I just checked nascar.com.
The race starts at 3:00 ET. I'll bet they did that just so I can watch "In-Depth."

Not only deep but clear-headed. The anti-semitism and conspiracy theories are almost all coming from the left

I watched most of this interview. If you missed it, it will be shown again on C-span2 at 5pm and midnight EST. Recommend highly.

Thanks, I missed most of the first hour. I enjoyed it thoroughly, and just an aside - the callers seem to be worlds away from the idiot callers who call into Washington Journal.

Thanks for the heads up. I had the VCR programmed already, I saw Hanson on Book TV last year, doing a QA at a bookstore for his book (the one before his last one.) He is a very thoughtful man.

Just watched the last half hour, or so, of the program because I missed it yesterday. I agree with your observation. The term, "Seminar Caller" kept popping into my head because we didn't hear from them.

Hanson truly is a man for all seasons.
