Thank you, jeff. Im honored to moderate this panel with four dear friends and valued colleagues. There is a concern afoot that as a moderator i might let it go to my head and try to interject myself too much in the discussion. So i will sit down there while they make their presentations and will come back up here during the actual q a time. You have the detailed bios of the speakers in your program so i will not repeat those first is professor richard emerman. His bio says he recent retired from temple university. I know richard well.

Next to him is a professor mel leffler of the university of virginia. Again, another titan in the field of diplomatic history. I started reading his books as an undergrad

Reporter iain, a make shift memorial is rising outside of the dark and blackened Lukens Family home. Early morning fire likely powered by heavy winds has claimed the lives of young lukens boys. Just after 5 00 on a blustery morning flames and smoke can be seen rising from the summit of a twostory home. Fire crews arrived to find brian lukens, his wife tracy and nineyearold daughter sophia out of the home. But sons brian, jr. , 11 and parker six remain inside where they perish.

You can see it piling up on the ben franklin parkway. And look at what our cameras are catching in wilmington. Snow is blanketing the roofs and a white haze kind of hovers over the city.

One left over work crew, the blue route, southbound at the schuylkill expressway. It looks like an accident. But it is not. It is all of the construction guys down to only one lane on that ramp there, reduced speeds on all of the area bridges, this morning. The overnight construction was canceled on the schuylkill, here is a exam
