 e make the decisions about what direction our society should take regarding
  energy -- we have to keep in mind that we need for it to be increasingly c
 lean\, secure\, and affordable.  What threats and problems should be 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 i
 ssues from the perspective of three very different and remarkable individua
 ls of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries who embody the stru
 ggles to preserve our natural world\, defend our freedom\, and lift the for
 tunes of the world's poor.  Could John Muir (1838 – 1914\, the Scottish-bor
 n 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 Partner\, V
