Rod Whitten Interviewed by Charlie Rose

Allow me to channel my inner Howard Riefs here (unless he's scooped me!) ;D:

Interesting to see Charlie Rose, who I regard as the best live interview-giver around, chatting with Ron Whitten. The piece doesn't go very in-depth, naturally, since it had to succeed in being engaging for people who don't know much about GCA but are nonetheless inquisitive.

Thoughts?

You give me too much credit. You were actually scooped yesterday by Steve Shaffer:

Tim,

Agree on Charlie Rose, I think he's terrific.

The field of interest remains narrow, but awareness seems to be increasing
