2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Count Down [View all]DFW
(54,302 posts)81. Larry Spivak used to run MTP as his own personal fifedom
But he DID get interesting guests on, and he DID always invite 3 members of the press to ask the guest questions, usually making an effort to select journalists whose papers (only newspapers in those days) covered areas that were related to the guest. Spivak NEVER discussed questions in advance with the reporters he invited, and everyone was free to ask what he or she considered relevant.
