there is one prisoner narrative, escape narrative, that describes being on the florida coast for a good time to get to that blockade line, hiding in the home of a southern unionist. this memoir from the 1890's, his great pain in telling the story is that they waited too long to try and touch ace with this person who is critical to his survival. he passed away just a couple of years earlier. so this prisoner was not able to say thank you in the way that he thought he ought to. >> i am from portland, maine. of the merit -- the mayor -- the narrative in andersonville seems to be the mistreatment of prisoners by the prisoners, by the gangs that operated there. i have not come across that in accounts of other prisons. i am wondering whether that was unique to andersonville or whether this is just a part of the story that may not have been included, certainly and firsthand accounts of what went on in these prisons are quick to her referring to "the readers," perhaps? that is one of the great mythologies of the prison. he handled it in a way that hollywood did not return her film uses the raid

and the narrative fallacies that go along with it. to the end of their lives, former prisoners of war were stalwart defenders of their experience. what is most extraordinary about these men is how many of them went on to lead ordinary lives. it is to them and their memory that we must chart new paths of discussion to better include them in how we talk about the war. the first avenue is the discussion of policy. primarily, exchanges. the political system which governed exchanges occurring over the first two years of the war was exploded over one central idea. the black soldier. the lieber code, established in 1863 is, in a sense, america's first civil rights policy. it unequivocally announces that black soldiers are equal and to be treated equally. and it is that question that stops full-scale exchanges for the remainder -- very nearly the remainder of the war. other excuses are thrown out, but that is the reason exchanges have stopped. that is the reason that giant prisons appear late in 1864, primarily in the south but likewise in th

(woman) most of japanese music is based on narrative. in other words, in japanese music, the text is primary for most pieces. and the clarity of the singing voices is very, very important. the narrative is actually a pathway through the music. so, in a sense, the narrative is shaping the form, and this in contrast to many musical styles around the world where repetition of particular phrases is quite important. this is quite different from that. [music continues] the text of the song "yugao" is quite melancholy. yugao is a woman in "the tale of nji," and after genji has an affair with yugao, she actually dies in his arms because of the vengeance of lady rokujo. "holding a fan permeated with faint scent "of fragrant incense, the owner of the house "offers genji a blossom of the evening faces "glittering with pale dew. "in a brief dream, he is bound together with yugao, "a flower ever more beautiful. when he awakes, he feels keenly the chilly winds of midnight." so in this poem, there's such sadness. actually, this is quite typical of many

it is a narrative of progress and benevolence. the 1960s social revolutions ignited that the native american -- by the african-american liberation movement complicated the narrative but it's imperative they shouldn't have been left intact. this incorporation of women, african-americans and endocrine and latinas who call us contributors to the commonwealth. this revised narrative produced a nation of immigrants free market rhetoric, which it secures the u.s. practice of colonization, merging colonialism with immigration or we all came from somewhere else. how often have you heard that, to the metropolitan centers during and after the industrial revolution. native peoples to the extent they are included at all were renamed first american thin dust themselves cast distinct immigrants. the provincialism in oshawa chauvinism of the u.s. history production makes it difficult for effective revisions to gain authority. scholars both indigenous and several important nonindigenous scholars who would attempt to rectify the distortions are la

this is a wellborn narrative of the naacp in the american imagination right now. today is to bring good decision in brown vs. board of education is the most well-known supreme court case public opinion poll after public opinion poll reveals this. many of us who follow civil rights know the naacp was very active in housing discrimination lawsuits and voted disenfranchisement cases. one of the contemporary legal political leaders who megan ming francis this sentiment, barack obama while a state senator remarked on a radio show, quote, one of the tragedies of the civil rights movement was because the civil rights movement was a supreme court focused. there was a tendency to lose track of the political and community organizing activities on the ground that put together the actual coalition, power. jerry rosenberg called courts hollow hopes to gain civil rights groups because it is his belief they are constrained and unable to bring about significant social change. the arguments reflect a common perspective of political science and history, the civil rights movement wo

now you have a narrative they can drive. the family contributed to this in part, at least their lawyers did because they brought in shawn parcel, a medical investigator who turns out to be a fraud who was on many of the networks usual approximating this narrative of being shot in the back and then, of course, that got refuted. so the media played into this because it fit their narrative. msnbc did a horrible job. cnn did not do a great job. fox, to our credit, did a much more fair job of presenting the fact, and were attacked for demanding the due process play out. >> there has been conflicting testimony now that we see. there was also forensic evidence he was not shot in the back. but was he charging the officer, was he not? but the problem in those early weeks -- and i talked about this at the time, is that darren wilson wasn't telling his side. neither was the ferguson police department. so the people the media had access to were michael brown's family, his allies, and people sympathetic to him, but that did create or fos

