Craig, thanks for this thoughtful reply.  Many of us who appreciate Lewis and Clark are pleased and optimistic about Dr. Glassner's impending presidency, and welcome this chance to hear him viva voce.  He brings intelligence, vision, and human warmth to the job, along with a superb track record adminstratively at USC, and success as a public intellectual. Much to look forward to!

Again, while Pres. Glassner handled the interview well, it was far from Ms. Harris' best work, and not a stellar example of "radio that listens."  Nor of interviewing, pace Charlie Rose or Terry Gross, that allows complex thoughts to develop, rather than foreclosing them.

Since college admissions is merit based, clearly this national trend needs to be addressed at the primary and secondary levels.  Admitting excellent students is far more important IMO than the structure of future football teams.

Truly. Several times now, Emily has rudely and unproductively cut Prof. Glassner off, usually just before he had a chance to make his main point.  Not the level of thoughtful radio journalism we expect from OPB/NPR.
