what's next for annie and john glenn? >> i'm just trying to keep up with annie, you know. i've suggested to annie that we should put in and try and go as a couple back into space. but shawn, lest you think this is something i'm coming to you with one of these days, wherever you are here -- she only has one caveat to this. she wants to be up there and she wants to look down and see everything up there. she just doesn't want to go through the launch. i don't know how you do that. no, seriously, one of the things we're doing, of course, was mentioned earlier in the introduction here. the institute for public service, public policy at ohio state. i've felt for the last 15 years or so that we had so much cynicism and apathy of many of our young people toward anything to do with government and politics that it could be a hazard for the future, seriously, because our democracy depends upon people participating, and if we all went down the mall here and across to the archives building, went in and looked, there sits the constitution, hand-writ, there it is. it is the greatest sing
