james patterson, a huge author and friend of mine, mark sullivan, i'm sure mark is not happy. i have another friend, shelley king, with a book coming from hashat, who is not happy. but the question i have to ask is, amazon.com and hashat have a disagreement. the authors are saying amazon.com put my book out, fair enough, but why are they saying, hashat, use your best efforts to sell my book. just get it up on amazon.com and say yes. >> why did you just collapse? >> putting the author aside from it, amazon's whole thing is that they are consumer e century eccentric. >> amazon says the customer comes first. so you are making a great point. they are not coming first. on the other hand, amazon's answer to that is, and they said this on their website, go look some place else then. we are happy for you to go someplace else. not only that because we don't want to hurt authors, but we'll chip into a fund to help guests. we'll chip into a fund. >> is it a genuine offer? >> yes. >> what did hashat say? >> we need to give authors some of the money they may have lost. >> there is, you say

i think there will be a lot of us, i think, i think i've read that mark sullivan will do a book. i'm looking forward to reading that. so i think the more that, again, if we start from the premise that telling stories matter, that when people come to know whether through a book or in their neighborhood or in their school, a key person, ma that is a powerful thing and that changes minds, then the more books and written about this the better. >> host: certainly telling, telling stories as we were talking about is one of the things that really transforms a society. and i guess -- >> guest: i devote a chapter to a screenwriter, academy award-winning screenwriter of milk. when the supreme court, the whole benefit of the style, an incredible draw. you have evidence about parenting and science, psychedelic of all this stuff. this would be perfect if we could televise this and it would really educate people who might be on the fence about this issue. of course the supreme court said no. it was very frustrating because for the people -- i thought it was a great public education opportunity

markings. but the results showed that henry sullivan's gun was not the murder weapon. scene analysts then turned their attention to the van dusens' classic red pickup truck found behind henry sullivan's apartment. as they examined the vehicle, there was another bizarre incident in this already unusual investigation. >> we are approached by a white male subject who identifies himself as william deparvine who announces himself to us as the owner of the truck and said that he had purchased it the day previously. >> deparvine lived in the same apartment building as henry sullivan, and he said he bought the truck from the van dusens just the day before. he said the van dusens placed an ad for the truck in the local newspaper. deparvine went to look at the truck, bought it, and said the van dusens later delivered it to his apartment. he said he paid them $6,500 for it. and when they left, he never saw them again. most of deparvine's story could be corroborated, but there were several discrepancies. >> what is he doing with a bill of sale for $6,500 when van dusen is telling
