By Terry McDonell
This summer the news division at Time Inc. bought a house in Detroit. Why?

The Fixers: Detroit's Renaissance man:
The auto industry won't likely save the city, so people in Detroit need to do it on their own. Phillip Cooley not only runs a $4 million-a-year barbeque business, he's restoring the historic train station.
