In a big boost for downtown, financial services giant American Express has agreed to return to its battered headquarters after the city promised more cops and restricted auto access for the area around the building. The deal means that starting in April, at least some of the nearly 5,000 jobs American Express pulled out of the city after Sept. 11 will come back. "We had a very productive meeting with them and assured them that all of their security concerns and other issues would be addressed," Mayor Giuliani said yesterday. The company's decision followed a public fight between Giuliani and American Express over requests for enhanced police protection before it would agree to return to the World Financial Center. On Wednesday, the mayor ripped the company for making "demands that are entirely unrealistic," infuriating company executives. Yesterday, it appeared the company's threat of never returning prompted Giuliani and Mayor-elect Michael Bloomberg to act. One official said Gov. Pataki urged Bloomberg to give American Express chief executive Ken Chenault what he wanted. A Bloomberg spokesman refused to comment. The mayor's office and American Express wouldn't say how many police officers had been committed to patrol the area. A company spokesman would not comment on whether its executives feared acts of terrorism, crime or both. American Express used to occupy a million square feet in 3 World Financial Center, across West St. from Ground Zero, and had offices in 7 World Trade Center. After Sept. 11, it moved most of its workforce to Connecticut and New Jersey. Though it vowed to keep its headquarters in Manhattan, the company had refused to say whether it would move back to World Financial Center or how many jobs would return. In a memo to employees yesterday, Chenault said Giuliani and Bloomberg had promised him an "enhanc police presence" around its headquarters, including "roving and mounted patrols" and "a heightened police presence in the harbor." Traffic checkpoints The company also will get traffic checkpoints near its building, and parking will be prohibited on Vesey St. west of West St. City, state and Port Authority officials promised pedestrian bridges across West St., free shuttle buses from Bowling Green to the headquarters and other benefits. Dow Jones & Co., another World Financial Center tenant, said it wouldn't be able to return to its headquarters there until the spring or summer.

Veteran war correspondent Peter Arnett has gone from MIA to NBC. Nearly four years after being banished from CNN, Arnett is scheduled to appear on NBC's "Today" this morning and is likely to become a fixture of the network's war coverage once the U.S. attack on Iraq begins. While NBC and ABC correspondents have been ordered out of Baghdad by their management, Arnett is staying as part of a documentary team for the cable program National Geographic Explorer, which airs on MSNBC. The former CNN correspondent has already been filing reports for MSNBC. He'll also appear on NBC if U.S. attacks Iraq. "I think you'll have to get used to my ugly mug again," he told the Daily News yesterday from his hotel room in Baghdad. As he spoke, Arnett looked out across the Tigris River at the Iraqi presidential palace. "That will probably be the most bombed-out piece of real estate in the whole world in three days," he said. Arnett was a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who became a household name in 1991, when he reported for CNN from behind enemy lines during the first Persian Gulf war. But his 40-year career came to a standstill in 1998 after his involvement in CNN's story on Operation Tailwind, which alleged that the U.S. forces used nerve gas in a 1970 mission to hunt down American defectors during the Vietnam War. The story was vigorously denied by U.S. military officials, and retracted by CNN. Arnett, who narrated the report and took a byline in a Time magazine version, was used sparingly after the fallout over that story. He was let go when his contract ended the following year. Since then, viewers haven't seen much of the brash Brit. His involvement with Tailwind made him radioactive to other news organizations. But after he was hired by National Geographic to do documentaries in the region he knew so well, NBC News President Neal Shapiro saw an opportunity. "It's a perfect match of being an intrepid war reporter with a place that he knew," he said. "We won't burn him out, but you'll be seeing him a lot." As for Tailwind, Shapiro said it was "a mistake, and he paid a big price for it." Arnett said he is no longer bitter toward CNN for his firing. He said he always believed that experience would eventually lead to another major platform for his reporting. "Only in America do you have comeback stories," he said. "I was very fortunate that in my CNN career I was very close to the Baghdad story and I was very close to the Afghanistan story. My credentials as a journalist went beyond the error of being involved in Tailwind." But Alex S. Jones, head of the Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard, said Arnett's bid for redemption comes with great risk. "He's putting himself in great danger to win back journalistic respectability," said Jones. "He's got a lot of guts. This is the kind of bold gesture of derring-do that I would expect of him. He's making a calculated risk that he'll survive."

The Police Department's Internal Affairs Bureau is investigating a Staten Island family's claim that cops "brutally" subdued a 61-year-old Alzheimer's victim who became lost and disoriented, and ended up with severe cuts and bruises. The Staten Island district attorney's office also is reviewing the cops' actions. Frank Esposito's face, knees and elbows had large, raw patches three days after the incident, which occurred last Sunday about four blocks from his home in New Springville, where he had wandered after drifting away from his wife at the Staten Island Mall. His family said Esposito was held down by cops who stood on his neck and legs and repeatedly pushed his face into the pavement. Police said that Esposito had to be restrained for his own safety, and that the cops believed he was emotionally disturbed. They said he began fighting copswho had been called to the neighborhood on a report of a disorderly manas they tried to question him. But his wife, Louise, and two of her sons said that when they found a bloodied Esposito at St. Vincent's Hospital, police were insensitive and evasive. When asked last week what happened to him, Esposito, about 5-feet-10, sturdily built, with thick gray hair and blue eyes, said haltingly, "I fell right down . . . I fell on the floor. . . ." The incident began about 2 p.m. Sunday, when Esposito left the mall. His wife told mall security, and after an hour, police were informed he was missing. Meanwhile, on McVeigh Ave., a resident called 911 about a man who was ringing doorbells and behaving in a disorderly manner. Assistant Chief Eugene Devlin, Staten Island borough commander, said that a radio car and a sergeant responded, and that Esposito was disoriented and incoherent when cops talked to him. "He started to walk away, then he went at them, and they had difficulty restraining him," Devlin said. "The situation unfortunately deteriorated." At one point, there were at least eight police officers, two supervisors and an Emergency Service Unit at the scene. "I sympathize with the family, but looking at the total picture, the police acted properly," Devlin said. Louise Esposito said her husband "has never been aggressive. He was just looking for help. If the cops called to him, he wouldn't respond; if they grabbed him, I'm sure he was frightened and he jerked away from them. He carries a card in his wallet that says he has Alzheimer's." Some people on the street where the incident occurred were surprised by the police response on their block for one man who was not carrying a weapon. One resident, who asked that her name not be printed, said she saw "one cop standing on the man's legs, and one had his foot on his shoulder; he was lying still, moaning . . . 'I don't want to die like this, help me, please.' He was there . . . for 20 minutes until they came with these restraints."
