      Charlie,

      Excellent interview. I'd like to see more of you and Dr. West in conversation. There is something about this pairing that brings about a strong synergy of American ideals and idealism at its best. Thanks again.

      I love Cornell West and I've just begun to see why my father loves Charlie so much! He's a curious man after so many years... in all his questions about do all these parsings in a person's path become whole... "from one river?" it speaks volumes to how curious he is in both his guests... but also in honing in on his own expression... great journey he's on, other's should take similar vacations