that narrative flows from a policy. the broadening and deepening of democracy, the civil war and the ensuing second revolution of the emancipation ending slavery. the 20th century mission to save europe from itself, and the ultimate triumph and fight against the scourge of communism with the united states inheritance the difficult and burdensome task of keeping order in the world. it's a narrative of progress and benevolence. 1960s social revolutions ignited hyphenated american's, i mean by the african-american liberation movement complicated the origin narrative but it's structure and periodization have been left intact. this incorporation of women, african-americans and immigrants and latinos as contributors to the commonwealth. this narrative produced a nation of immigrants framework and rhetoric, which obscures the u.s. practice of colonization merging colonialism with immigration, where we all came from somewhere else. how often have you heard that? to the metropolitan centers during and after the industrial revolu

the media played into this because it fit their narrative. msnbc did a horrible job and cnn if not do a great john and fox did a much more fair job of presenting the facts and were attacked for demanding the due process play out. >> there has been conflicting testimony but there was forensic evidence he was not shot in the back. but was he charged the officer? was he not? >> the problem in the early weeks and i talk about this, darren wilson wasn't telling his side, and neither was the ferguson police department. the people the media had access to were michael brown's family and allies and people sympathetic but that created or foster add one-sided view. >> is that media's fault or the fact they decided not to tell their side? we know he wasn't shot in the back. when you read the grand jury testimony it is still very ambivalent. did he have to be shot not head? could me have been shot in the leg? could he have been told, lie down on the ground? there were a lot of things that are still questions. that means this is an ongoing story that deser

the other part is what do we do with it respectability narrative. >> the respectability narrative won't but you raised a ph.d as a single mother. his narrative does not allow for you. and this is my problem, and i'm wondering what spellman will do. it has to cost us something. when we think of male genius and what we allow for, i think about how the trauma of his alleged acts might have killed or suppressed female genius. he didn't make space when he was exploiting their desire to do something greater with their lives. when people are victimized, that dr trauma has resounding effects. whatever he got from imposing that drama, and being able to hide behind the money. it has been costing these women something and this is question about what kind of society do we want to be. will we hide our monsters in plain sight? or is this a safe place to live no matter who violates you. >> i want to point out that people are always in plain sight. i mean this is in part sort of what we learned with the ray rice case. this is part of what we learned with the people who are our heros in a environment of

relationship is in deep need of a new narrative. a common narrative. and here i don't simply speak in terms of some form of foreign policy utopianism or some sort of academic seminar. that's not helpful. i think you need a framework which somehow, in some way responds to the idea xi jinping put forward with a great new type of power of relationship. i think why president xi put that forward, it was how do you construct a relationship between china and the united states which doesn't replicate the inevitability of conflict as we've seen in the history of great powers before. beyond that, i think president xi's concept is basically a headline waiting to be populated. it is an idea. it is a line. it is a sentence. but if you go to chinese think tank land, as i do very often, the actual internal content of this proposition is very fluid indeed. so what could a possible common narrative look like. well, this is a very complex question. but, i would leave you with two or three thoughts. a common narrative between china and the united states is important for

as phoenix was noting in terms of the lack of diversity in narratives. so i think they have an effect, but they also reflect these broader social forces, and i think the overreliance on the military is the only source of realism contributed to the absence of diversity. these are the singular narratives that reflect their agenda as opposed to the complexities and the depth that would off a range of scenarios and narratives. >> all right, well, we asked our community, and we got feedback. ed that use said i wouldn't say the community is militarized. they are mostly screaming 12-year-olds or casual gamers. and then we actually -- again, mentioned to our community that isil has created it's own grand theft auto. emotional -- call of duty terrorist training programs? boys are getting bored with utter domination, and are now training better enemies. and speaking about training enemies. we talks about extremism on the show before. the state department has been about rating on twitter trying to battle it out. should the government be trying to battle it out usin

