Reality Bites
War in the Middle East, a schizophrenic stock market and a humongous budget gap. That was the view from New York in the early 1970s. Veteran purse-mender Felix Rohatyn, chairman of the New York Municipal Assistance Corporation at the time, has suggestions for getting the Empire City out of its rut. Later, New York City Comptroller Bill Thompson says cutting recycling didn't help the budget. We'll also talk to the former CEO of IBM and find out how audiences are reacting to a new all-Asian production of "Flower Drum Song."
