Welcome, meg. Its great to be with you and talking about amazing work. Thanks, rob. I cant think of anybody i would rather be talking to about it than with you. So its privilege. Thanks much. I have to say, what i love about this book is that you, the keen eye of a reporter the storytelling chops and wit that may be part of the kissinger dna and the passion of someone who has looked squarely at human and institutional failure and wants to expose it.
