...easiest ones to get reservations. The ones that are traveling across the country tend to sell out immediately. We see people traveling hundreds of miles to come to participate in the project.

But even if you can't get to a StoryCorps site, I really encourage people to take time during the holidays and grab a relative and go into a quiet room, close...

On the other hand I have to wonder what space-time continuum the CIA exists in, if they weren't able to grasp what a field day the 9/11 conspiracy theorists are going to have with this - especially at a time when trust for the government is plumbing new depths...
