Conversations with history

Conversations With History is a fabulous resource of academic knowledge and enlightenment. It is one of those Internet-era jewels that wouldn't have been imaginable in any other time in history. Thanks to somebody else, we all have access to more than 450 interesting minds interviewed by Harry Kreisler, a professor at UC Berkeley. The interviews are around one hour long and include leading intellectuals, politicians, and diplomats. For example, Mr. Kreisler intreviews Kofi Annan, Noam Chomsky, Walter Russell Mead, and Amartya Sen. The only annoyance is the music at the beginning of each interview; it sounds like some old spooky castle tune.
