RECOMMENDED VIEWING
A little change of pace.
Dr. Thomas P.M. Barnett at TED (TED videos are usually outstanding – someday I’ll have to finagle an invite to TED). Tom’s presentation skills have really been honed in the sense of taking insider mil-issues and getting the concepts across to a lay audience, slick and fast, on their level, without oversimplifying. It’s an artful trick that takes considerable practice to master, much less make look easy.Conversations With History, featuring Christopher Hitchens.
Hitchens is always an erudite interview, this is no exception.
On a lighthearted note, some pedagogy from the masters of slapstick. ;o)

I watched the Barnett TED talk a few weeks ago and was impressed with his presentation. He really carries the audience and manages to inject an energy and sense of humor that’s captivating.

Hi Soob,
I agree – he’s far more smooth than with the original brief.
