dave, has to have another family member probated if they re showing signs of mental illness. in order to have them probated by the court you have to put together collection of evidence, information, that s good evidence that the police department, the police chief was talking about yesterday when he said we have good evidence. what he was talking about is that the mother was probably starting to put all this have stuff together. lanza came in, lanza was upset. he couldn t believe that his mother would do this to him. and so, that s why he killed her, and then he went to the school. now, when he got to the school, dave, he couldn t get in, you know why? they had that elaborate security system they did not have the system when he first went to the school. and i think it started months ago, i don t think it just started this past week. dave: and just to be clear we have no word confirming any threats to the police, the school. that s right. dave: i live about 40 minutes away. my chi
beast, tina brown joins us. good to have you. we ve got a lot to talk about. i guess we should talk about it. i want to start by talking about the topic that s on your cover. steve jobs, how he droef apple to victory, how he changed our world. i think 20, 30, 50 years from now, i think we see this man as our thomas edison. he is not only our thomas edison. he s been in a way been our thomas edison, he s been our beatles. he has changed the publishing industry. he s changed the record industry. he has changed the cell phone industry, the computing industry, he s changed movies, he s changed the way we lived. he s changed the way we get information. and the most remarkable thing about his story and few commercials i remember 20 years later, i remember actually, i was actually in the house gym.
of the keys to his success. and talking about culture i promise i ll shut up. that brings up another great point. the stores have become a happening you know, i remember when they opened up the store on 59th. central park south. you can t even walk in there, it s so packed. then they opened one on the upper west side. my wife went in yesterday to get a cover for she couldn t get in. she said it was so crowded they would have to open another store. it s remarkable what this man has done. he had such a connection to people in a sense even though he s a remote, intellectual being. he has an incredible instinct for what people want and how they re going to use it. one of the things that i think emerges from the piece that we have which i admire him for, is his tremendous fearlessness. from failure he takes the next success each time. he s also willing to kind of blight his own products which takes incredible. the iphone cannibalizes the ipad. instead of thinking we don t want tha

it happened at reagan airport, right? unbelievably this was the second time it happened in two years. apparently it happened once before when a guy stepped out of the control tower, we believe they he forgot to bring his magnetic pass card with him, door was locked, he couldn t get in. they made mention of this on the air traffic recording. listen up. is there a reason it s not manned? i m going to take a guess and say that the controller got locked out. i ve heard of this happening before. first time i ve heard it. reporter: again, there are procedures in place, jon, as you know, for these kinds of events, an uncontrolled approach, they re trained to do it, but the risk is there s a lot going on on the ground at night, there s not a lot of air traffic, a lot of planes being repositioned, vehicular traffic. it poses a very dangerous situation. jon: deg mckelway at reagan international airport, thank you. jenna: some with the scare
