One Person in a Thousand is a Bore

This weekend I read George Will's eulogy for William F. Buckley, Jr., the famous conservative voice of the 20th century (founder of National Review). Will noted the following: "One clue to Bill's talent for friendship surely is his fondness for this thought of Harold Nicolson's: 'Only one person in a thousand is a bore, and he is interesting because he is one person in a thousand.'"

If anyone were looking for a defining characteristic of a really good interviewer/moderator, you couldn't find a much better one than this.
