Abstract
This chapter is divided into three somewhat disjointed parts. I have not tried to create artificial transitions. The first section is an edited transcript of only part of what actually happened at the podium. The second part is something like a prepared paper. The third part is answers to a series of questions generated by the abstract I had sent. I have not deleted all repetitions. I wanted to keep the aura of the classroom.
