You can bet these things are arranged by the corporate heads, talent agents with gravitas and high flying execs. The Chickens are (or at least were) big money, like Coca Cola and DelMonte canned tomatoes. The news, I always say, is not these staged, stagey events, but what goes on behind the stage and what led to it. Unfortunately, we seem to have lost sight of that. Diane must think she's slumming, she'd rather interview a real intellect (in her Park Avenue mind) like Assistant Professor Nick DeGenova. Yeah!
