The book is a very worthwhile experience. Michener novices should head towards Texas or Centenial first. The chapter on the Nazi occupation was pretty good. The Communist brutality is discussed albeit in passing. He does have small references to two Polish survivors of the Holocaust scoffing at Holocaust Denial literature.
My speech went very well. It was intended to be written for a higher up in the chain. The higher ups wanted me to read it myself. Later on I was reminded that there is a possibility I will be doing so in the future. Public relations is part of the job and I do not particularly care for this aspect. I prefer doing my work with the newer officers informally. Fortunately, my reputation as a Union activist will keep all but the rarest requests from being granted.
I will be reading Roberts again likely Oliver Wiswell which is his most controversial book as he delves into the Revolution from the Loyalist perspective.
France has decided to round up Roma. Of course sending people who practice polygamy would require more political will and set off riots. I respect due process and hope deportations follow procedures. I am sure that those who wrote the law in Arizona anticipated legal obstacles and this act may help place more members of the GOP as it highlights judicial activism.

Centennial is one of my favorite books. In fact, I've had a few bookworm students read it and review it.

Yes, indeed, and particularly since the Roma are thought to be a diaspora created by the Muslim invasion of India.
