killed my father in 1982. i was only a little kid. to finally hear that and hear a guilty verdict, it was a good feeling. it was a very good feeling. >> reporter: bulger will be sentenced on november 13. now he is appealing. he claims he was promised immunity in return for protecting one of the prosecutors from a mob hit. the judge, scott, would not allow that to be brought up at trial. >> pelley: bulger was an informant for the f.b.i. back in the 1970s while these crimes were being committed. what does that tell us about the f.b.i. office in boston at that time? >> it has been a real black

have still had involvement remotely even though he wasn't actually in boston at the time. you know he did he does not have any foreign connection. with him. day when he spoke with him after his surgery just call him for a few minutes and ask him how he's doing after his surgery that's just around i'm curious how he's doing. and so there was never anything sketchy that he brought up about hammarlund or the brothers at all to you it was never mentioned at all even though you knew him at the gym. never talk about what happened when he was killed do you have any idea of how many f.b.i. agents were actually there during the interrogation. when there was three of the damned until eleven thirty pm of the twenty first because they came upon one thirty pm so the question him for four hours hussein which is his friend she was with him when they came to the house it was three boston agents who went inside to the house with abraham and one local agent was saying outside of the apartment. let's go over what the police narrative has been. first they said that he was armed with a gun tha

a few days ago boston red sox owner john henry bought the "boston globe" for the bargain basement price of only $70 million. what is going on here? why will these foes succeed while others have failed. joining us is our own julia boorstin. why will they succeed where others have failed in. >> i think the question is how do you define success? one thing jeff bezos makes very clear in his letter about this and it was also in the press release is that he's not investing this just as a financial endeavor but he sees this as supporting journalism. he says "i understand the critical role the post plays in washington, d.c. and our nation and the post values will not change." he talks about the importance of the fact that the internet has changed every part of the news interest and it needs to expand and innovate. he has a lot of success using technology to transform the distribution of content. it will be really interesting to see how he applies that approach to newspapers and to the post. >> no question bezos is a digital genius. they're losing advertisers and they're losing readers to the in

and she sailed off to boston. and nathaniel and grizell knew she was going to her death and she did, too. she was hanged in may of 1660 and she was hanged from the gallows when the wind blew through her skirt -- very weird to have a woman hanged -- when the wind blew through her skirt and shivered a little bit in the breeze somebody said she hangs like a flag. and some deals said she hangs like a flag for man to do justice by. as that happened it was the last of the hangings in boston. now, over there by the farm, which you may have seen as you came in a walking through the garden. you may have seen some big farm buildings there is obium, african name, young man standing here maybe 15, 16-years-old and is hearing the news that as a division of 1680 of all the possessions of nathaniel sylvester he's going to be shipped to boston, away from his community and away from all his friends. so he goes to boston and the only way -- because his life is hard to parse out -- the only way that we know he tried to free himself

and that happened, it was the last of the hangings in boston. now, over there by the farm which you may have seen as you came in walking through the garden, you may have seen some big farm buildings, there's an african. young man standing here, maybe 15 or 16 years old, and he is hearing the news that he, at the division in 1680 of his, of all the possessions of nathaniel sylvester, he's going to be shipped to boston away from his community and away from all his friends. so he goes to boston, and the only way -- because these lives are so hard to parse out -- the only way that we know that he tried to free himself is from a tiny dry note in an account book. it says one pound sterling paid for the horse that obium ran away with. now think this through. was the young black man on a horse galloping wildly, what's he doing? somebody's going to stop him, and they did. they took him to oyster bay, long island, and there he met a woman called rose. he stayed in slavery for the rest of his life. he died sometime after 1757. a long life, 1680, 1757. so w

and boston beer needs to compete with them too. okay. so if not boston beer, then who? well, anheuser-busch reported on the same day. and while the company didn't blow away the numbers, bud actually missed the street's earnings estimates. the in a way, it did something more impressive. anheuser-busch, the company behind budweiser, and beck's along with numerous other small brands reported a mixed quarter. yet the stock roared higher anyway. bud delivered a 12 cent earnings miss off of $1.05 basis. that's not so hot, right? but at the same time, the company's revenues came in higher than expected with 3.9% organic growth. and what happened? stock popped. it jumped from just under $90 to $95.71. and then it climbed another couple points to $97.94 the day after. ultimately radic lly rallied. why did bud catch fire on what many people would consider a miss, a bad number? some of it has to do with the volume is surprising people. one of the key metrics and beer is the volume. bud has been raising prices. it seems the price hikes haven't done much to hurt demand. meanwhile, b

