FROM THE WORLD'S LEADING CENTE FOR FINANCE, THE ARTS, PUBLISHING, SCIENCE, RESEARCH, MEDIA, INNOVATION AND MUCH MORE, THIS IS 'METROFOCUS.

TONIGHT TRACKING POVERTY IN AMERICA'S MOST EXPENSIVE CITY.

YES, I'M MAKING MONEY, BU I'M NOT MAKING ENOUGH TO SURVIVE.

WHAT'S NEXT FOR THE NEX CHIEF TECHNOLOGY OFFICER

THE JOB DIDN'T EXIST UNTIL HAD THEM

THE TIMELESS STORIES, AND WHAT MAKES THESE GLOVES A GIFT THAT GIVES BACK?

FUNDING FOR THIS PROGRAM IS PROVIDED BY THE JPB FOUNDATION AND THE FORD FOUNDATION.

AND BY THE FOLLOWING - CORPORATE FUNDING FO 'METROFOCUS' IS PROVIDED B MUTUAL OF AMERICA, YOU RETIREMENT COMPANY

> THE DEFINITION OF POVERTY IS MOST OFTEN BASED SOLELY ON INCOME SO WE TALK ABOUT THE POVERTY LINE BUT HERE IN THE MOST EXPENSIVE CITY IN AMERICA, THERE'S A GROWING CONCERN THAT POVERTY NEEDS TO BE REDEFINED.

AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY RESEARCHER ARE CONDUCTING LONG-TERM STUDY CALLED 'TH POVERTY TRACKER.

'METROFOCUS' PRODUCER MARISA WONG HAS THE STORY

FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS A TEAM AT COLUMBIA'S POPULATION RESEARCH CENTER HAS BEEN CALLING 2,300 NEW YORK RESIDENTS EVERY THREE MONTHS TO ASK ABOU HOUSING, HEALTH, INCOME, AND MORE

THERE'S BEEN DECADES OF RESEARCH IN THE UNITED STATE TRYING TO COME TO AN IMPROVE MEASURE OF POVERTY IN THIS COUNTRY WITH THE IDEA THAT THE OFFICIAL STATISTICS THAT THE GOVERNMENT PUTS OUT YEAR AFTER YEAR ARE PRETTY INADEQUATE THEY'RE BASED ON RELATIVEL ANTIQUATED NOTIONS OF WHAT I COSTS TO GET BY, THAT WERE DEVELOPED IN THE 1960s

ACCORDING TO PROJECT DIRECTOR CHRISTOPHER WEIMER, USING ONLY INCOME TO DEFINE POVERTY MISSE FACTORS THAT AFFECT NEW YORKERS.

IN 2012, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMEN REPORTED THAT 21% OF NEW YOR RESIDENTS LIVE UPPER THE OFFICIAL POVERTY LINE -- UNDER THE OFFICIAL POVERTY LINE.

$23,500 IN PRETAX INCOME FOR A FAMILY OF FOUR ADDING THE COST OF FOOD, CLOTHING, HOUSING, AND MORE IN THIS EXPENSIVE CITY, WEIMER' TEAM FOUND THAT 23% OR A ADDITIONAL 170,000 NEW YORKERS WERE LIVING IN POVERTY IN 2012

WE KNOW THERE ARE PLENTY OF PEOPLE ABOVE THE POVERTY LINE, WHEREVER YOU SET THAT POVERT LINE, WHO ARE STRUGGLING TO MAKE ENDS MEET.

THANK YOU, SIR.

WE MET 36-YEAR-OLD AMRIA IN THE BUSY, CROWDED OFFICES OF THE BED STY CAMPAIGN AGAINST HUNGER.

A FOOD PANTRY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN BROOKLYN HE LIVES IN THE AREA, ABOVE TH OFFICIAL POVERTY LINE BUT BELO WHAT SHE NEEDS FOR HER FAMILY.

I'M A MOM WITH A BACHELOR'S DEGREE BUT WHAT I'M THINKING I' SUPPOSED TO HAVE, THAT'S NOT WHAT I HAVE I HAVE TO DEPEND ON WHAT CAMPAIGNED FOR MOSTLY MY SURVIVAL, MY KIDS' SURVIVAL.

