This. But first, with some background, heres Eyewitness News reporter rob nelson. Its a move that would impact about 400,000 residents in about 180,000 apartments throughout new york city a national ban on indoor smoking in Public Housing across the country. If thats what they need to do to keep everybody healthy, from getting cancer and all that other stuff, thats understandable.

[dramatic conclusion] his blindness didnt stop the orchestra from letting him be as much a part of it as any other kid. [whistles and applause] you can see the result for yourselfmagical. [ticking] youve probably never seen anything as adorable as a fivedayold elephant. But this story is more about her mother. Her name is mpenzi. She is the large lady lending a helping trunk. Mpenzi didnt grow up in the wild. She was an orphan and was raised here, at an orphanage for elephants in kenya. These kids have all lost a parent to poachers, mainly. And here theyre cared for by the gentlest men youve ever met. Not only do they spend all day with their elephants; when its sleep time, they bed down r
