From the Hutchins Center somewhere it was canceled he cannot be with us today but he is probably watching on his phone or weighing in on everything i did wrong. But we think the question that the backward looking question our thinking about is how did that policy work . And could be considered conventional policy but one of the questions is given everything that we know that is the right one.

Scenter are thinking about, is how did unconventional policy really work . And should unconventional policy really be considered conventional policy .
