"God's Diplomat,"
according to The New York Times.

His latest book, "Losing Faith,"
is currently number one...
:33:08
...on that publication's
bestseller list.
:33:11
Thanks for being here.
You've had quite a ride...
:33:14
...the last few years.
:33:15
Yeah, I sure have, Larry.
:33:18
Fish, I was thinking.
:33:20
Who would make the best astronomers?
Think about it.
:33:25
Who has the perfect synthesis
of career and lifestyle?
:33:30
I give.

:34:28
...that we think will fill
these holes in our lives.
:34:32
Any wonder we've lost
our sense of direction?
