Public Radio Has Always Been So Powerless.

That's The Problem With News Interviews, You Work Your Tail Off To Get Prominent Figures In The News On The Radio, But Once They've Been On, The Event Passes, The Urgency, The Issues You Talked About Evaporate.

But When You See Personal Artifacts Relating To - By Genealogy At Least - A Living Human Being, It Was Just More Impressive To Me Than Just About Anything I've Ever Read About Slavery Before.

One Trouble With Being Efficient Is That It Makes Everybody Hate You So.

I'm A Very Straight-laced, Conservative News Kind Of Guy.