HER HUSBAND MOVED OUT TWO YEARS AGO, MAKING HER A SINGLE MOTHER OF FOUR SHE HAS A FULL-TIME JOB WITH BENEFITS AND OVERTIME AND SOME ADDITIONAL INCOME FROM PART-TIME JOBS IT ADDS UP TO ABOUT $28,000 FO HER FAMILY OF FIVE TOO MUCH TO QUALIFY FOR MANY GOVERNMENT BENEFITS, BUT NOT ENOUGH TO GET BY WITHOUT HELP.

A LOT OF TIMES, LIKE I SAID AFTER I PAY MY BILLS, I PAY MY RENT, I PAY THE LIGHT, I PAY THE GAS, SOMETIMES I DON'T HAV ENOUGH MONEY AND NOW I HAVE TO WORRY ABOU BUYING PAMPERS AND, YOU KNOW PROBABLY GETTING PANTS FOR M SONS OR A T-SHIRT FOR MY DAUGHTER

WATSON SAYS SHE DOESN'T WAN TO LIVE IN PUBLIC HOUSING, S MOST OF HER INCOME GOES TO RENTING AN APARTMENT

I DON'T KNOW WHERE OR HOW THEY DEFINE POVERTY LINE BUT SOMETIMES IT'S AMAZING HOW I KNOW I'VE WORKED TWO OR THRE JOBS, GETTING MY PAY STUB OR PAYCHECK, AND BY THE TIME I PA ALL MY BILLS AND TAKE CARE O SOMETHING THAT ONE OF MY KID NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF, THERE'S NO MONEY LEFT TO BUY A GALLON OF MILK THAT'S POVERTY

THE POVERTY TRACKER STUDY I SHOWING THAT THE CHOICES PEOPL HAVE TO MAKE IN ORDER TO GET B IN NEW YORK CITY ARE WHAT PUSHED MORE PEOPLE INTO POVERTY

THERE ARE UNIQUE CHALLENGES TO LIVING IN A HIGH COST PLACE LIKE THIS THAT SHOWING UP IN PEOPLE'S EXPRESSED INABILITY T MEET THOSE MONTHLY MEANS

WHEN THE GOVERNMENT SAYS TO ME THAT WE CAN'T REALLY HELP WITH A LOT OF STUFF BECAUSE YO ARE MAKING MONEY TO LIVE, YES, I'M MAKING MONEY TO LIVE, BU I'M NOT MAKING ENOUGH TO SURVIVE.

> THE TECHNOLOGY AND DESIG THAT DRIVES 3D PRINTING IS HAR FOR SOME OF US TO IMAGINE.

BUT AS 'NJ TV NEWS' REPORTER MICHAEL HILL DISCOVERED, IT'S SKILL THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENS WANTS TO MAKE SURE TEACHERS CA UNDERSTAND WELL ENOUGH T ENGINEERS AND DESIGNERS.

INSPIRE FUTURE GENERATIONS O

WHO WOULD HAVE EVER THOUGHT THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE WOUL HAVE A WORKSHOP TO TEACH THE NUTS AND BOLTS OF 3D PRINTING TO A GROUP OF TEACHERS?

IT IS EXCITING.

IT'S EXCITING FOR THE TEACHERS IT'S EXCITING FOR STUDENTS

MADELEINE TREVINE TEACHES BIOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTA SCIENCE IN SUSSEX COUNTY SHE'S ONE OF NEARLY TWO DOZE TEACHERS WHO HAVE COME TO TH DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE'S ARSENA IN MORRIS COUNTY TO FINE-TUNE OR LEARN FROM SCRATCH HOW TO 3D PRINT.

WE'RE TRYING TO TEACH PEOPL HOW TO USE IT BECAUSE IT SEEMS NEW AND BIG AND SCARY.

OUR GOAL IS TO GET OUT THERE S WE CAN ENABLE ALL THE PEOPLE T FEEL LIKE THEY CAN JUMP IN START PRINTING, MAKING COO STUFF.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

YOU MAKE A DESIGN ON A COMPUTER, SEND IT TO THE PRINTER, AND LOAD THE MATERIAL

WHAT A 3D PRINTER DOES, I HAS A PLATE CALLED OUR BUILD PLATE.

