I was transfixed. How often were you going to see an assembly of the
digerati of
this magnitude in one room for free? The atmosphere was electric and the
audience
totally engaged. What was great was that both sides of the issue were
represented
in the audience as well as on the panel. I believe the event reflected the
most satisfying side of this ancient academic institution. It was a
privilege to attend.
