correcting line 3: "days earlier than I get the internet comment archive."
correcting line 17: "in between periods of good fortune".
Not a lot of typos or corrections. But bad when they hit you.
I swear one day grammar, typos, and spelling errors will be corrected by machine or live editors for projects like these archives. Why not? A lot of people read them. Among all readers, some really are annoyed by them. The logical way to do this today is for writers to correct their own after re-reading them -- probably often. The final step would be for readers to be able to contact the writer to advise on changes to be considered. That is, assuming this human labor intensive editing cannot be fully automated yet -- and maybe never will be.

I receive these shows over TWC internet signals -- the audio and video are very good. I do not understand comments ahead of this one about poor sound and color. I also see the shows over the same cable system, but on PBS SO CAL channel days earlier than the get the internet comment archive.
As to the interviews themselves, I thought this one was full of profound observations and high quality performance. REMant and Sharks were unimpressed -- or left me with that impression of their comments.
In recent months I have become more interested in death than when I was younger. I have seen myself reduced from the center of my world to a spec of dust along the byway -- millions of miles long.
I used to say, individual lives are links in the chain of human life from its beginning to its final end. My point was that selfish thoughts were off key. The music we seek will play, as generations are born and replaced -- and none lasts very long. Except, of course, merited immortality of artists and scientists will and should last for millennia not lesser periods.
The play discussed in the interviews, as was noted, used most of its words to tell the details of disease treatment and the narrow fight by those who cure and those who suffer, in the struggle to prevail over nature's specific agents of pain and death -- and then only to have to meet new ones, in between period of good fortune.
In other words, if we condensed the play to its profound thought on "the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune", it would be only a few sentences -- not two or more hours of noise recorded in hospitals everywhere through all time.
These interviews were the opposite. They tried to focus on our most profound interpretations of the human condition -- not on the curative details randomly offered by medical science not concerned with watching plays on or off Broadway. As such, I remained under the spell of the interviewees throughout the broadcast. From my experience, it was another solid TV hour. Cynthia Nixon grabs us. Lynne Meadow let's us return to whom we are gently. Charlie Rose did his usual professional job as interviewer and editor in chief for the very large team who serve us. Some of us judge his technical interviewer skills more than I do. I'm usually more in touch with the whole conversation than with a model in mind of David Frost or Edward R Morrow.
If death is hanging around your room at night, the show was just what the doctor ordered: low stress and much distraction. That night's show was not to be the end of your days.

truthfully the audio quality is SO low that it's barely listenable at some point somebody out there is going to have to donate money to the charlie rose show so that it can be posted on the web at a somewhat decent audio quality this is 2012 this show is going to be archived and referenced (here) for the foreseeable future and so it's should have substantially better audio quality

'The hubris in the play is that you are above other people.'
Quite a statement at that table.

Yes Charlie, 'Come in life naked and leave life naked' so let’s get naked Charlie since George Clooney is in town again.

Yes, I saw the movie at the local community college years ago and we discussed if she really wanted to live.
Vivian Bearing: I trust this will have a soporific effect.
Susie Monahan: I don't know about that, but it sure makes you sleepy.
Vivian Bearing: [laughing] Soporific means 'makes you sleepy'.
Jason Posner: [conducting a medical history check] Are you having sexual relations?
Vivian Bearing: Not at the moment, no.
