My Hillsdale Panel Discussion

I just got an email from a friend who saw it on line, so I went and looked it up. Here it is.

I was originally supposed to lead off, but the moderator rearranged things so I ended up batting clean up, and it ended up well. Sercel told me that he was going to talk about some of the things that I did, but dropped them in the interest of time, so all our talks ended up being complementary.

It had my name on it. I’m pretty sure it was personal.” It cracked everyone up, including him, because he knew he’d screwed up. He then asked the question he meant to ask, modifying it with “…before you wrote the article?”
