	USNews.com: Playing it straight: Brian Lamb
		Brian Lamb's C-SPAN held its first live call-in show 25 years ago, and the first call came from Yankton, S.D. The network's anniversary call-in this month was a reminder that before Fox News, MSNBC, and Rush Limbaugh, C-SPAN was quietly helping Americans engage in political dialogue by pointing the camera at their public institutions.
		In Lamb, who had worked in government relations, cable TV found a hard worker with an original concept--unfiltered access to the workings of government--and an unshakable commitment to political neutrality.
		Despite his encounters with America's power brokers, Lamb says he took his biggest lesson in leadership when he was a young ensign aboard the USS Thuban in 1964.

		LAMB: There was a show that we did when you had Alexander, your son, standing by you and we opened the show up.
		LAMB: George Will, and you start off here by saying, "Study and ponder the following lines written by George F. Will as Ronald Reagan went tottering back to his California estate in 1989." Then you go on to, "lambast," him for writing what you said is basically unintelligible.
		LAMB: Going back to where we started in the section of this book called "Rogues' Gallery," by the way, there are a lot of things we have not talked about in this book, and they had to do with your opinion of things other than American.

		Lamb is a Washington institution who couldn't be less of the town: He knows everyone, yet is incapable of name-dropping.
		No one has ever stormed out of an interview with Brian Lamb, although one well-known author once berated him in his office for not getting invited to appear on "Booknotes." (It would be wrong to name him, Lamb says.) No one has ever started a fistfight on the set.
		Lamb is open to interpretations of himself -- the solemn ones, mocking ones, camp ones.

		And so I think that this president realizes that mind and spirit and body are all connected and that came across in your interview, particularly when he talked about how he reads the Bible all the time for his spiritual part of his life and yet he never misses his workouts.
		LAMB: I should tell our audience that we were informed on Tuesday that the president would be available for an interview on Thursday and they told us we’d have 25 minutes.
		It’s interesting that in his remarks to you Brian, to some degree he qualified that, indicating that he’s also a realistic, that he can be both an idealist and a realist and both a Wilsonian if you will and a practitioner of realpolitik.