IT EXTRUDES OUT THE PLASTI FILAMENT AND IT WORKS LIKE A HOT GLUE GUN.

IT BUILD UP 2D PLAYERS, MOVE THE BUILD PLATE DOWN, MAKE ANOTHER LAYER, AND KEEP GOIN AND GOING.

A COMPUTER SCIENCE AN ARCHITECTURE TEACHER AT BLOO FEEL HIGH --

I TELL ALL THE KIDS, ANYTHING THAT YOU CAN COME UP WITH, THA YOU CAN DREAM OF, YOU CAN HAVE AND HOLD IN YOUR HAND.

A FEW YEARS AGO, TH DEPARTMENT REALIZED AMERICA WA FACING A MAJOR SHORTAGE OF ENGINEERS AND SCIENTISTS DOD DECIDED IT COULD D SOMETHING ABOUT IT ONE THING IT COULD DO IS MAK SURE TEACHERS IN THE CLASSROOM HAD THE TECHNOLOGICAL KNOW-HOW TO INSPIRE STUDENTS.

IT'S A FARE FOR ME.

WE NEED -- A FEAR FOR ME WE NEED TO STAY TECHNOLOGICALL ADVANCED IN ALL AREAS FO AMERICA TO STAY COMPETITIVE AN KEEP THE FREEDOMS THAT WE HAVE

IT WON'T MATTER IF YOU'RE GOING TO OPEN A FLOWER SHOP.

YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO DO IT WITHOUT A TECHNOLOGICA BACKGROUND

THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR FOR A LONG TIME I THINK IT'S GOING TO NOT ONLY DRAW MORE KIDS IN, BUT IT' GOING TO FINELY TUNE THEIR SKILLS BECAUSE THEY'VE BEE INDOCTRINATED INTO A TELEPHONE MENTALITY.

AND THEY'RE ALWAYS PLAYING WIT THEIR CELL PHONES AND USING CELL PHONES THEY'RE LOOKING FOR SOMETHIN MORE, AND THAT'S WHAT 3D PRINTING DOES.

THE APPLICATION FOR 3 PRINTING SEEMED REMARKABLE A MECHANICAL HAND IN ONE CASE.

A SMALL VILLAGE OF HOUSES IN CHINA.

WE'RE TRYING TO GET THIS IN THE HANDS OF EVERYBODY TO LE THEM DEFINE THE LIMITS

THE TEACHER ALREADY PROVIDE SOME EQUIPMENT INSTEAD O LETTING THE DISTRICT BUY I SAVING MONEY

I'M GOING TO TELL THEM WHAT THEY CAN DO, AND THAT WILL GET THEM HOOKED.

HOPEFULLY IT WILL EXTEND BEYON JUST INTEREST.

EXACTLY WHAT THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE WANTS MICHAEL HILL FOR 'METROFOCUS.'

> FROM FLUSHING, QUEENS, T SILICON VALLEY, TO CITY HALL THIS IS THE JOURNEY OF THE FIRST-EVER TECH NOLL OFFICER JOINING US TO TALK ABOUT HER PERSONAL JOURNEY, THE LAUNCHIN OF DOT NYC AND BARRIERS FO WOMEN IN THE TECHNOLOG INDUSTRY WELCOME.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH IT'S REALLY A PLEASURE TO BE HERE THANKS FOR HAVING ME

THANK YOU WHY DOES THE CITY NEED A CHIEF TECHNOLOGY OFFICER, AND WHY NOW?

THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION SO THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER ROLES IN TECHNOLOGY AND CITY GOVERNMENT THE CIO IS THE CHIEFING IN OFFICER.

AND THEY TIP -- THE CHIE INFORMATION OFFICER.

AND THEY TYPICALLY RUN THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND OPERATIONS IN THE CITY WE'VE ALSO HAD A N NEW YORK CITY RACHEL HOUT, THE CHIEF DIGITAL OFFICER UNDER THE BLOOMBER ADMINISTRATION SHE WAS LARGELY FOCUSED AS PAR OF THE MEDIA OFFICE TO PROMOTE THE TECH SECTOR WITHIN THE NEW YORK CITY.

