Not specifically, but he did talk a little about Libra (ashamed to say I
haven't read it but delighted that it's still in front of me). The one
phrase that stuck in my mind was "here was a guy who was prepared to
shoot the president but wasn't prepared to walk two blocks to do it. The
president had to come to him".

Hope this helps,
