  • Ben, let Giri talk!

    Ben asks a question and the drones on endlessly, not letting Giri answer. What a windbag! And not very articulate at all. How does he have a job at the NYT? This interview is so painful, I could not goer through it. Nathan was excellent speaking with 2 moderators during his book talk at
