"Perhaps the finest interviewer alive today." -The Star Tribune "I can think of no journalist, now or at any time across the annals of our past, who has contributed so much to democracy's dialogue." -Michael Copps, FCC commissioner "[Moyers] has always been about something beyond the moment. Or put another way, while everyone else in the media has been exploring topography, Moyers has been exploring geology." -Neal Gabler, Los Angeles Times "In an era of much instant and ephemeral talk, it is a pleasurable thing to hold this 'book of ideas.'" -Publishers Weekly
