I was thinking about a project in berlin and studying what the city had done in the 90s after the wall came down. There were fascinating things they were doing to mark the wall and the different moment in history. I was putting together an independent study with a professor that fall, then 9 11 happened.

Flint that it was safe to drink. Its my opinion but i find this fairly infuriating. Well have that story tonight. Its broken late today.

This is not a totally unprecedented move by a president ial frontrunner. This sort of thing has happened. We dont know how it will affect his lead or the overall course of the race.

We didnt expect to have any news from flint. Both of those broke late in the day.
