"You're are the most wonderful audience because you eat lunch faster than any group that I've ever talked to." I loved it whenever Gore spoke. Entertaining and informative. Miss him.

6:40 is where the pontificating Master of Ceremonies introduces Vidal. Skip ahead. Vidal begins speaking about 10:00.

This is the first of four parts of a talk by Gore Vidal to the National Press Club in 1998. It's a banana split for fans of recent American political history. (You can skip the first 10 minutes or so; it's NPC prize presentations.
