Items related to What They Were Thinking
Not all of them set out to change the world, but some of them managed to do just that. Not even legendary announcer Ernie Harwell knew the intrigue that lead to his brutal and disastrous dismissal--the full story is presented here for the first time. How did the coolest-of-cool novelist Elmore Dutch Leonard find his voice and create those just-off-center bad guys and capture that street-smart dialogue? Haney takes readers inside the minds of these and more than a dozen other notable Michigan figures, people like Dr. Jack Kevorkian, the zealot who elevated the issue of assisted suicide. And Academy Award-winning Sue Marx, automotive genius Ed Cole, the three visionary men who built the Palace and the championship Pistons, and many more men and women who made a difference. Haney reveals the motivations and the passions of people--some prominent, some scarcely known--who made decisions and took actions that had impacts that reverberated far beyond the borders of the state.

About the Author:
Bill Haney is the author of several successful non-fiction books, with a focus on subjects of particular significance and interest to Michigan readers. He is an Oakland County native, having been born in Big Beaver Village before it evolved to become Troy. He lives with his wife Marcella in Brandon Township.
Review:
It is a tribute to Bill Haney s own Harwellian optimism that we are left marveling not at the depths to which Michigan can sink, but the heights to which its most inspiring sons and daughters can ascend. --Brian Dickerson
