I was only able to catch the last half - but will
probably look out the repeat at Tim's indicated site.
What I heard was certainly dull enough. I wondered
which audience they might have had in mind. The
presumption of ignorance was marked & there was
nothing of the conflict of viewpoint that makes the list
at its best so enjoyable.
The underlying - & rather belittling - assumptions
about the eternal adolescent (hero & author) whose
only compass was one that led back to a fantasied lost
innocence sounded, curiously, not all that far from
George Will's.
I'd be interested - if he can bear to go back into it -
to hear why Will thinks his contribution was not
used.
