The Fate of Pakistani Lawyers
Many of the protesters getting arrested by the government in Pakistan are lawyers, and human rights activists say their fate is uncertain. Find out how New York lawyers are trying to help their counterparts in Pakistan. Also, a Daily News reporter talks about last night's fatal police shooting in Brooklyn. Jimmy Breslin remembers Norman Mailer's 1969 New York campaign for mayor, and a debate on the pros and cons of pigeons. And finally, some striking TV writers for the Daily Show, Conan and the Colbert Report let off some pent up comedic steam.
