MARTY: Welmek has given me a certain amount of artistic liberty. As he said, he's in charge; but he told me in my session that I could do this however I want to, so I guess now I'm in charge. I must say that I have spoken to groups on many occasions. I find myself more nervous on this occasion than many other times when I have made presentations. For seven years I was on the faculty at the National Judicial College in Reno, Nevada, where I taught judges; but I find that I'm more nervous now in speaking to you people who I think I have a lot more in common with than many of the judges I spoke to. Let me tell you what my agenda is, or at least, how I want to organize what I'd like to do here. I have prepared some thoughts which I assembled based upon a two-hour session which I had with Welmek, which I found to be utterly fascinating. Before that I'd like to say a few things about the significance of this subject. I've given a lot of thought to this over a number of weeks since Welmek indicated to me what my topic was going to be. Originally he told me that I could select my own topic, but he changed those rules at one of our sessions and told me what my topic would be and later said "I hope I didn't put you on the spot." | MARTY: Welmek has given me a certain amount of artistic liberty.
