And the central reason is that it is home to outstanding journalists, a standout among them, is tom friedman. [applause] you may have noticed in the program that there is a photo that purports to be tom friedman. You know, tom is young but looks like he is accelerating in reverse in that photo. Tom has spent his life getting out into the world doing thorough research and speaking to people in every station of life, and walk of life around the planet.

They are the products of real reporting and serious reflection, themselves, all too rare. Those qualities can be found, could be found in toms previous bestselling books, you can find them in toms latest.
