I Remember On Page One Of The New York Times The Article About Fred Leuchter. The Heading Was "can Capital Punishment Be Humane" And It Was The Story About An Electric Chair Repairman And Execution Machine Designer. And Then Buried In The Back Of The Paper Was The Fact That Fred Leuchter Had Also Been Involved In Holocaust Denial.

Interviews, When They Are Just Simply An Exercise In Hearing What You Want To Hear, Are Of No Interest. And Many, Many, If Not Most Interviews Have That Character. The Interviewer Who Comes In With A List Of Bullet Points They're Going To Address One After The Other. Interviews, Properly Considered, Should Be Investigative. You Should Not Know What You're Going To Hear. You Should Be Surprised.

When You Start Talking About The Known Knowns And The Unknown Unknowns, You're Thrown Into A Crazy Meta-level Discussion. Do I Know What I Know, Do I Know What I Don't Know, Do I Know What I Don't Know I Don't Know. It Becomes A Strange, Lewis Carroll - Like Nursery Rhyme.
