I agree. I in no way meant to disparage Max's performance. I just
remember that they kept cutting him off and talking over each other. I
realized that Crossfire isn't about logic and explanations. It is about
zingers, sound-bites and grabbing mindshare. Max did a wonderful job,
but I began to brainstorm what strategies we could use if we had more
advance warning and time to prepare.
