nelson mandela. nelson mandela.pard: smokey robinson read some letters from people that we have all heard of. now we are waiting for this event to begin, in earnest. normally, if the president was going to speak, we would have the speech in front of us. if it was a baseball game, we know who is starting, who is on the bench. today, we have nothing. what we really do not know is if this is organized to the degree where there will be one. i think it will be, but it was a quick thing to put together. we were talking about how there were empty seats. in los angeles bureau chief is messaging me, telling me that they gave out 11,000 tickets. it has a 20,000 capacity for basketball games. i guess they kept thousands of tickets for his family to use, and they never really expected it to be full. 6500 streets across the street at the nokia center. there should be no surprise that this has not gotten started on time, that there were some logistical issues. putting it together in this rapid of fashion, with the classic jackson
