Return to Story IndexCUBA POLITICS
BUT AFTER A FLURRY OF ACTIVITY...THINGS HAVE BEEN MUCH TOO QUIET FOR MANY CUBANS HOPING FOR CHANGES THAT WOULD DIRECTLY IMPACT THEIR POCKETBOOKS. HERE'S MORE. MANY CUBANS SAY CHANGE UNDER PRESIDENT RAUL CASTRO HAS NOT COME FAST ENOUGH. BUT DRIVERS OF AN AGING FLEET OF COLLECTIVE - AND LARGELY ILLEGAL -- TAXIS AREN'T COMPLAINING. THAT'S BECAUSE OFFICIALS THIS WEEK SAID THEY'D LIFT A DECADE-OLD BAN ON NEW TAXI PERMITS. "I'm really happy", SAYS THIS DRIVER. "It helps us taxis and improves transport in Cuba" IT WAS THE RARE PIECE OF GOOD NEWS AS THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY MET FRIDAY - THE FIRST SESSION SINCE CASTRO'S ELECTION IN FEBRUARY. SEATED NEXT TO AN EMPTY CHAIR RESERVED FOR HIS ABSENT BROTHER FIDEL, RAUL CASTRO TALKED ABOUT SOME TOUGH REALITIES. HE WARNED PLANNED SALARY HIKES WOULD BE SLOW IN COMING, DUE TO THE GLOBAL FOOD AND OIL CRISES. SOT/RAUL CASTRO "It's my duty to be honest, it wouldn't be ethical to create false expectations" he said. HE ALSO ANNOUNCED PLANS TO PUSH BACK THE RETIREMENT AGE BY FIVE YEARS. SOT/CASTRO "Today's reality is radically different and requires us to extend the active labor life of citizens," HE SAID. OVER THE LAST FIVE MONTHS, CASTRO HAS ELIMINATED SOME UNPOPULAR RESTRICTIONS, ALLOWING CUBANS TO OWN CELLPHONES, BUY DVD PLAYERS AND STAY IN HOTELS. HE'S VOWED TO GIVE MORE LAND TO PRIVATE FARMERS AND IN A MAJOR IDEOLOGICAL SHIFT, SAID WORKERS WOULD SOON BE PAID ACCORDING TO WHAT THEY PRODUCE. BUT THERE'S STILL NO DATE WHEN THE REFORMS WILL BE IMPLEMENTED. AND OTHER, WIDELY ANTICIPATED CHANGES NEVER MATERIALIZED. CUBA ANALYST HAL KLEPAK SAYS HARDLINERS ARE SLOWING THINGS DOWN. SOT/HAL KLEPAK "I have no doubt about it, I have no doubt that there are people in the party and very high up in the state apparatus who are not happy with the speed with which reforms is taking place."

Kennie Bass/Eyewitness News: So, what has you all stressed out. Is four dollar a gallon gasoline making you worry about the family budget?

Skincare expert Johnson's wants young women to take a few moments and pamper themselves with a new line of adult skin care products. They've launched an online campaign designed to help you deal with today's hectic life. Ana Ortiz/"Melt Away Stress": We're working such long hours we really don't have the time to sort of go out and get pampered, if you will. So, it's nice to come home, draw a nice bath, it's nice to have a little in-home spa. You know, it's great. It's been really enjoyable. Kennie Bass/Eyewitness News: Ortiz says she's pushing the lotions and oils because she believes in the importance of taking care of yourself. Ana Ortiz/"Melt Away Stress": You don't have to spend four hundred dollars at a spa, or you know, a hundred dollars on a lotion...whatever.

