[applause] >> so it's an absolute pleasure to be doing this tonight. i have to say that i'm going to start with a confession. when i first got this book i thought i pretty much knew everything there was to know about elizabeth warren. i knew she grew up poor, i knew she taught law, i knew she became a senator, so what else is there? so by the end of the first chapter i reallies that the story i put together for "elizabeth warren" was a resume, the story that antonia put together is a portrait. it's not dry, it's riveting, it's human, she uses everything from interview speeches debates commentaries, she describes late-night tv appearances public condemnations, it's a really important book about a important public figure. so we're going to talk a little bit about the book and the things that you will discover when you read it, and you should read it because it's worth reading.