now this whom narrative, that hillary clinton is going to be the nominee for the press is a born narrative. there is no fight. so you want -- i assume if you're in the press core, you want some sort of story, you want some sort of narrative. >> you need a conscious, you need a struggle. elizabeth warren might run, but she's not running. >> it's ridiculous. secretly, she might run. she's not running. hilla hillary, if she wants to run is going to be the nominee. >> hillary is running. she may decide to stop running. politico had a big story magazine article on hillary clinton this week and said she had met privately with the obama campaign manager who said stop the emplploy and run now. if she did that, there would be 2,000 people following hillary and scrutinizing her even more. >> that's true, but i think she was being scrutinized as if she is the presumptive nominee. we're seeing opposition research on the other side digging up things about the clinton. if she wants to stop it, she could always say i'm not running. but we talked to the voters in iowa who said don't come here and play coy

this was a narrative that code amazing book over baby boomers. i was going to harvard the time when your dad is the head of the republican party during watergate. >> you and the party chairman and cia, no president has ever had one of the jobs. >> eagles wrote a letter to president nixon and it was a courageous letter for a chairman of the republican party. >> and of course with such general returns. the conditions would be recognized at that the letter was time for you to go. it would have been easy to say i told him to go because it was a great double to us time and it would have been expedient. he wouldn't do that of course. it's not in his nature but ultimately history sort things out and the truth becomes revealed and this is part of the process of getting people to see the truth of his presidency. >> your dad also frequently was invited by presidents to take on responsibilities. and sometimes those rates possibilities ran counter to the expectation. people were suggesting maybe you shouldn't do things like that. but i was struck in the book

. >> yeah, they're selling a false narrative here. we have too many dead black bodies in this country. but cops are not the reason. the black homicide rate is much too high. it is the leading cause of death for young black men. but blacks also commit seven to ten times more violent crime in this country than whites do. and 90% of their victims are other black people. we have so many dead black bodies in this country, megyn, not because cops are shooting them, but because other black people are shooting them. and the left is selling a false narrative pretending that the opposite is true. >> what of these claims juxtaposed what we heard last night from the prosecutor, what we see that was presented to the grand jury, african-american witnesses going in there and saying i'm telling you it is exactly as the officer said it was. michael brown charged him. he stopped, he waited. michael brown charged again, he shot again. that's from african-american witnesses. how can this be a race war? >> i'm not calling it a race war. i also disagree wi

the way the narratives are written now the naacp, the big case of brown and housing cases and capital punishment in thes and 90s that there's not a story a criminal procedure and organizing, and the naacp is not just litigation focused on organization but they were focused on protests on the ground and through the presidency and congress and perhaps political branches worked better than the courts. >> other questions? >> great presentation. you draw any historical connections to say at the beginning to where we are now in terms of the 21st century, that kind of ground level organizing might be something a lot of people are calling for. >> thank you. i had to put in 30, 37-1/2. in terms of temporary implications of my work, i think maybe two or three, in terms of organizing, in the back of my mind, when i was riding with occupied protesters and troy davis protesters as well as stop and frisk happening in new york. and i address stopped and frisked in new york. the basic question about how do organizations mobilize to successfully organize against injustice and the political system. par

[laughter] >> turning to historical and biographical into the narrative. i know my audience.about turning -- >> turning the details into the narrative. >> i have to say for me that was one of the most challenging and fun parts of writing this book as an academic and a trained artist you are trained to care less about the narrative and to give the facts and just the facts. i took this opportunity since i was fortunate enough to be able to write for a trained publishing house i was divided to have the upper trinity to write a book i thought people might want to read and that i might want to read and that took all of these seemingly dry yet potentially uninteresting details and really turn them into a rich tapestry through which you can start to understand the look and feel of the place and through which i hope to try to help people understand and imagine what it might be like to be like lafayette or one of the people in the circle looking so long ago but their lives were like ours in very many ways. it's different and the same and so i try to bring those details together on tho

. >> yeah, the problem with uber is there's a narrative building up now.nt picture emerging of a frat boy image, do what it takes regardless ofç consequences, rules to be broken, written and unwritten, using uber in inappropriate ways, and when that narrative builds up, you start to have problems because every new story feeds the narrative and it's very similar,ç arguably, to wht happens with politicians sometimes. gerald ford and his clumsiness, mitt romney being out of touch with the people, so forth. these things take on a life of their own. uber is facing that narrative problem now. >> ifill: what is uber's defense in all this and how are they planning to turn it around? >> they've hired david plouffe who has a past in that world to help them manage -- >> ifill: the president's former campaign manager,ç righ? >> exactly. they're borrowing from the political world to solve the problems. they're addressing it in two key ways, one is hitting some of this head on, whether the apology for the new story that came out this week or tryingç to get positive m