Return to Story IndexYANKEE STADIUM
YANKEE STADIUM IN NEW YORK CITY WILL HOST THE ALL STAR GAME ON TUESDAY, AND BE CLOSED DOWN AT THE END OF THIS SEASON. HERE'S A LOOK BACK AT THE ICON.. When you first walk in, its not SO much the sight, the smells, or the sounds of the stadium that get you, Its just that there IS so much of it. (:08) SOT: Derek Jeter 49:05 the first time I came here everything just seemed larger than life. (:03) Butt to... (cover edit with broll tape 1 at 33:35 tilt down from clouds to wide OR 19:00 pan of stadium from outfield) 50:06 it can be a little bit intimidating. (:02) SOT: Phil Pepe (cover both bites with library tape LT 9 - @ 21:27:21 - wide shot looking into the stadium, probably from atop a neighboring building, closing thing to aerial shot in that era nice shot of whole stadium) 4:08 when it was built it was the taj mahal, the last word in ballparks. It was the largest. (:05) butt to.. 4:18 You start with that. The size. (:02) Track 2 (cover with library tape SX 476 - @ 1:25:13 - at the end of the entry a photo of the exterior of Yankee Stadium then library tape LT 412 - multiple wide shots with interior faade in view as well as full grandstands) Yankee stadium opened on april 18, 1923. and it took just three innings and one swing of the bat by the games greatest player for it to be renamed. (:08) SOT: Phil Pepe (New York Daily News sportswriter 1967-91) 5:19 isnt it wonderful they came up with the name the house that ruth built. To this day 80 or 90 years later its still the house that ruth built. Everybody knows babe ruth, everybody knows Yankees stadium. (:11) Track 3 (cover with library tape LT252 babe ruth appearance, then LT5 Lou Gehrig's speech, then LT 212 Don Larsen perfect game last pitch, then LT 26 and bring up nat Roger Maris hit home run # 61) Ruth's blast was just the first word in a volume of the games greatest history. Lou Gehrig's farewell speech in 1939. Don Larsen's perfect world series game in 56. and Roger Maris' 61st home run in 61. (:13) (Nat break of maris home run call "he did it" courtesy WPIX) Track 4 (cover with library tape LT 8502 - @ 15:51:00ish - reconstruction of the stadium in 1973, then LT5 or LT10 Reggie Jackson last of three home runs in World Series, then aaron boone's home run) Even after a complete renovation in 1975 there was Reggie Jackson's three straight world series homers in 77. And finally Aaron Boone's shot to again crush the Red Sox in 03. And of course, all those world series wins. (:14) Sot: Derek Jeter (Won four World Series with Yankees) (cover after first sentence with broll tape 1 at 00:57:07 then 56:16 pan from dugout then 30:19 pull from world champs sign to yankee stadium sign on dugout (let that go over giulians first bite to edit) 53:02 it starts with when you are leaving the clubhouse you're going down to the dugout and you've got the joe dimmagio sign that I touch every day and then you get out here on the field and the electricity and the noise. (:09) SOT: Rudy Giuliani (former mayor of New York City) 12:08 the team made the stadium. the stadium would be another stadium if it weren't for all the world championships, all the pennants, all the great moments. (07) butt to... 12:30 it posseses more of the great moments in baseball than almost a combination of all the other stadiums (:05) Track 5 (cover with broll tape at 11:02 from sky and flag down to monuments OR 16:00 push of retired numbers) But while the Yankees made the stadium great, other greats have made the stadium legendary. (:05) Sot: Tony Morante (Yankees Stadium Tour Guide) broll tape 1 at 48:32 The first papal mass in the united states, 30 professional championship fights, college and professional football. Soccer, boxing, circuses, rodeo, negro baseball. (:10) butt to... (cover edit with video of 1957 billy graham event from news library ) 48:46 Billy graham crusades, jehova witnesses, reverend sun yung moon. A lot of events. (:05) Track 6 (cover with library tape LT4038 Army vs Notre Dame then NF36/ LT5132 then last play of 1958 NFL game Giants and Colts, then LT3073 Muhammad Ali Ken Norton, then pope benedict and then nelson mandela from news library) Even those events were often extraordinary. Both the Notre Dame "win one for the gipper" game and the Colts-Giants NFL Championship, called the greatest game ever played, were held in the Bronx. And Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano and Muhammad Ali all fought on the same field that three popes and a newly freed Nelson Mandela prayed on. (:20) SOT: Jimmy Breslin (Pulitzer prize winning columnist) 4:49 the ballpark is not built of cement. Its built of memories. (:04) (cover first bite with rest of mandela from last track) Butt to 10:39 the cement flashes a memory to me, I didn't think it was alive, it is for these occasions. (:05) SOT: Giuliani 8:18 it says something historically about new york. (:02) butt to...(cover edit and second bite with broll tape 25:30 pull out from subway to stadium) 8:28 it's become a very important part of what nyc is all about and it's the place you would think of of where to hold an event that would signify new york city.