THE CHIEF TECHNOLOGY OFFICER I REALLY FOCUSED ON CREATING A COORDINATED CITYWIDE STRATEG AROUND TECHNOLOGY, BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE GOVERNMENT, TO MAK NEW YORK THE MOST TECH FRIENDL AND INNOVATIVE CITY IN THE WORLD.

ALL RIGHT ONE OF THE THINGS YOU'VE RECENTLY DONE IS LAUNCHE DOT NYC, THE FIRST-EVER CITYWIDE DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES, RIGHT?

THAT'S RIGHT.

THAT'S RIGHT

AND NOW PEOPLE, ORGANIZATIONS, AND BUSINESSE CAN LITERALLY BRAND THEMSELVES AS NEW YORKERS OR NEW YORK ENTITIES AND, IN FACT, 'METROFOCUS' RECENTL REGISTERED

GREAT GREAT.

BUT WHAT'S THE ADVANTAGE?

YOU KNOW, WHY DOES THIS DIGITA ADDRESS MATTER

YOU KNOW, IT'S REALLY INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT DOT NYC IS THE FIRST SORT OF INTERNE DOMAIN THAT ACTUALLY IS GOING TO BE GEOGRAPHICALLY BASED.

SO YOU HAVE TO BE A NEW YORKER WITH A PHYSICAL ADDRESS IN NEW YORK CITY TO HAVE A DOT NY DOMAIN NAME.

AND UNLIKE THE OTHERS WHERE YO CAN BE FROM ANYWHERE AND HAVE DOMAIN NAME, THIS BRAND YO HERE, CONNECTS YOU HERE WITH THE VIRTUAL AND GEOGRAPHIC WORLDS IN A WAY NO OTHER DOMAIN NAME DOES.

IT'S WONDERFUL ESPECIALLY FO SMALL BUSINESSES WHO WANT TO BRAND THEMSELVES AS A NE YORK-BASED COMPANY TO KIND O GET YOUR PRESENCE ON THE INTERNET AS A NEW YORK COMPANY I MEAN, NEW YORK IS A PLAC WHERE PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD COME WITH THEIR BIG DREAMS TO START A NEW BUSINESS, AND THIS IS A WAY TO SAY, HEY, I'M IN NEW YORK, I'M PART OF THE NEW YORK FABRIC ON LINE AS WELL AS OFF LINE

AS YOU KNOW, THE MAYOR THINKS THAT THE TECH INDUSTRY IS GOIN TO HELP ACHIEVE HIS PRIMARY GOAL OF BRINGING MORE EQUALITY TO THE CITY HOW DOES TECHNOLOGY DO THAT?

HOW DOES IT CREATE OR ACHIEV MORE EQUALITY?

THAT'S A TERRIFIC QUESTION.

YOU KNOW, I'VE JOINED FANTASTIC TEAM ONE OF THE THINGS I WANT TO MAKE SURE AND NOTE IS THAT I'M PART OF A LARGER TECH TEAM UNDER TH DEBLASIO ADMINISTRATION.

WE'VE GOT FOCUS LIKE DEPUT MAYOR ALICIA GLENN WORKING WIT THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, GROWING THE TEC SECTOR WE HAVE THE GENERAL COUNSEL, MAYA WILEY SHE'S WORKING ON THE BROADBAND INITIATIVE PROVIDING AFFORDABL ACCESS TO THE INTERNET FOR ALL NEW YORKERSER.

AND I THINK THAT WHERE TECHNOLOGY CAN HELP ON MULTIPL LEVELS, ONE IS WE CAN PROVID JOBS FOR NEW YORKERS THROUGH THE GROWTH OF THE TECH SECTOR WITH THE IDEA THAT WE WANT TO HAVE TECH SECTOR THAT TAKES ADVANTAGE OF OUR DIVERSITY, OF OUR WOR FORCE, AND THAT CREATES JOBS FOR NEW YORKERS, AS WELL AS THOS WHO COME HERE WITH THEIR BIG DREAMS TO START A NEW COMPANY.

WE'RE ALSO VERY FOCUSED ON CLOSING THE TECH DIVIDE.