it's about a narrative against the president.some of those stories, interesting story that is should be reported on more but it's about a narrative against the president as opposed to facts. >> there's a unified them you're doing in the show today. whether it's about ferguson or benghazi, people increasingly find it almost impossible to believe that a reporter or analyst, journalist, will come to a story with the question what happened? what happened? because what people bring to a story is we know what happened because it fits the larger universe that i see. it fights the story that a cop was defending himself against a threat to his life or a cop was murdering an unarmed black man or that benghazi is part of a malicious attempt to lie to the american people or that it couldn't be that this beloved figure in american entertainment could be a serial rapist. and i find it depressing that the longer i'm in this -- at this, which may not be too much longer. >> don't say that. >> the harder it is for people to accept i'm trying to fi

by thursday the fox narrative was by lawlessness.setting up charles krauthammer to talk about the "i" word. >> we're in new and unchartered waters and that's why some say republicans have no choice but to call out that perceived lawlessness and do something as politically unpopular as impeach him. >> look, i believe it is an impeachable offense. >> there it is, the "i" word, impeachment. check out this headline with a crown illustration. his executiveness, barack obama, will decree an imperial amnesty. that's the red news narrative. werd heard it before on obamacare. what you will never hear on fox is the blue news narrative. that's a very different one. it's about families being wrecked by deportations and about a president standing up for what's right and delivering on a campaign promise. check out these two sound bites from msnbc. >> so following the precedent of previous presidents, the president is taking unilateral action that is going to burnish his legacy and live for a very long time. remember, you can toss around abstractio

if prosecutors are presenting a narrative about the imkroo, the fact that mr. mcculloch did not do that at the outset signals that he doesn't believe there's a crime. the structural change i think signals something to people p paying attention to thissing >> a prosecutor has every right, indeed it is his duty not -- it's well remembered a prosecutor's duty is to do justice. that's one of the noblest at least in tone jobs we have. the problem as we discussed over and over is that we see that a prosecutor seems to take that seriously when a police officer arguably has their life threatened but not when some young man is arrested for a serious crime or a young hispanic man is pulled over by another police officer. chris hayes put it very well. lots of people would ask for the darren wilson treatment. problem is to see the fracturing. >> you have to understand this in the context of all these other things going on. you had garner, john crawford. there's a slew of cases that i think people around the nation are seeing like, what is going on with our criminal justice

work with some questions and those questions drove me sometimes into narrative. one of the questions i had at some point in this research, at my research was in complete yet. i had done enough to see that as far as i could tell there was no compelling reason i had yet turned out not to vaccinate my son, but there questions that i had and i've vaccinated him and vaccinated him on schedule. little part of me was still nervous and one question that i had to continue to propel me through the research into this book was why am i doing this? why my vaccinating him on schedule if i am not going to be 100% certain the honda shadow of a doubt that there is nothing that that could happen to him? .. >> i would have trouble facing my father in my heart and mind, acing him if i hadn't turned up and extraordinarily compelling reason not to do the things that i knew were not just important to him but also it way beyond the importance. it ranged into a territory that was in line with the morality that i have been raised to understand and to act from. if i was going to step out w

have it in your narrative. that hereally important is not advocating that position that he was at a conference instead. i do not know who he is. he did not help write the bill. with all due respect to the question, you have the person not writing the bill commenting when we were writing the bill when we have withdrawn the

you are promoting a certain narrative. >> right, right. thank you. >> that the reporter at the end, cnn jason carroll is back from ferguson and here with me on set. sara sidner, who got hit by a

it was exciting as a writer to take on this creative style to create a narrative with a stronger point of view. that is why i don't work for the ap anymore got used to having a point of view and now i cannot give that up. [laughter] >> i have been given a directive we should have questions and answers soon. if you want to begin though lineup by the microphone i will be happy to take your questions. when i read your book seven think of the author says the personal detectives digging into family histories and i'm curious if that is the way you felt? and even more importantly to excite the audience what is though hardest discovery that you had two's think twice have your own relationship to your families to put in the book? the whole process of history detective and the thought -- the stuff you thought had to go no matter what? >> i think for me probably the hardest that i discovered was that discovering my father lived in mexico it is the same house i was born in but what i never knew as a kid because when i was two years old by kids left mexico to go to the chicago suburbs. then they wi

