In this issue, you'll read Daniel Okrent's insightful analysis of how Detroit got off track and how the hardy souls who remain are fighting for the city's future. Steven Gray profiled one of those fighters: Bing, the NBA Hall of Famer and steel entrepreneur thrust into an office once rife with corruption. Future issues of TIME will feature stories about Detroit...
