Extra, Extra

- What happens when a 12 year old covers the Tribeca Film Festival (hint: she chats with Tom Cruise and sees Giuliani, whose politics she doesn't agree with!)
- That Red Hook drug ring - the one where the gangs would calls parts of the projects "Peyton Place" and names like that - made $50 million a year
- The police deny there was any DNA evidence linking killer bouncer Stephen Sakai and one of the Brooklyn murders he allegedly implicated himself in
- Man, former police commissioner Bernard Kerik is still being investigated for corruption over the "gift" of a $240,000 home renovation
- Mayor Bloomberg's idea to create a DNA/fingerprint database for immigrants isn't really feasible
- And good luck with the traffic, all of you heading out of town for Memorial Day Weekend!
