In fact he’s gotten some fine zingers in at 45 while talking about the vital importance of the press in the world and the 1st Amendment in America.

The only negative was that they thought he was done too early and got up and clapped but he still had about 4 minutes left. He felt rushed through it, I felt, and read it a little fast at the end.

It was lovely to hear smart perspective and someone reminding the press that it is indeed a noble profession.
