My brother is going to be on 60 Minutes tonight

[nuxvomica]

In case anybody's interested, my brother Mike will be featured on a repeat segment called "A Very Special Brain" that deals with Williams Syndrome, a genetic mutation that causes in it's "victims" varying degrees of occupational disability, sometimes prodigious musical talent (he's a pianist and a huge Jerry Lee Lewis fan) and indomitable social skills. Unfortunately, I think he's opposite Al Sharpton's convention speech. ;-)

4. That is incredibly cool and what a great idea!

I saw the original Morley Safer story on "60 Minutes" a few years ago and it was a one of his best. When Safer was on Larry King he was asked which was his most and least favorite interview of all time. I don't remember what was his least favorite, but he said that the interview with nux's brother was his most favorite. Some recommendation!:-)

5. I'm on it, but I'm not sure when I'll have time to crunch it down for

online viewing, since I'm also grabbing convention highlights tonight.

6. I have it on now. It's the second story.

I know what you mean about the convention! I just had time to catch Dennis Kucinich's terrific and inspiring speech before switching the channel to CBS. Whew!:D

7. Thanks, Wonk

No hurry. Whenever you can get it done you can send it to me and I can host it. :-)

10. He really is, but you also are the best

for having sugggested it!:-)

[Rhiannon12866]

11. Any news here?

No hurry, since the convention takes priority, but I just didn't want this thread to sink into oblivion.:-)

3. Thanks, Nux

9. What a great story!

You could certainly tell how much Morley Safer was enjoying himself and how much he liked those kids!:D
