51:15   more show”, so he did, but when I was
51:17   leaving, when I was leaving Skywalker
51:21   Ranch for the last time, he walked with
51:23   me out to our car, and he said, “Are you going

51:28   been certain about journalism, not been
51:31   fixed in my trajectory, “Are you going to
51:35   stay in this work?” and I said, “Yes, I think so”
51:39   and he said, “Well, good!”, he said, “If you
51:41   want to change the world, change the
51:45   metaphor. Change the story.”
