Jim and Tammy Fay Baker and muhammed ali. Thank you for attending our session on this beautiful friday afternoon. Ill have to compete with the outdoors and hopefully well convince you youve made the right choice hanging out with us to talk about media and biography in political history. Between the four of us, we have written at least 17 biographies and it might be more than that. I was losing count because Randy Roberts has written so many. More than half of our total number, i think. So we have a lot of experience in this genre that weve been drawn to and have an affinity for it in some way or another. So before we begin let me introduce the panelists and as i introduce each of you if you could spend a minute or two telling the audience what was it that drew you to biography and what is it you love about the genre . And first we have larry masslon from the tish school of arts and as particularly interested in the history of broadway and comedy and written biographies. Richard rogers
Introduce the panelists, and as i introduce each of you, if you could just spend a minute or two telling the audience what was it that drew you to biography, and what is it you love about the genre .

And then, of course, what happens off stage or behind the curtain is equally fascinating as you try to make some sense out of wha
George floyd, the report concludes, was killed by as fixa, due to neck and back compression and died on the sce scene. Pressure on the artery impeded blood flow to the brain and weight on his back impeded his ability to breathe and examiners found the weight on the back, handcuffs, and positioning, were contributory factors because they impaired mr. Floyds diagram to function. From all the evidence, still quoting from this independent report this afternoon. From all the evidence the doctors said it now appears mr. Floyd died at the scene. Words cannot begin to describe the injustice that this report puts into plain text. The violation of police procedures, the abuse of the law, the appalling illegal homicidal misuse of government authority. And words cannot begin to describe the injustice that this has done to mr. Floyd, to his family, to his community, and to millions of americans who feel caught up, who feel judged by, endangered by, imperilled by these actions, and too many others l
