Onto a commute to the National Book festival and to this presentation on the new book, our declaration. Earlier today Walter Isaacson discussed his book, the innovators in which he places creativity at the intersection of science and art. Danielle allen, the author of our declaration finds her creativity at the intersection of classical studies and political theory, subject of which she is a master or a doctor tissue holds ph. D. S in both subjects. Isakson found that the brilliance that gave the world a programmable computer and eventually the internet could not have come from the inspired efforts of an individual. Of necessity they sprang from the collaboration of many inspired individuals. Similarly dr. Allen finds the assembling of the 1337 words of the declaration of independence was the result of a vast array of conversations, collaborations and debates among a surprisingly large number of collaborators. Indeed, this book itself is a brilliance collaboration. While a single hand,

Hes retiring from his position at the university of richmond this summer. While its a great loss for the university to be sure a prospect of dr. Aires devoting his immense energies once again, to history is good news for the rest of us. Its my pleasure to introduce to you dr. Ed aires. Thank you. There are, indeed, very many of you. And its conve
