1. Freethinkers.
Good book - very clear. She does an excellent job with the historical aspect; not quite as coherent in the modern section (but I'm being nit-picky).

2. No, but I have her newest, 'The Age of American Unreason' on my list. There was a review of the
book in the NY Times and I think I share her opinion.

3. I saw her last night on Bill Moyers.
Bought 'The Age of American Unreason' today but have only read the Introduction so far. Still can't get over that clip of the lady who thought Europe was a country and never heard of Hungary.