WHEN YOU HAVE THIS MUCH CHANGE TECHNOLOGICAL AND ECONOMIC CHANGE, YOU HAVE THOSE TEC HAVEs AND THEN YOU HAVE THE TECH HAVE NOTs.

SO WE'RE VERY, VERY FOCUSED ON MAKING SURE THAT WE CAN EMBE THE EQUAL SITUATION IN EVERYTHING WE DO

YOU'VE BEEN A SUCCESS IN TH TECH INDUSTRY WORLD FOR OVER 2 YEARS.

HOW DIFFICULT OF IT FOR YOU AS A WOMAN -- DIFFICULT WAS IT FO YOU AS A WOMAN TO BREAK INTO THIS WORLD LARGELY STILL DOMINATED BIEN

YOU KNOW, WHEN I WAS STUDYING COMPUTER SCIENCE IN THE 1980s, I HAD STARTED DOING PROGRAMMING IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.

THAT WAS A PERIOD IN WHICH THERE WERE ABOUT 30% WOMEN STUDYIN THE COMPUTER SCIENCES.

THAT NUMBER HAS GONE DOW PRECIPITOUSLY OVER THE LAST 30 YEARS.

SO -

DOWN?

DOWN.

BY SOME ESTIMATES -- THERE ARE DIFFERENT REPORTS, SOME SAY 9% SOME SAY 12% I'VE NOTICED FEWER AND FEWER RESUMES FROM TECHIE WOMEN, AND I LOOK UP, AND I'VE OFTEN BEEN THE ONLY WOMAN IN THE ROOM IN MY MEETINGS FOR LAST 30 YEARS AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO WORK IN AN ENVIRONMENTER WHERE YOU WONDER WHETHER YOU REALLY BELONG THERE.

SO IF YOU IMAGINE IF YOU WENT TO A WORK EVENT AND YOU WERE TH ONLY MAN, RIGHT, YOU WOULD SAY WELL, MAYBE AM I IN THE RIGH BUSINESS FOR ME THAT'S BEEN A LON JOURNEY OF JUST MAKING SURE THAT I'VE FOCUSED ON THE WORK AND FIGHT FOR THE RIGHTS OF EVERYONE WHO CAN DO THEIR JOB WELL.

WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS WHO WANT T FOLLOW YOUR PATH

SO I WILL SAY FOLLOW WHAT YOU'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT AND BE OPEN TO NEW OPPORTUNITIES.

I HAVE A JOB NOW THAT DIDN'T EXIST WHEN I WAS IN SCHOOL I LIKE TO SAY THAT IN A WAY, THE WAY I FORGED MY PATH IS INVENTED EVERY JOB I'VE EVER HAD.

THE JOBS THAT I'VE HAD DIDN' EXIST BEFORE I HAD THEM.

LIKE THE CTO OF NEW YORK SO, YOU KNOW, THAT KIND OF APPROACH OF WHAT NEEDS TO GE DONE AND HOW CAN WE GET THAT DONE IS A WAY OF CREATIVEL LOOKING AT WHAT CAREERS YO SHOULD HAVE.

IF YOU FIND THAT YOU'RE REALLY GOOD AT SOMETHING, FIND A WAY TO USE THAT TALENT TOED -- TO ADD VALUE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE

GREAT THANK YOU.

> LUCINDA FRANKS AND ROBER MORGANTHAL FIRST MET IN 193 73 AT THE TIME, SHE WAS A 23-YEAR-OLD SELF-DESCRIBED RADICAL HIPPING AND PRIZ WINNING JOURNALIST HE WAS A WIDOWER NEARLY 30 YEARS HER SENIOR WHO WILL BECOME THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

NOT A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN, BU IT LED TO AN IMPROBABLE LOVE AFFAIR AND, IN TURN, A MARRIAG THAT HAS THUS FAR LASTED 3 YEARS.

IT'S CRANCLED IN -- CHRONICLED 'LOVE, MORGANTHAL, AND ME.

GREAT TO HAVE YOU.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU

MISS FRANKS, THIS BOOK IS A VERY INTIMATE MEMOIR OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP SOME THINK IS A BIT TO INTIMATE WHY DID YOU WRITE IT, AND WHY SO INTIMATE

I THOUGHT THAT MY HUSBAND PRESENTED A VERY STERN, TOUGH, RESERVED IMAGE THERE WAS MUCH MORE BEHIND THAT.

