This is Lewis Lapham at his better voice, at least for me. I find him in this very good interview, understandable and enjoyable.
He is a senior statesman of journalism, and the stature of the man's dignity comes through. So does his clear moral voice, entertainingly so for my taste.
But then I always liked Lewis Lapham. Peter Menkin Mill Valley, CA USA (north of San Francisco)
A brilliant and insightful fellow is Lewis Lapham. One never encounters this kind of deep thought in the mainstream media because the media, by it's very nature precludes it... as Marshall McLuhan predicted. To truly understand the world today we have to turn off the tv, read our history and start thinking for ourselves.. as our ancestors did. Great vid. thanks for posting it
