Graham compared the technological situation at the turn of the millenium to the technological revolution of Israel 3,000 years ago. Both then and now, Graham said, there have been "moral and spiritual problems that need moral and spiritual answers...

Once in a blue moon, a modern music show will play (Dar Williams' Cry Cry Cry for one), but Sanders is usually strictly Harvardian musical fare...
