I sure as heck hope he is not the late Dr. William F. Meacham’s son. The Dr. was perhaps the top neurosurgeon in the 70’s-90’s. He was called when Reagan was shot. I was blessed to see him for a consult as the lady I dated then was a top MD’s ex. He had Ray Hester and Dr. Johnston do my lumbar spine surgery. Vanderbilt has a Meacham award named for him. There is also a Meacham Society.
I used to watch "Charlie Rose" back when I was younger. The thing that put me off was that he'd always have hack writers from Time and Newsweek like Jon Meacham, Evan Thomas, and Walter Isaacson coming on to opine about everything under the sun, like they had some special knowledge about everything.
