Jim Lehrer is here. As the executive editor and anchor of “The
NewsHour with Jim Lehrer” on PBS, he’s been a keen observer of Washington
politics for more than 30 years. He’s also a seasoned author. He has
written two memoirs, three plays, and his latest book, “Oh, Johnny,” is his
19th novel. And he’s already -- get this -- written his 20th novel, and
that will be out sometime in the future.
I’m pleased to have Jim Lehrer back at this table. Welcome.
JIM LEHRER: Thank you, Charlie.
CHARLIE ROSE: All right, here’s the -- I want to talk briefly about
this book, and then we’re going to get on to other issues. Not more
important, just other.
JIM LEHRER: Oh, OK.
CHARLIE ROSE: All right. This is the story of a young man who’s
going to become a flame thrower in the Marines on Okinawa. Before he goes,
he’d wanted to be a baseball player. Stops in Wichita, meets a girl.