this is part of the whole national narrative the highly questedhighlycontested. the interesting race in georgia the gloafns governor's's race where jimmy carter's grandson is the nominee. >> last state, north carolina. >> this is part of the interesting thing i think kay hag an holds onan i think north carolina holds on by a few points. >> two final questions to each of you is this going to be a wave election for republicans. >> depends on what you mean by wave election. if the republicans end up winning the senate tomorrow night it's not a wave. so much of that changeover is happening in an area where it couldn't possibly -- >> will they win the senate? >> a great question. >> i'll move on to patrick will it be a wave and will it be in favor of the republicans? >> i agree with michael, it is not a republican wave, it is an anti-incumbent wave. i think that means the democrats lose the senate, the republicans get 71. >> lynn what do you think? >> it does look like, democrats in control of the senate at risk. wave, don't think so. >> lynn sweet patrick murray, and

one narrative to fit everything. everything. >> but it is important to >> but it is important to consider the way that different consider the way that different races and different states races and different states intersect with gubernatorial intersect with gubernatorial contests, and in iowa, the last contests, and in iowa, the last poll i saw, you had terry poll i saw, you had terry branstad run 19 points branstad run 19 points ahead of ahead of jack and jack and can't can't hope but help hope but help joanie ernst. joanie ernst. in virginia you've seen the in virginia you've seen the phenomenon in the closing weeks phenomenon in the closing weeks of the race, mark warner has a of the race, mark warner has a tiny little ethical problem tiny little ethical problem having to do with offering a having to do with offering a federal judgeship or the federal judgeship or the possibility of offering a possibility of offering a federal judgeship to the federal judgeship to the daughter of a democratic state daughter of a

one of the surprises on election day, at least one of the surprises that defied the overall narrative of election day which is that it was a huge republican night. one of the things that didn't go that way was the issue of guns. everywhere that gun safety, gun reform were on the ballot, they won on tuesday night. in washington state, this is interesting, it was a measure on the ballot that would implement background checks for all gun sales in washington state. the gun lobby countered with a competing ballot measure that would have banned background checks for gun sales in the state, so both of those were on the ballot at the same time. i should tell you that six washington state counties did stick their thumb in the eye of logic by voting to pass them both. in six counties they passed both a thing and a ban on that thing simultaneously. that's kind of amazing. but otherwise of those six counties overall in washington state it was a big win for background checks. background checks passed by an 18-point margin and the

. >> yeah, they're selling a false narrative here.we have too many dead black bodies in this country. but cops are not the reason. the black homicide rate is much too high. it is the leading cause of death for young black men. but blacks also commit seven to ten times more violent crime in this country than whites do. and 90% of their victims are other black people. we have so many dead black bodies in this country, megyn, not because cops are shooting them, but because other black people are shooting them. and the left is selling a false narrative pretending that the opposite is true. >> what of these claims juxtaposed what we heard last night from the prosecutor, what we see that was presented to the grand jury, african-american witnesses going in there and saying i'm telling you it is exactly as the officer said it was. michael brown charged him. he stopped, he waited. michael brown charged again, he shot again. that's from african-american witnesses. how can this be a race war? >> i'm not calling it a race war. i also disagree wit

so many other courses of personal endeavor will i hope democratize our international narrative. >> thank you. christian rudder, ladies and gentlemen. christian, can i have that copy back? did you see my notes? >> it was nice to see what you thought 'twas good in there. >> underlining, "disagree." not really. you should see my kindle. it's a mess. i appreciate that you read that passage. it leads well into i think the beginning of our conversation. both these books -- i want to say this, actually, both books are filled with an immense amount of information and both hilarious. they both had me laughing outloud, and that's one thing for you guys who have not yet picked up these books, they're entertaining, and just so insightful as well. what you were saying about a small noise, this era when now everyone is a noise out there, and the data you have been able to examine and collect, goes along with some of your also -- jeffrey, your realizations. you pointed out in "timetime" ad you're season writer -- the person of the year was you in 2006. the cover was a mirror. and it was exciting until

potentially ignored or neglected when they don't conform readily to those narratives. that was the spirit in which i took this on and it is something i still find myself thinking about a lot but thanks for that question. >> i get that question of law especially since i have no military background at all. i came to this book -- i mentioned before reading articles and be interested in traumatic memory and try to understand that. it was also around the time when newspapers were saying to release reports about suicide epidemic among soldiers. a kid killed himself not far from where i was living so i felt strangely complicitous and yet having no power to understand what was going on, people working around me and not able to understand their background or their pain or why this was happening. i would be fine -- to categorize the books as we so often do i would say this is a book length as a and when i say that i just mean everything i say goes back to the word to try. these series of attempts to empathize with someone whose life is very different from my own and i think one

the first narrative is what i would call the law enforcement bureaucratic narrative. these are individuals who have broken the law, and they have. they have come to the united states illegally. we have a responsibility to enforce that law. there is a second narrative, which is a social justice narrative, also really important, which is that these individuals have fled circumstances in the countries from which they come that are intolerable, both politically and economically. and frequently saw themselves as having no choice but to come here to the united states, where many would argue, they continue in many respects to be victims where they are abused by abusive employers, where because of their undocumented status, they live in the shadows. again, all things that are true. but as i got to know these individuals, i saw a third thing. i actually saw potential americans. because these individuals will two core val news their life that seemed very, very familiar to me. the first was work, typically, these individuals would engage in back-breaking labor for 14 hours a day

