What’s your most embarrassing on-the-job moment? (Or as embarrassing as you’d like to reveal?)

Telling the Knight Ridder board that Phil Gramm was favored to beat Bob Dole for the 1996 Republican Presidential nomination. Gramm, of course, never made it to New Hampshire. And Dave Hall, then the publisher of the Miami Herald, never let me forget it.

If you could interview any deceased person, who would it be and why?
