The Journalist's Craft
I listened to this audiobook in 20 minutes increments over a couple weeks. The beginning wasn't terrible fascinating to me-- mostly because I don't know if I've ever even watched Face the Nation-- but it got better when the author began detailing news stories and political figures the show has interviewed over the years. Like Castro's interview with hundreds of armed groupies in tow ("Don't worry! We are men of love!") Uhh... right. Or some of the more recent political figures: Al Gore, George W. Bush, etc. I had to return it before I could finish the last chapter-- the library was about to send Castro's men after me-- but I think it would have been one of my favorite chapters.
Oh, and one part that was really interesting: Bob Schieffer said that after 9/11, people were saying that the tragedy had made America a new place... the way people were increasingly kind and patient and trusting of one another in the aftermath; he disagreed, though. He said it was more a matter of reminding America what it once was. I thought that was neat.
