I hope you will go see that exhibition. Andrew dolkart is the curator for that exhibition, and he has a very long history with new york city landmarks and architectural history. I think this has gone off now, has it . All right. Andrew is a good friend of longstanding, we like to say, rather than old friend, but we do go way that. This is one more lecture at the Skyscraper Museum, which has been going on in a relationship now for probably nearly the 17 years since the museum was started. Andrew is always there when you call on him to talk about new york city history or speak about yet another of his new books and new publications.

York city history or to speak about yet another of his new books and his new publications. He is an exemplary historian and someone who has a long and deep history with new york city landmarks, having worked in his youth at the commission on the research staff, having been a consultant to them, having written many a designation report, having authored the first guidebook to new york city landmarks, and in the years now since he has been at columbia, heading the Historic Preservation program at the graduate school of architecture, planning, and preservation. He has been a friend and colleague of everyone who cares about the history of new york and the history of architecture.

Why did you call your new book the girls in the balcony . The balcony is a wise about any of the National Press club. The institution until just 20 years ago. And win in 1955 the men decided that they would let anyone into cover to report on events, they put it in a very narrow, extremely uncomfortable about any at the far end of the ball room. Guest but just 20 years ago i was standing this that balcony. We could not ask questions, we were not allowed. It was, um, it was frustrating. And so one of the three women in the New York Times bureau told Scotty Rustin one day that she would not go there anymore and two other women, myself and Eileen Shanahan who covered finance and high economics, said that we wouldnt cover assignments there. Its very difficult, you know, because the newspaper business used to be kind of like the army.

I know that sounds very highminded and academic in the ivory tower and so on but this kind of exercise, you are not directed at those who are just really stuck in loathsome hatred. You are appealing to the broad middle center to educate. We are not underresourced in terms of Educational Programs about the holocaust and the world anywhere in the world. We shouldnt give up on it of course. Apparently im going to stop in the second. [laughter] yeah promises promises. Partly i made this program to change stereotypes because they are novel thing so highly emotional. We are going past a church one sunday that the sign outside saying 50dollar bonus for signing.

It is, therefore, with deep sadness and regret that i must inform you that, according to this new data, flight mh370 ended in the indian ocean. Charlie for assessment in the ongoing developments of the missing airliner, joined by consultant Steve Ganyard and bob orr. First, you have to find a piece of debris and, working backwards over time, scientists will tell us thousand currents and winds moved debris around and will try to find literally an x on a map and well put robotic vehicles underwater, perhaps, sonar, pinger locators will be towed through the zone and if we get lucky may find the primary wreckage field but thats far from certain and people need to settle in here, charley, while this is big news, we are not close to knowing what happened to the airplane.
