“The fact that (National Public Radio correspondent John Hockenberry) is in a wheelchair made us ask, ‘Can he do the job?’ I asked around. When I heard about him being dragged across Turkey on a camel, I figured the guy could get from one place to another reasonably efficiently. The real issue is what you do when you get there. What he does is very exciting. Nothing gets in John’s way, as far as I know.”
