Mr. Oliphant coming up on Imus at 7:30ish a.m. CT this morn.

I like him and thought others might.

1. I couldn't watch it. Let me know if it turned out well.

With Imus though, I doubt it.

2. I LOVE Tom Oliphant

but missed it. Did he say anything interesting? What did they talk about? Did they mention JK?

[babylonsister]

3. It was a pretty benign interview. I half-listened, but think he was

pushing his book. Nothing of import was said; that seems to be the way it goes w/Imus more and more.
Last week he had Frank Rich on, and didn't pick his brain about current events hardly at all. Go figure.

4. what's his book about?

Just curious because I saw him on ESPN Classic talking about hte Brooklyn Dodgers one night and then saw that he had a book on Gil Hodges.

5. I think it was his book on Gil Hodges, coming out in paperback?

I'm not real sure. They were just chit-chattin', so I tuned them out.

6. I'd like to read that

I didn't know Oliphant was from Brooklyn until I watched that. That book should be interesting. The Dodgers of the 50's were a team that showed America's getitng to the right place on civil rights for blacks.