I WANTED TO CAPTURE THE HUMA SIDE WHEN HE CAME HOME, HOW HE SANG 'GIVE MY REGARDS TO BROADWAY,' TOSSED THE KIDS IN THE AIR, WA SILLY, WAS SHY, WAS A RANGE OF DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES.

MR. MORGANTHAL, YOU'VE NEVE WRITTEN YOUR MEMOIRS BECAUSE YOU SAY YOU ALWAYS WANT TO LOO FORWARD, NOT BACKWARDS

RIGHT

WHAT WAS YOUR RESPONSE WHEN YOU FIRST LEARNED THAT YOUR WIFE WAS GOING TO WRITE THIS BOOK AND SO INTIMATELY SO

WELL, YOU KNOW, I KNEW WHEN I MARRIED A WRITER THAT YOU COUL EXPECT THAT MAYBE SHE'D WANT T WRITE A BOOK

MISS FRANKS, HOW DID YOU, A I SAID EARLIER, YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF A RADICAL HIPPIE.

AND IN FACT, YOU WON YOU PULITZER PRIZE FOR A SERIES, SYMPATHETIC SERIES, ON WEATHER UNDERGROUND REVOLUTIONARY.

MR. MORGANTHAL IS MORE ESTABLISH.

FIGURE OBVIOUSLY HOW DID YOU OVERCOME THE POLITICAL DIFFERENCES IN TEMPERAMENT AND IN ISSUES?

WELL, WHEN WE FIRST GOT MARRIED, I THOUGHT THIS WA ABSURD BUT WHEN YOU'RE CAUGHT BY LOVE YOU'RE CAUGHT.

I SAW BOB CHANGING THE WORLD B WORKING THROUGH THE SYSTEM, BY GLIDING IN AND OUT LIKE A FISH AND SUDDENLY THE DEATH PENALTY WOULD BE WIPED OUT IN NEW YORK SO A LOT OF MY DESIRE TO PROTEST AND SHOUT WAS GONE THE VIETNAM WAR WAS OVER I WAS ABLE TO CHANGE THROUGH HIS TUTELAGE

DID YOU CHANGE YOUR POLITIC AT ALL AS A RESULT OF HER MORE RADICAL VIEWS?

I NEVER WAS AS CONSERVATIVE AS SOME PEOPLE MAY HAVE THOUGH I WAS.

I CERTAINLY LISTENED TO WHAT REVIEWS WERE THE DECISIONS AND CASE WER RELATIVELY SIMPLE.

THE IMPLEMENTATION WAS NOT

LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT A NUMBER OF THE HIGH-PROFILE CASES -- YO WRITE ABOUT A NUMBER OF TH HIGH-PROFILE CASES MR.

MORGANTHAL WROTE ABOUT BERNIE GOETZ, HE SHOT FOUR BLACK TEENAGERS IN THE SUBWAY.

HE SAID THEY WERE ABOUT TO MUG HIM.

NEW YORK CITY -- AND I REMEMBER, MOST NEW YORKERS WER OVERWHELMINGLY ON BERNIE GOETZ SIDE YOU DECIDED TO THROW THE BOOK AT HIM AND INVOKED A SECOND GRAND JURY WHEN THE FIRST REFUSED TO INDICT HIM ON ATTEMPTED MURDER WHY DID YOU DO THAT WHEN THERE WAS A RE-ELECTION COMING UP IN LESS THAN A YEAR, AND I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT YOUR INPUT IN THA WAS.

FIRST, WHY DID YOU DO THAT

WELL, I MEAN, THE DECISION TO DO IT WAS RELATIVELY SIMPLE.

I MEAN, HE -- HE DELIBERATEL SHOT FOUR PEOPLE SO THE IMPLEMENTATION WA DIFFICULT.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THE IMPLEMENTATION

WELL, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, GETTING IN THE GRAND JURY, THE FIRST GRAND JURY DIDN'T WANT T INDICT ON THE MURDER CASE.

