[inaudible] and barbara were always very welcoming to me. They always said whens your next book . Youre on. [laughter] and it was lovely. And as david said, brad and lissa have carried on the wondrous tradition, the ingenuity and made it keep going, and the fact that all of you have come tonight is a testimony to the job they do and the reverence for books that we all share. Richard nixons a hard man to let go of. [laughter] i first i remember as a child on black and white fuzzy television seeing this odd man. He was on the ticket with general eisenhower, and there was some problem of his taking money from a secret fund. He was talking about his daughters dog, and i thought, hmm, hes interesting. Well, he never stopped being interesting. Richard nixon was never boring. And as david mentioned, he was probably as interesting in his after presidency as he was during his presidency.

Iodine to space make city is not the last one. [laughter] but to be clearer that carter is animated or of assessed at dont think that is the bad thing. The world is of better place i dont question that for a moment. But even approaching 90 years old has no indication to lets up.
