6 жыл бұрынThis was the commencement address in 1998 at Rice when I got my PhD - talk about winning the commencement speaker lottery! :) I got this from John Campbell's channel on Vimeo, and I copied it here just so more people might stumble onto it.

Very beautiful. This is a gift to us. Thanks for posting this! There is a really cool interview on C-SPAN on Vonnegut, and Heller: Battle of the Bulge and V-E Day. Interviewed by Stephen Ambrose. Stay safe peoples, and wear a mask (unless your drinking and bowling).

Vonnegut: I have no name for it, and I hope nobody else comes up with one... You: OH BOY CAN I NAME THIS THING!!!
