I have taught history on the high school and college levels and am or have been a lecturer at the Smithsonian The National Institutes of Health and numerous colleges and universities mostly on science fiction and technology subjects.

I learnt pity sympathy and what it was like to be at the other end of the stick. Such lessons can't be learnt in lecture halls.

I believe that science fiction is as profound as you want it to be or it can be very simple entertainment and I'm all for very simple entertainment. Every now and then we all need to come home veg-out watch something and not think too deeply about it. It's what you want it to be. We tend to steer clear of being pedantic it's entertainment first otherwise we'd be on a lecture circuit.

We shall listen not lecture learn not threaten. We will enhance our safety by earning the respect of others and showing respect for them. In short our foreign policy will rest on the traditional American values of restraint and empathy not on military might.

I owed Lewis one thing at least. Once you had suffered the experience of presenting a case at one of his Monday morning conferences no other public appearance whether on radio TV or the lecture platform could hold any terrors for you.

As one gets older it happens that in the morning one fails to remember the airplane trip to be taken in a few hours or the lecture scheduled for the afternoon.

You can't just lecture the poor that they shouldn't riot or go to extremes. You have to make the means of legal redress available.

It's easier to lecture women on sexual morality than it is to explain why all Americans shouldn't have comprehensive fair and equal health care coverage.

I delivered lectures and I was also a consultant for international companies in finance both private equity and big venture capital funds.

I read Freud's Introductory Lectures in Psychoanalysis in basically one sitting. I decided to enroll in medical school. It was almost like a conversion experience.

Going to a party for me is as much a learning experience as you know sitting in a lecture.

It is just called Continuing Legal Education. You can go to lectures you can even listen to tapes on airplanes - they want you to stay current. So you do have to stay current to maintain your license even if you are not practicing.

When I enrolled in college at age 19 I had a total of eight years of formal classroom education. As a result I was not comfortable with formal lectures and receiving regular homework assignments.

Having George W. Bush giving a lecture on business ethics is like having a leper give you a facial it just doesn't work!

You will also allow me to thank the Academy for inviting me to lecture in Stockholm for its hospitality and for the opportunity afforded me for admiring the charm of your people and the beauty of your country.
