Robert De Niro was the target of a robbery that occurred at his rented apartment in New York City this week, the actor's publicist has acknowledged.
Following reports of the movie star's encounter with an intruder who allegedly broke into his townhome on Manhattan's Upper East Side early on Monday morning, Stan Rosenfield, a public relations representative for De Niro, issued a brief response noting that the Oscar winner would not be commenting further on the incident.
"We are not making any statement at this time about the robbery at the temporary rental home of Robert De Niro," Rosenfield said in the written response to Monday's break-in reports obtained by CBS News.
The story of America can be told through the lyrics of folk music – songs of the Great Depression, the civil rights era, and the social revolutions of the 1960s. As folk singer Pete Seeger put it in 1967, "A song isn't a speech; a song is not an editorial. If a song tries to be an editorial or a speech, often it fails as a song. The best songs tell a story, paint a picture, and leave the conclusion up actually to the listener."
