ann arbor pumps out an incredible amount of technology of every time. battery, life sciences, clean tech, pure technology. it's just a font of i.p. it's falling on fallow ground. first you've got the challenge we talked about, risk taking. but more spornl, an incredible lack of capital there. the average size venture firm in the united states is 250 million. the size of our firm. our current fund. the average size fund in michigan is 39 million, and not -- they're worried they're not going to raise another one. they are there and we partnered in a place like silicon valley with small early-stage funds in states like michigan to start companies out of universities like university of michigan. we want them to take it through its first steps. we'll come in as the idea gets formed, get on a plane, spend some time coming down to ann arbor to grow. having that piece that gap, funded for firms of that size would make a huge difference for all of us in unleashing something we've already invested in as americans. so i applaud that effort. i think that will be we

and so he made a later speech at ann arbor explaining that we, instead, should move mutual assured destruction as a way of deterring the other side and, of course, we would be deterred as well from engaging in a nuclear war. but had the unfortunate acronym m.a.d. but proved to be sane instead. bob was highly organized. he used to look at written material. he preferred written material to canned briefings, and he would write on them his barely legible lefthanded scrawl, but those of us who worked with him gradually became able to decipher those and they always made a lot of sense. in fact, so much so that i subsequently myself adopted that same approach of inside and outside the defense department of taking written material, scrawling comments on it and sending it back. i think bob had planned to stay only four years, and that reinforced his natural tendency to be -- to limit socialization. he made a mistake, i think, and he admitted it to me afterwards, by not speaking at any of the military academy graduation commissioning ceremonies, and he said, part of the reason was, he'd only planned to

>> guest: i was both an english and history major in ann arbor, but i worked four years on the michigan daily and, i think, as much as anything, that was the central fact of my college years. c-span: when was the first time you can remember seeing strom thurmond in person? >> guest: the first time i can remember seeing him in person, i believe, is when i went over to my first judiciary committee meeting in the late summer of 1979. i had moved up here from raleigh, north carolina, where i worked for the news and observer to take the beat for congressional quarterly that has been available, principally, to someone with a legal background, which i have. i had heard of him when i was growing up, but in traditional northern terms, that this was an old segregationist who was somebody that we didn't like very much. so i was kind of anxious to see what does this man look like that i had heard about and also, of course, knowing that when he was rather old he married someone quite a bit younger than he was and had four children -- so the combination of everything. at the time ted kennedy was chai

[applause] >> thank you very much for joining us here at ann arbor.one thought that i had, unicom in the course of your presentation, i don't have any strong reason to disagree with your assessment that this may have been the wrong strategy, strategy of bipartisanship may have been the wrong strategy in hindsight, but once i did like to pressure on is how much should the obama administration have known in advance that this would've been the wrong strategy? because you know, i think one needs to make a distinction between strategies, looking forward even if one may not come even if optimal strategies looking forward may turn out to have been the wrong strategy looking backwards in hindsight. because, for example, in general one could always have unexpected events emerge that make the originally optimal strategy the wrong strategy, and of course the most obvious thing here is the emergence of the tea party movement and the dramatic changes in congress that happened with midterm elections. so wondering if you could speak about that. i think the critique
