Studs Terkel intros Christopher Hitchens to speak on The Last 50 Years

Studs Terkel was an American writer, historian, actor, and broadcaster. He received the Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction in 1985 for The Good War and is best remembered for his oral histories of common Americans, and for hosting a long-running radio show in Chicago.

In other words, I would imagine Christopher was glad for the intro; I think anyone of their background to be happy with each other. A bar full of guys/gals like this and we could probably get to the future.
