We are each want to speak about 10 minutes. Just a few roof remarks about the literature on the 1970s and thinking about the 1970s and what this unique time means to us today. And then we would like to open it up for a lot of conversation both w...

David brooks i thought it was going to be a humor column. Either i was not funny enough or the audience is further to the left and are not rooting for you so that changed. Maybe every other column is political. That is where my interests have gone. I learned you have to trust your interests, what are you passionate about this week. That is what you want to share with readers. I have come to believe that religious, cultural, and moral investigations or what i care most about at this stage in life...

Brian lamb why are they named after sidney hook . David brooks because he was a reflective philosopher. I was at stanford at the Hoover Institution and we had coffee and cookies. And there was one table where the economists sat, milton friedman. And the other was sidney hook. And i got to choose which table to sit at. I remember one time, he explained the problem of evil over about three hours. Six or seven or eight of us just listening to him. He is an exemplar of a person who is passionately e...

So, one of the things that we were thinking about in setting up this panel is the central role of the idea of crisis in thinking you about the 1970s, both in the contemporary political imagination of the time and also in historical scholarship. From water bait to the Energy Crisis, the urban crisis the fiscal crisis, the rhetoric of the era is infused with this sense of danger and awareness of historical change.

Prior to the 1970s, you h...