THE SECOND GRAND JURY, AS RECALL AT THE TRIAL JUDG THOUGHT THAT WE COUL RE-PRESENT, APPEAL, WE WON O THE APPEAL WE HAD DIFFICULTY WITH THE GRAND JURY PEOPLE TEN TO THINK THAT GRAND JURIES ARE -

RUBBER-STAMPED.

RIGHT

BUT THEY'RE NOT THA THOUGHTFUL AND THEY TEACH YOU WITH PROBLEMS WITH THE GRAND JURY YOU HAVE PROBLEMS AT TRIAL.

FINALLY MISS FRANK, WHAT IS THE SECRET OF THE SUCCESS OF THE IMPROBABLE MARRIAGE?

HOW DID YOU OVERCOME THE TEMPORAL AND TEMPERAMENTAL DIFFERENCES THAT YOU TWO HAD

WE DON'T HAVE A MARRIAGE OF STEPS.

WE GO AROUND THE BLOCK A LOT O TIMES, BUT WE ALWAYS COME BACK AND MEET EACH OTHER.

I THINK WHEN YOU'RE IN LOVE AN WHEN THAT BECOME LOVE, YOU STICK BY A PERSON.

YOU KNOW, THE DIVORCE RATE IS SO HIGH BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE A BAD MONTH OR A BAD YEAR.

YOU FIND WAYS TO RENEW YOU MARRIAGE, REAL WAYS.

AND YOU DO RIGHT BY YOUR PARTNER, AND YOU DON'T GIVE UP

NOT GIVING UP ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

YOU BOEING HERE.

THANK YOU

THANK YOU FOR GIVING US THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE WE APPRECIATE THAT

> SOME OF THE NEEDIEST NEW YORKERS HAVE ALREADY RECEIVE VERY SPECIAL GIFT THIS HOLIDAY SEASON TENS OF THOUSANDS HAVE FRE WINTER HATS AND GLOVES COURTES OF A PHILANTHROPIST WHO SPEN MORE THAN 40 YEARS WORKING I THE GLOVE BUSINESS AS PART OF OUR 'GIVING BACK' SERIES, RICK KARR INTRODUCES U TO LARRY STANTON WHO SAID HE DIDN'T NEED A COLLEGE DIPLOM WHEN HE STARTED THE BUSINESS AFTER WORLD WAR II BECAUSE MAKING GLOVES WAS IN HIS GENES

I WAS BORN INTO THE FAMILY OF GLOVES I ALWAYS SAID I WAS BORN WITH GLOVE IN MY MOUTH.

MY GRANDFATHER STARTED THE BUSINESS IN THE LATE 1940s, I ENTERED THE BUSINESS AT THAT TIME, CONDITIONS I EUROPE WERE SO BAD THAT TH INDUSTRY IN THE UNITED STATE CONTINUED TO THRIVE.

WHEN YOU RETIRE, HOW DO YOU -- HOW DID YOU GET INTO DOIN THIS

AROUND CHRISTMAS TIME AFTER I RETIRED, MANY FRIENDS ASKED IF I WOULD CONTRIBUTE GLOVES TO THEIR FAVORITE CHARITIES, WHICH ALWAYS DID BUT THEN I BEGAN THINKING, WHY DON'T I MAKE A REAL CHARITY OU OF THIS.

AND I STARTED A CHARITY CALLED GLOVING WARMTH

STANTON HAS GIVEN AWAY MORE THAN A MILLION GLOVES TO PEOPL IN NEED OVER THE YEARS THIS WINTER HE'S GIVING AWAY 120,000 MORE PAIRS AND 40,00 HATS THERE'S A TAG ATTACHED TO EVER ONE OF THEM WITH STANTON'S HOM MAILING ADDRESS AND PRIVAT E-MAIL ADDRESS PRINTED ON IT STANTON SAYS THE PEOPLE WHO HE HELPED GIVE HIM SOMETHING IN RETURN WHEN THEY SEND HIM CARD AND LETTERS.

THANKING ME AND TELLING M HOW MUCH IT MEANT TO THEM.

