Sen. Carl Levin, help my school book special trips to U.S. Capitol and the Old Executive Office in Washington D.C. in 1993. My school give him a lot of thanks.

I took a few minutes to read his Wikipedia entry. Reminded me that while I didn't agree with much of his politics, he was a fine leader and someone Michigan and Detroit were fortunate to have in our corner.

smmfh. Wikipedia?

Hey, former Sen. Levin was a great guy and politician. but propping up a weak*ss source like wikipedia is unforgivable. That place is pure untrustworthy trash, and only lazy folks use it as a primary source.
