The real person behind the hit movie starring Robin Williams, Patch Adams is both a healthcare
physician and a professional clown. He is founder of the Gesundheit! Institute, a holistic health
facility emphasizing laughter and humor as an essential part of the healing process. During one
pilot project, over 15,000 people were provided with free medical care at the Institute, which
integrated medicine with performing arts, arts and crafts, agriculture, nature, education,
recreation and social service. Patch Adams travels all over the world spreading his humor and
therapy, including visits to prisons and war zones. Patch Adams believes that being happy is
“the most important health factor in your life.” Co-sponsored with Wilson Commons Student
Activities and the Campus Activities Board (CAB). Hubbell Auditorium at 7 p.m.
February 15 - John Harris
Noted editor at the Washington Post, John Harris will talk about his new book about
presidential politics, The Way to Win. Its thesis is that the two people with the greatest
understanding about how to win modern presidential campaigns are Bill Clinton and Karl Rove.
Though vastly different men, with radically divergent ideas about where they would lead the
country, in fact many of Clinton's and Rove's Trade Secrets for winning elections are similar.
The person who intends to borrow from the experience and strategic lessons of both men for
her likely presidential run in 2008 is none other than Hillary Rodham Clinton.
John Harris was the Post's White House reporter during the Clinton presidency, and is now the
National Politics Editor. His history of Clinton's presidency, THE SURIVOR: Bill Clinton in the
White House, was a New York Times bestseller and Times notable book of the year. His second book, The Way to
Win, was written with co-author Mark Halperin, the political director of ABC News. Hawkins-Carlson Room,
Rush Rhees Library at 5 p.m.
March 22 - Laura Nash
Senior lecturer at Harvard Business School in the Entrepreneurial Management unit, Laura
Nash will explore critical problems with dominant models of success today and how they
impact performance, leadership, and commitment in a talk titled “Just Enough—Foundation for
Lasting Success.” Nash is co- author of Just Enough: Tools for Creating Success in Your Work
and Life. Drawing on her extensive research, she presents a different model, based on the
metaphor of a kaleidoscope, which captures the chief ingredients of lasting success, i.e.,
accomplishments that “last” in satisfaction because they are worth it to you and others. Nash
explores the critical dimensions of lasting success and ways to use the model to check in,
rebalance, and set the next goals in ways that align with these deep aspirations. She explores
�what constitutes the core ingredients of real success; how to strategize productively about
your own needs and opportunities over a lifetime—not to mention the needs of others whom you care about;
how to anticipate the key reasons why high achievers can pursue a form of success that they and others around
them do not want; and how to foster a reasoned sense of Just Enough. Nash has a PhD in classical philosophy
from Harvard University and has written and taught on business ethics and leadership for twenty-five years.
Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library at 5 p.m.
April 19 - Lynn Freed
Author of Reading, Writing and Leaving Home, Lynn Freed will discuss her writing, including
some works not yet published. The New York Times described Reading, Writing and Leaving
Home as a wry lively series of essays that were a welcome exception from the usual writer’s
memoir, and in which “over the course of this book, she proves wonderful company,
entertaining and astute, ruthless in her willingness to sacrifice even the people she loves for
the sake of a story.” Freed displays relentless candor about the “sloughs of not writing, the
false starts, the frustration and despair.” Five of her books have appeared on The New York
Times Notable Books of the Year list: Home Ground, The Bungalow, The Mirror, House of
Women, and The Curse of the Appropriate Man. Freed is Professor of English at the University
of California at Davis. Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library at 5 p.m.
May 1- John Pickstone
John Pickstone on “Describing, Analysing and Controlling Life: The Past and Present of Biomedical (& other) Sciences.” Pickstone is the author of Ways of Knowing: a New History of
Modern Science, Technology and Medicine. He leads the ongoing Wellcome (England) project
on the history of cancer in Britain, beginning from the Second World War. He is also part of a
group examining the recent history of mental health services and looking at recent changes in
the NHS more generally. He is particularly interested in the uses of history in determining
health policy. His work on Ways of Knowing grew from a conviction that through some of the
hundreds of papers produced on the history of science, technology and medicine since the
1960s, we might develop new and better frames for understanding long-term history; and that
such frames might allow more ‘fertilisation’ between case studies, across time and across
disciplines.
Pickstone is the founding Director of the Centre for the History of Science, Technology & Medicine at the
University of Manchester, and Professor of the History of Science at the Centre and at the Wellcome Unit for the
History of Medicine. Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library at 5 p.m.
