rise again," I choked on the writer's description of what happened. "If
Detroit had been ravaged by a hurricane, and submerged by a ravenous
flood, we'd know a lot more about it," said Daniel Okrent. "If drought
and carelessness had spread brush fires across the city, we'd see it on
the evening news every night." Earthquake, tornadoes, you name it, if
natural disaster had devastated the city that was once the living proof
of American prosperity, the rest of the country might take

Coleman Young's corruption brought the city to its knees, no amount of
federal dollars could save the incredible payoffs, kickbacks and
illegality permeating his administration. I witnessed the city's death
from the seat of my 18-wheeler tractor trailer because I moved people
out of every sector of decaying Detroit .<BR><BR>"By any quantifiable
standard, the city is on life support. Detroit 's treasury is $300
million short of the funds needed to provide the barest municipal
services," Okrent said. "The school system, which six years ago was
compelled by the teachers' union to reject a philanthropist's offer of
$200 million to build 15 small, independent charter high schools, is in
receivership. The murder rate is soaring, and 7 out of 10 remain
unsolved. Three years after Katrina devastated New Orleans ,
unemployment in that city hit a peak of 11%. In Detroit today, the
unemployment rate is 28.9%. That's worth spelling out: twenty-eight
point nine percent.</SPAN></B><U></U><U></U></DIV></DIV>

city's collapse, it's also about the erosion of the industries that
helped build the country we know today. The ultimate fate of Detroit
will reveal much about the character of America in the 21st
