Fox and the Book Hounds
Posted on: September 28th, 2007 by Matt Raymond
What an exciting day!� With the National Book Festival just hours away, things are really hopping here.
I began early this morning trying to meet Dr. Billington at the White House for some joint media interviews with Mrs. Laura Bush, but my entrance was delayed by a �suspicious package� on 17th Street that turned out to be nothing.� Mrs. Bush�s ever-helpful staff got me inside well before the cameras rolled.
First up was a live interview with Steve Doocy of �Fox & Friends� (transcript here, video here�hope the link works).
Then there was a longer, taped interview with C-SPAN, which will air at about 9:30 a.m. tomorrow (Sept. 29), right before they begin live, all-day coverage of the NBF.� C-SPAN�s main focus will be on the History & Biography pavilion, as well as a couple of presentations from the Veterans History Project in the Library of Congress pavilion.� Our own Web site will begin making same-day coverage of webcasts available from other author pavilions.
And finally, Mrs. Bush and Dr. Billington were interviewed by Seth, an 11-year-old reporter from the Weekly Reader.� Dr. Billington had other engagements, so I then split off and did a live interview with Bruce DePuyt of NewsChannel 8.
Best of all, tomorrow�s weather forecast on the National Mall could not be lovelier.� What better way to spend one of the year�s waning, beautiful weekends than with 100,000 of your fellow book-lovers?
