Description

In this video podcast, recorded at the Academy of Achievement's 1996 Summit in Sun Valley, Idaho, Professor Wiesel begins his address with humorous remarks about public speaking and his own celebrity, but soon moves to more serious topics. Quoting the French poet Paul Valery, he identifies the importance of fervor in life. He addresses a number of topics in the news, including a series of arson attacks on African American churches, and the demonstrations against Pope John Paul II's visit to Berlin. He closes with a Talmudic fable, bearing a message for the Academy's student delegates.
