My wife was interviewed by Charles Gibson on Good Morning America in 2002, re: her book, The Normal One: Life With a Difficult or Damaged Sibling. In many pre-interviews, the producers laid out numerous parameters for the show–talk about celebrities with damaged siblings, don’t talk about the disabled, etc., etc. In the four minute interview Gibson asked about all the taboo topics and ignored all the supposedly essential ones. My wife felt that it made for a much better interview.

It will be interesting to see if anything similar occurs tonight.
