 \n\nAs we make the decisions about what direction our society should take r
 egarding energy -- we have to keep in mind that we need for it to be increa
 singly clean\, secure\, and affordable.  What threats and problems should b
 e at the center of our concerns\, and what are some of the approaches that 
 can help us deal with all three needs? \n\nJim Woolsey will help us look at
  these issues from the perspective of three very different and remarkable i
 ndividuals of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries who embody 
 the struggles to preserve our natural world\, defend our freedom\, and lift
  the fortunes of the world's poor.  Could John Muir (1838 – 1914\, the Scot
 tish-born American naturalist\, author\, and early advocate of preservation
  of U.S. wilderness)\, General George S. Patton\, and Mahatma Gandhi agree 
 today on an energy policy for the future?\n\nR. JAMES WOOLSEY\, Venture Par
