I thought this was an interesting interview. There are two parts - in streaming video, or as text.

According to Greenspan, this may be the last that we ever see or hear of him.

He seems to think Bill Clinton was very sharp, which isn't surprising.
ALAN GREENSPAN: Yes, my dealings with him on every issue, he understood all the technical aspects of various problems, and he got it. In other words, you could actually have a fairly abstract, complex discussion with him, and he would find mistakes in your logic, which is, in my case, very unusual...
