As she reaches her 40th year on "Fresh Air," Terry Gross is profiled by Susan Burton, who describes how Gross gets her subjects to open up: "Over the years, Gross has done some 13,000 interviews, and the sheer range of people she has spoken to, coupled with her intelligence and empathy, has given her the status of national interviewer. Think of it as a symbolic role, like the poet laureate — someone whose job it is to ask the questions, with a degree of art and honor."
