"In all my life I -have never been in a man's barn that was as dirty as the Harlem area was. You would need a pair of hipboots just to walk down the street.

The UN can't tell the United StateS or Canada to do anything unless they want to do it. All they can do is discuss the issues. I was always under the impression that groups 'in the UN' could gang up and force other countries to do things, but this isn't true," said Mr. Broadfoot.
