all the media I did this fall as part of the book

resonated with me, and I suspect with the listeners
as well."

"In
talking recently on radio and television programs
about (my book), I found many knowledgeable and engaging
interviewers. But Mimi Geerges of "Focal Point"

result? A lively and entertaining hour for me and,
I think, for all listeners to her fine program."