. >> but that's not the narrative that the national media has embraced that michael brown, as you putt, brought about his own demise. that's politically incorrect what you said. >> exactly. >> you are going to lead the web sites, particularly the left wing web sites, bernie goldberg blaming the victim, blah blah blah blah blah, and you know what? that narrative that the national media puts out -- but i have to give the "new york times" credit, they put that stepfather on their web site. that's where we got that web site with him going "burn it, burn it, burn it" which i just thought was disgusting. the "new york times" did that. the narrative has been again the police stalking the young blacks. >> listen, i'm aware and you are aware, i'm sure, of the mistrust among many black people towards white people in power, especially white people with badges and guns. okay? and a lot of that is based as the president said on an ugly racial history in this country, i grant you that i was a hard news reporter for many years as were you. i don't know but, but i saw up close some bad white cops, ok

so what happens is that the prosecutor controls that narrative. to indict a ham sandwich, then you pick through and represent what you want to be represented to insure that an indictment moves forward. it may not be what you say, but also how you say it. so just imagine, you know, in a narrative setting that you control, and you spin a story-type telling of what happened, it complicates the issues. you complicate that with the fact that you don't suggest a particular charge, but you give them a buffet of charges to choose from. the average layperson, it complicates the process. and further complicates it because it's a secretive process. >> should a special prosecutor have handled this whole process? >> i think in this particular case because of the history that we have here in st. louis, and because "u" because of the national attention that was adamant from the beginning, and because nationwide when you look at ohio, new york, and i mean, we have such a system where the community is so distrustful, i think that while the police and the prosecuti

his narrative he's been disconnected.t didn't play well yesterday as it would have with somebody else, an observer. ? >> democrats find themselves in the same position republicans did two years ago performing an autopsy on what went wrong. the impact of characterized best by democratic senator joe manchin who told o'keefe of the "the washington post" the outcome was a real whooping except he put it less delicately. in a sprawling article published early wednesday morning there was back biting on the record harry reid chief of staff called out the obama administration said reid's camp was beating their heads against the wall. >> reid's camp spent tens of millions of dollars going after kansas businessmen that nobody knew. this is harry reid's loss as much or more than barack obama's and sam stein, you may disagree with me but there's -- i am starting to hear from democratic senators who said you know what? he should of let us vote on a few bills instead he and barack obama killing absolutely everything, except for what the

[laughter] sorry. >> turning to historical and biographical details into a narrative. >> is that yourions? i know my audience. said that again. >> turning details into a narrative. >> that was one of the most, for me that was one of the most challenging but one of the most fun parts of writing this book it as an academic, as a trained art historian you are trained to care sort of slightly less about the narrative. you are trained to give the facts and just the facts. the fact is that nobody wants to read just the facts. i took this opportunity since i was fortunate enough to be able to be writing for a trade publishing house. i was delighted to have the opportunity to actually write a book that i thought people might want to read. that i might want to read. that took all of these seemingly dry and potentially uninteresting details and turn them into a rich, i don't know, tapestry through which you can really start to understand the look and the feel of the place. to which i hope to try to help people to understand or to imagine what might have been like to be lafayette or to be one of

i heard people talking about the compelling narrative presented by officer darren wilson. narrative is only compelling until it is subjected to cross-examination and someone has an opportunity to test the assumptions and the statements that were made. that never happened with darren wilson. it's not surprising that he put this to the grand jury. involving police officer shootings. they do put it to a grand jury, but they have close relationships with the police department and the police are witnesses for them in a variety of cases. prosecutors do this. you need not empanel a grand jury. he was not a police officer although he thought he was one. he wasn't one. you don't have to do a grand jury. what was more disturbing for me was the way in which the evidence was presented. for the most part when the prosecutors empanelled, the prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich if he chooses. he presents the evidence that justifies that supports an indictment. the standard is probable cause. that means if there is enough there to suggest if there is even a conflict in the eyewitness tes
