 I just want to introduce the first speaker this morning, Professor Walter Block, so Professor of Economics at the University of Loyola University in New Orleans, also of more than a dozen of books and a few thousand articles. Walter is, like myself, an indirect student of Murray Ross Barts, and I still vividly remember our first encounter more than 30 years ago. I was working with Murray Ross Barts in Brooklyn, and Walter came for a visit, and we went out together to have dinner, and that night on the way home from the dinner that we had, just before I had reached my flat in Brooklyn, I was mugged by two people. I was screaming for help in German. At that time, I guess because of that dog started barking immediately, I defected myself. The only thing that I had with me was the sole manuscript of my first English book, which otherwise would have been published under a black guy's name. So fortunately, I could prevent that, and the only damage was some broken glasses and some scars on my arms, but this is what I wanted to tell Walter about security in the United States because for many years he was afraid to come to this place. Nothing like this has happened to me here. So with this, Walter, please.
