“Agree with him or not, Albacete is extraordinarily simpatico. Despite his basic conservatism, he has a liberal, and often humorous, openness to every aspect of life: sex, art, literature, pop culture, philosophy and, of course, science. He is also resolutely honest. No one who has heard him, whether on televison or in the pages of this book, grimly analyzing the events of 9/11 as proof of religion’s power to do evil will soon forget it.”
