- A couple of month ago, I tuned into a PBS radio station (88.5 FM),
- and happened into the middle Common Wealth Club show speach.
- Since I did not hear the start of the lecture, I could only
- try guessing at who the was lecturer. Since I'd read a couple
- of Dr. Paul Ehrlich's books (Population Explosion and New World, New Mind),
- that was my guess. Bzzzz! It was Sen. Al Gore.
-
- So my conclusion, since Senators obviously have no brains
- their own :-), was the Gore has read some of Ehrlish's books also.
-
- So, John, have you ever meet Dr. Ehrlich? :-)
- Maybe you can get Dan to read some of your books. ;-)
