I met Jeffrey Toobin, New Yorker writer and CNN commentator, today as he visited KQED to promote his new book about the Patty Hearst kidnapping on KQED's talkshow program, "Forum." It turns out Toobin was running late for the interview and the senior producer asked me to stand in for him at the start of the program.
So I went over and waited in the control room, ready to perform, when Toobin arrived just in time for the show. It was a very good show. In addition, host Michael Krasny and Toobin mentioned the articles in Rolling Stone that my friend Howard Kohn and I co-authored many decades ago three times.
Afterwards I introduced myself and walked Toobin out of KQED. He told me I was his "hero." I told him he was mine.
