A classic. The now famous educational interview on live radio with the editor of a famous popular mechanics publication on the tragic events of 9/11/2001.

Checking through your posts, I can't immediately see that you have ever posted anything at all about literature.

This doesn't mean that he doesn't read, or that he doesn't read about literature on the forum.

And if he doesn't read literature now, since he's here, he may begin when he needs to recover from too much current events.

Let me help you there. In my last post (the first on this thread) I refer to a popular mechanics publication (the largest of its kind in North America) whose editor is being interviewed there live on radio.

The literature we read is of immense importance. I have posted numerous references to books and articles. All of which encourage us to read information in that form. None of us would wish to be ignorant of literature in all its forms. Including yourself.

Regards

You are right Vonny. I suppose the most serious subjects are always related to the present, or ought to be. Even those which deal with the past. Since the present is very much the product of the past. Current events are of major importance. But when I reach my end on them I am always happy to speak of things past and those which may be. It's a sort of balance one tries to have.

In this case the subject is an interview with an editor of one of the most major mechanical publications of them all on the facts surrounding one of the greatest tragedies of our times. Which unfolds in a strange way, you may agree. This is well worthy of my attention. And hopefully your own.
