it was the first time that i was back at wright-patterson based where richard helped in the the bosnian war since those days in 1995 it was moving and was equally moving to the people on the ground and i'm happy to say that i wasn't the only one with four allies during this weekend. and all of that has been such a balm to me. so, thank you. [applause] i.t. i should shut up and go straight to questions. >> no way, jose. >> kati has captured so much of the essence of the guy. i want to see some of the context if i could and i want to start with the context of the scene and the story. it is a great institution. a great washington institution, and a great national institution and i must say, melissa and brad, you have obviously gotten perfect pitch when it comes to striking a balance between the change and continuity, and i felt when i walked in here tonight and i didn't see them that i saw barbara, and we all have reason to be concerned about the fate of books as we move from the guttenberg era to the zuckerburg era.
