This long lecture is devoted to Xia Gui, the artist who is, in the speaker's opinion, the greatest of the Four Great Masters. It includes an especially long treatment of his masterwork, the "Pure and Remote View of Streams and Mountains" handscroll. A myth or program of this and many other Southern Song Academy paintings, the "lyric journey," is introduced as underlying this scroll and determining its basic structure. Questions of authenticity and problems of constructing a body of reliable works for this master occupy much of the discussion.
"Nuclear Power and the Challenges of Global Climate Change and Nuclear Proliferation"
Jacques Bouchard, French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA)
Conversations host Harry Kreisler welcomes Jacques Bouchard, Special Adviser to the Chairman of the French Atomic Energy Commission, for a discussion of French energy policy and its reliance on nuclear power. Drawing on the French experience, he argues for the utility of nuclear power in dealing with global warming. Dr. Bouchard also explains the role of the nuclear engineer in responding to the technical needs generated by new challenges in design and safety, and he discusses his work in preparing the French nuclear forces for the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty. Dr. Bouchard also analyzes how nuclear engineering working with an effective international regime can address the problem of nuclear proliferation in cases such as Iran.
