5. And cute as a button

[dsc]

2. and MSNBC let him go

simply amazing.

[Squinch]

3. How the hell did he get a PhD while he was doing all that other stuff? He broke major stories last

year.

I feel inadequate. But very happy for him. And grateful he's on our side.

9. He had finished his boards several uests ago and his dissertation was

On exploitation of the poor in developing countries

He had important positions in the Obama administration in the State Department regarding developing countries so he sold have covered a lot of the material in his job.

For the last couple of years he has been freelance and worked on a few stories but they all turned out to be huge.

The hard part is keeping up the discipline when you are no longer in a structured environment and have other things to do.

Very talented, very smart and very disciplined.

A national treasure.

28. Some people can move mountains, it seems.

While my sister was completing her Master's at Oxford in EconomicsInternational Relations, she became friends with a young woman who was in the same general program and received her degree with a Distinction - a big deal.

A bigger deal when you learn that she was concurrently getting a degree in Law. Her father was one of the 2 or 3 top lawyers specializing in international maritime law, so she was following in his footsteps.

I thought it was quite an accomplishment for my sister to get her full program at Oxford on 100% scholarship and bursary, but she said she felt like a bumpkin, because she was only fluent in 2 languages. The norm was 3-5, apparently.

4. I realize that Ronan is a verifiable genius...

I' m just surprised he's just getting around to the Phd. I would have imagined that he would have had it by about eighteen. Realize he does have a law degree.

6. Very impressive!

And I still think he looks like Frank. I don't see a trace of Woody in him.

Congratulations Dr. Farrow!

14. Mia's son. She was his "parents."

Frank and Woody are irrelevant, IMO. Mia Farrow gets the credit for raising such a remarkable young man.

[smirkymonkey]

17. I agree that she gets all the credit for raising him, but he had two biological

parents. I don't think Woody had anything to do with creating this fine young man.

[Ilsa]

22. I'm just saying that I think the source of his DNA is irrelevant.

It doesn't matter who his father is, and I don't think it is fair to his mother to make an issue of something that isn't our business.

7. No one should be that darn pretty

Good for you Doc!!!!!

[smirkymonkey]

18. He is quite beautiful, isn't he?

He seems to have won the genetic lottery with looks and intellect.

[DoctorJoJo]

8. He Got His BS at Age 15 and JD at Yale at 22.

I knew he started a PhD at Oxford many years ago as a Rhodes Scholar, but hadn't read anything about this. Quite an accomplishment!

[Honeycombe8]

12. I had no idea. He must be a genius. Literally. And a very hard worker.

Unusual for a rich kid from famous parents. He didn't have to do anything but go yachting and learn to play golf.

Impressive fellow. I'm sure Mia is proud.

[deurbano]

20. I thought he'd abandoned it for other pursuits. Already had a law degree from Yale!

[Honeycombe8]

10. He got his doctorate? While he was breaking ground as a journalist? Impressive!

And a great picture.

[Glimmer of Hope]

11. Good grief. Could he be more impressive?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. I wonder why I've never heard of him before.

Has he been flying under the radar?

Anyway, his accomplishments are stellar and amazing.

Sounds like we can expect great things from him.

[Ilsa]

15. He had a show on msnbc a few years ago during the middle of the day.

He was an excellent interviewer.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. Ah, thank you! He sounds very good.

I never watch TV in the middle of the day and that's probably why I never heard of him before.

[tclambert]

16. Rosemary's Baby got a PhD?

Seriously, congratulations, Ronan.

[Marie Marie]

19. He is impressive.

[JenniferJuniper]

23. Dr. Sinatra

to be DNA specific.

[Moebym]

24. Won the genetic lottery.

Good looks, good temperament and high intelligence. Who wouldn't be proud of a child like that?

[japple]

25. Terry Gross did an interview with him last year. Here it is in print or audio.