AND THE MOTHERS WRITE AND WRIT LITTLE CARTOONS WITH GLOVES ON THEM AND IT'S VERY, VERY TOUCHING AND VERY HEARTWARMING TO SEE WHAT PRESENT LIKE THIS CAN MEAN T THEM BECAUSE THESE ARE -- WE HAVE SO MANY IMPOVERISHED.

HOW MANY LETTERS, HOW MAN EMAILS ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?

OH, MANY, MANY HUNDREDS O THOUSANDS.

DO YOU REPLY TO ANY OF THEM

I ONLY REPLY TO THOSE THA REQUEST A RESPONSE BUT I'M NOW GOING ENCLOS STARTING IN 2015 A LITTL PAMPHLET WHICH I AM IN THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING WHICH IS A PAMPHLET ON GOING THE EXTR MILE AND I WANT TO TEACH YOUNG KIDS WHEN THEY'RE YOUNG TO GO THE EXTRA MILE IN ORDER TO B SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE AND THAT DOES NOT MEAN MAKING MILLION DOLLAR, BUT WHATEVER THEY DECIDE TO DO, THEY'RE GOING TO BE THE TOP OF THEIR FIELD BECAUSE THEY'VE GONE THE EXTRA MILE THIS PAMPHLET IS THE FIRST CHAPTER OF MY BOOK CALLED 'GOING THE EXTRA MILE.'

AND IT'S A CONDENSE FORM, EASILY READABLE

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO YOU, GOING THE EXTRA MILE

WELL, I ACHIEVED WHAT I DID ACHIEVE IN LIFE BY GOING THE EXTRA MILE I WAS NOT A COLLEGE GRADUATE I WENT DIRECTLY FROM HIGH SCHOOL INTO MY FAMILY'S BUSINESS.

IT'S SO IMPORTANT IN TO'S LIFE GOING THE EXTRA MILE BECAUSE JUST -- A COLLEGE EDUCATION IS IMPORTANT.

BUT 50% OF LOW-INCOME KIDS THA GO TO COLLEGE DON'T FINISH COLLEGE.

THEY HAVEN'T MADE IT AND ARE NOT PREPARED TO GO OUT IN LIFE AND MAKE A LIVING.

AND THESE ARE THE KIDS I'D LIK TO PARTICULARLY ADDRESS, M LITTLE PAMPHLET AND EVENTUALLY MY BOOK, TOO

YOU'VE SEEN A LOT OF CHANGE HERE I HEAR SOME PEOPLE SAY POVERTY IN NEW YORK HAS GOTTEN WORSE SOME PEOPLE SAY IT'S GOTTE BETTER WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I THINK POVERTY IS STILL MAJOR ISSUE IN NEW YORK BECAUS LIVING EXPENSES, RENT, FOOD, E CETERA, IS SO HIGH HERE.

AND SO FOR THOSE PEOPLE ONLY EARNING THE MAJOR A LITTLE ABOVE, IT'S VERY, VERY TOUGH FOR THEM SO I DON'T THINK THERE'S BEE ANY CHANGE IN THAT AREA.

ON THE OTHER HAND, THE RICH HAVE BEEN GETTING RICHER.

BUT I DON'T THINK THAT'S ANYTHING TO BE PROUD OF BECAUS IT -- TOO MANY ISSUES RELATIVE TO POVERTY IN THE UNITED STATES.

STANTON BUY THE HATS AN GLOVES WITH MONEY OUT OF HIS OWN POCKET FROM A MANUFACTURER I CHINA.

THEY'RE DISTRIBUTEDED TO THE NEEDY IN THE U.S. BY A NONPROFIT CALLED KIDS FASHION DELIVERS STANTON SAYS HE'S SO IMPRESSED BY THE GROUP'S WORK THAT HE' LEAVING AN ENDOWMENT FOR IT IN HIS WILL

SO THAT THEY ACTUALLY WILL BE ABLE TO DISTRIBUTE TWICE THE AMOUNT THAT THEY'RE PRESENTL DISTRIBUTING FOR ME.

I THINK UNFORTUNATELY WE'R GOING TO LIVE WITH IT BECAUSE OF THE SOCIETY WE LIVE IN

A LOT OF WARM HANDS AND HEADS.

THAT'S RIGHT.

LARRY STANTON, THANK YOU.
