 We miss him very much this evening, but we're glad that he'll be joined by his longtime partner, Mark Thornton, and by his goddaughter, Madison Auld. I should mention that Dr. Thornton is himself an economist in the finest tradition of Hayek. He's a fellow at the Mises Institute and an editor at the Quarterly Journal of Austrian Economics. Could I ask both of you to stand, please? John Tierney, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute. Thank you. Thank you.
