Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad sits down for a chat with Williams in the presidential compound in central Tehran in 2008. Marjorie Williams of Vanity Fair writes, "Williams' intelligence comes through in the follow-up questions he asks his guests, in the way he explains and foils some of the fog machines that generate the news. He manages to strike a tone that's informal and wise to the ironies of the world, without being smarmy."
