4.0 out of 5 stars The second non- Clinton segments asking about the great man of the Century March 30, 2008

By Shalom Freedman HALL OF FAMETOP 1000 REVIEWER

I know in the first segment Bill Clinton named Roosevelt as his Man of the Century. A reasonable choice. In the second segment Charlie Rose asks a number of people who their great man was. I first of all thought the choice here of guests asked not the best, and not the most varied. A number named Gandhi and Nelson Mandela. Chris Mathews named the Man of the Century in terms of politics and history, Winston Churchill. I believe Elie Wiesel also mentioned him. Wiesel also mentioned the American soldier. And I believe in the beginning mentioned the person who Time Magazine would name as Man of the Century. It would also be my choice. Einstein. Simply because his accomplishment in understanding fundamental laws regarding the nature of the universe is an accomplishment which is for 'all- time'. I did not particularly enjoy this segment or find the choices interesting or entertaining.
