This is the speach to watch. Such a good presentation Alex, good job. Hopefully you will do more presenteations and they will be able to be viewed online, or close enough that I can go.

It’s fascinating to see these very educated, very civilized people
watching respectfully video evidences of a man breaking the law
about 3 billion times (as well as shortening his contemporaries’
life expectancy by a colossal magnitude).

What I mean here is that after the TV shows and other semi-official
honors, this reflects how much this run is an american symbol. Not
just because it is close history, but mostly because it is the
primal root of one nation’s history.

Absolutely fascinating. The lessons from this talk on planning, performance, analysis, evaluation, etc. have so many applications. Thank you, Alex, for making this available! Hope you had a blast at Quantico.
