Hi, this is Robert Scheer with another edition of Scheer Intelligence.

And intelligence comes from my guest, which in this case is Professor Charles Durba of Boston University.

Hi, this is Robert Scheer with another edition of Scheer Intelligence, where the intelligence comes to my guest.

In this case, it's Professor Charles Durbin of Boston College.
