[applause] thank you all for coming. i have to say first i am honored that mark asked me to be part of this world trends from ann arbor where we went to college and we are both editors at the college newspaper. i knew then that mark was from the area like i am, but i didn t know his passion to write history and the stories here can that leads to my first question which is what led you to want to write this book? remember you calling me when you were starting to work on it and said i want to write a book about detroit and so do i. but this turned out to be a very different book than most of the others. i said that a little tiny bit when i went out to lunch the first time and you were one of the first people, thank you first of all for doing this but i guess i have always been drawn to detroit. i thought for the longest time that it would turn out to be a novel, that seemed like the way to go. when i came back in 2009 for rolling stone i decided to do a piece on the auto sh
we see going forward that there s not going to be much change at all, you know, at least for us as a service. can i ask a quick follow-on to that one about what at least superficially may seem to be a bit of a contradiction. if the marine corps remains focused primarily on the pacific, but i think at present most people would conceive of most crises not initiating in the pacific. certainly, there are other places in the world that seem more likely to erupt and require rapid crisis response. so is that a contradiction? are two special purpose [inaudible] enough? how do you reconcile that? you know, we re still going to be active of in other parts of the world. you know, my last life i was the centcom j5, and i used to say, you know, speaking of sentedcom centcom, you may be finished with centcom, but centcom s not finished with you. that doesn t mean we or the rest of the joint force is going to draw down precipitously anywhere else in the world with. you can go a lo
other and justice. did you ever imagine you would actually cause such a thing? not in a million years. they uncovered an almost unbelievable truth. it all made sense. none of us knew what happened that night. this all made sense. somebody seen it. somebody knew. all rise. now, they just had to get someone to believe them. oh, my god, we re losing. oh, my god, we re winning. oh, my god we re losing. we ll face whatever is happening. this was it, for sure. i m lester holt and this is dateline. here s keith morrison with graduation night. in the suburbs outside detroit, michigan, in the summer of 2009, a divorced mother of three named mary evans was poking around in one of her favorite places, facebook. you can look up what everyone is up to, where are they at today, are they successful, did they take the wrong path? dear mary, no idea that innocent poking into her past would drudge up a shocking truth, long buried. i was stunned. it was unbelie
xfinity sports sunday, lorenzo neal back for some more football. 49ers opening the season in arlington against the cowboys, where you rushed to get to your seats. plenty of 49er fans screaming to get in there. that s crazy, isn t it? demarco murray carries. skuta forces a fumble. 35 yards for the score. great defensive play by skuta. no doubt. did a great job stripping that ball. murray you have to carry that ball all i wap. heads up play, get the ball, let me take it the other way for six. 7-0, niners, just like that. 7-3, niners, after a dallas field goal. kaepernick using his feet to keep the play alive. a beautiful throw to anquan boldin. a nice job by the senior receiver. and then first and ten. kaepernick gets stripped and tripped and stays on his feet and finds vernon davis for the 29-yard touchdown. what a job on keeping his feet. he gets tripped, he slips, he moves and he s still able to throw a laser down the line. vernon says i ll catch it once, no, three,

[laughter] this turned out to be a different book than others we red now. i sensed that a tiny bit when we got lunch. you were one the first people i talked to about it, and thank you,