>> there were no tanks in boston this is the most fearsome of vehicle that the boston police used in the ian hunt. it is about as scary as the armored trucks that move cash to and from the neighborhood bank. john: notes carrier? i saw pictures of the camouflaged huee with a turret on the topic is like the people at nbc even like it to. talk about the and essays by may agree that they lied to us. >> does the nsa collect any type of data at all? 1 million hundreds of millions of americans? >> nosair. john: it turns out the real answer is yes but he lied about it. >> to support the data gathering? >> if you have a problem that people and congress should have a problem with themselves because they write the laws because they are clear in specific. >> it is weird they break up and say oh my god there's gambling. what did they think we were writing these laws for? john: so much other stuff i hate about my government. data mining they areot listening to individual calls to stop the terror. >> i am for the constitution the first time we have seen a general warrant because that is flatly bann

still had involvement remotely even though he wasn't actually in boston at the time. you know and he does not have any foreign connection. and he never spoke with him the only day when he spoke with him after his surgery just call him for a few minutes and ask him how he's doing after his surgery that's just around i'm curious how he's doing. and so there was never anything in scripture that he brought up about hammarlund or the brothers at all to you it was never mentioned at all even though you knew him at the gym. never talk about what happened when he was killed do you have any idea of how many f.b.i. agents were actually there during the interrogation. when it was three zero down until eleven thirty pm of the twenty first because they came at one thirty pm so the question him for four hours hussein which is his friend he was with when they came to the house it was three balls to be agents who went inside to the house with abraham and one agent was saying outside of the apartment. let's go over what the police narrative has been first they said that he was armed w

john henry, the owner of the boston red sox earlier this week announced that he was buying the boston globe. arob kushner who is also an internet mogul owns the orange county register. bezos is famous for resisting short-term pressure and he's very customer-focused. so this insulates the post from any of the pressures that a corporation would have publicly traded corporation would have in the way it stewards the paper. >> suarez: he is a man who has understood how to use the internet as a commerce vehicle. perhaps as well as anybody on planet earth. is that a good fit for a newspaper ownership in the 21st century? >> yes. the readership of newspapers is going online. it's going mobile. newspapers have held on to their readership if you look at total audience much better than many other media. according to scarborough data, 59% of people 18 to 24 read newspaper media content every week. this is a surprising number to people who think that newspapers have become irrelevant. but they are encountering that media on facebook and social media and on digital devices, on mobile devices so und

there are more drugs in stouth boston and more heartaches in south boston than any other section of the city, and yet there were people that clung to that myth. whitey bulger spent his entire criminal career creating that myth that he was a good bad guy, a gangster with scruples. but gangsters with scruples don't rat out their friends and they don't murder women. those are the only two things he disputed. he says he did not kill two women who are among the 19 women . he doesn't care about the other stuff. he knows he's going to die in prison. we received letters he wrote from jail after his arrest in 2011 in which he said, i know i'm going to spend time in jail, i didn't kill those women, and i'm not a rat. he's not trying to get acquitted, he's trying to get even. host: "whitey bulger: america's most wanted gangster." first call from massachusetts. go ahead. you are on with kevin cullen of he boston globe. they -- y question is, if they charged him with tax evasion and bookwalking, he's already 83, he would have died in jail. but if these prosecutors opened the door to everything, abso

>> since boston, yes. >> reporter: since the boston bombing business has increased about 30%. they have 200 dog teams across the nation and expect to have 24 by the end of the year. the trainers are all former members of the military or law enforcement. they protect everything from financial institutions to professional baseball games. >> the presence of an explosive detection and can really make people feel safe. it's a great deterrent if people want to bomb a location. if they see a dog, they're going go somewhere else. >> reporter: the pentagon spent six years and $19 million but they concluded that the best bomb detector is still a dog. >> if you took a machine and tried to search all that luggage as farther fast as i could search it with one dog, i'd beat you every time. >> reporter: robert has trained mary to detect a wide variety of bombs. most of these dogs failed as guide dogs because they were too energetic or failing at detecting bombs. labs in particular have a strong food drive which is why food reward training works so well. basic training takes about 12 weeks. >
