	Interview on The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer
		LEHRER: More generally about terrorism, in light of the Egypt bombings and, of course, the bombings in London, there's a new poll out today that suggests that more than two-thirds of the American people believe that there is going to be another horrendous terrorist attack in the United States soon.
		I can tell you, Jim, that I'm spending an awful lot of time these days preparing for the high-level meetings that are going to take place in September where all of the world's leaders are going to be here to talk about refreshing the United Nations after 60 years.
		LEHRER: I noticed on your recent trip to Darfur, however, you seemed terribly frustrated that there is -- millions of people have been made homeless, thousands of people have been killed, and here the United States and the rest of the world can't stop it.

	DoD News: Secretary Rumsfeld Interview with NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, WETA TV
		Lehrer: It's been suggested that you are emphasizing only the upside of this, and that you haven't talked publicly about, hey, wait a minute, they may not -- they may resist, they may do this, they may do that, thousands and thousands of people could die, including a lot of Americans.
		Lehrer: And there are a lot of what they call -- the private aid groups have been on this program and elsewhere saying that there has been very little coordination with them from the U.S. government, they're prepared to help out and all that, and they're waiting for the calls.
		Lehrer: But, it has not given you any pause at all to consider whether or not, the numbers you just laid out, that aside, that the message as to why this military action may have to be taken has not gotten through to everyone.

	Interview With Jim Lehrer of The NewsHour
		LEHRER: President Assad, as I'm sure you know, has announced that he's going to address his parliament tomorrow and the expectation is that he's going to make an announcement that there is going to be a partial withdrawal and a redeployment of the rest of the Syrian troops near the Syrian border.
		It is also the case, Jim, that they need to withdraw their security personnel because Syrian security personnel, their intelligence services, cast a long shadow over Lebanon, and it is going to be very difficult for the Lebanese people to exercise their franchise freely in the upcoming elections with Syrian personnel still there.
		LEHRER: I'm sure you've noticed, too, that people have said it's very important that, at a time like this, that the United States not get into a "gloating" mode and not to be too far out in front of the people on the ground.

		JIM LEHRER: There was a the U.S. military announced today that five Army Rangers are charged with abusing some captured Iraqis.
		JIM LEHRER: You are the first Marine to be commandant of the Marine Corps, General Pace.

		The scholarly sleuthing procedural offers cover for Lehrer's temperate satire of academic rivalries, as he takes a stab at how historical imagination works (it requires long conversations with the shade of the founding father one is profiling) and examines the question of what constitutes plagiarism.
		Lehrer's 15th novel is a slightly stiff academic thriller geared to history buffs, packed full of Franklin facts.
		Lehrer has obviously logged his time on the Metroliner between Washington and Philadelphia -- every detail of Philadelphia is lovingly rendered, from the ghostly shadow of where Franklin's house once stood to the prominent role that the Franklin-founded University of Pennsylvania plays in the city's socioeconomic life.

		Lehrer does kind of explain these things, in a way, later on, but these kinds of doubts gave the premise a tinge of unreality which weakened its impact for me.
		Lehrer writes with a sort of Southern lilt which is kind of nice, but then, he has everyone - the narrator of the story and most of the characters - talk that way off and on, which is a bad idea if you're trying to keep characters separate.
		Lehrer does a masterful job of looking at the issue from all sides, and I agree with the majority of his conclusions.

		But Lehrer has drawn heat for what some contend is a gloves-on style that fails to sufficiently challenge candidates on their positions.

		Lehrer's refusal to correct his evident error is especially striking because he had emphasized his incorrect statement on the air by immediately adding: "I just want to get that on the record." (My request to a NewsHour spokesperson for a direct comment from Lehrer did not yield any statement from him.)

		Shifting narrators as well as settings between 1933 and 1997, Lehrer's 14th novel is an expertly researched, warmly told tale, rich in suspense and drama.
		Even though its epic scope spans all but a few years of the 20th century, Jim Lehrer's latest book, Flying Crows, is the almost painfully intimate story of a young man and a much older one who, for a brief time, were co-inmates at the Missouri State Hospital for the Insane at Somerset.
		The inmates are soothed with long and pointless sessions in the bathtub, trussed up with leather straps, shocked by electric probes, tranquilized with padded baseball bats, threatened with death and vivisection; and always, every day, they rock endlessly on the porch in dark pine chairs that go bump.
