On Wednesday, February 16, at 4:15 in The John Wheeler Lecture Hall (RLM
4.102), the Department of Physics under the auspices of the Oakes
Undergraduate Lecture Endowment is sponsoring a lecture by Professor Burton
Richter titled “Energy in the 21st Century: The Economy, Security, and the
Environment.”  Professor Richter is a Nobel Lauraete, Emeritus Director of
the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center and a just plain darn good physicist.
For the past few years, he has been studying energy policy and recently
wrote a very good book called “Beyond Smoke and Mirrors” about the global
warming issue.  This talk promises to be very interesting.
