This is an hour-lecture by Asimov from 1974. It ends with a Q&A.
This includes material ranging from fannish pandering bingo to some interesting stuff. Interesting to revisit the Fusion by 2000 or Dooooom stuff from the 1970s; did people just not know about all the coal under the ground or what?
I feel for the guy who mangles "Andromeda". I certainly have words I will only use in written form, although not that one; I guess his school didn't touch on the Greek myths.

Dick's first published story as read by Mac Kelly. A human space man buys a Martian creature, a Wub, planning to eat it. The Wub objects but the captain seems resolute in his purpose.
This is a short episode (although it also includes some excerpts of other works)
I've run into this before, haven't I? From time to time the voice of the Wub reminded me of Richard Nixon, which was a bit odd.

Last Friday, Justice Minister Rob Nicholson was served notice of a Quebec court challenge to the law Parliament passed to agree with British rule changes for the Royal line of succession.
A group of legal scholars and Constitutional experts from Quebec consulted with like-minded lawyers, academics and monarchy experts from across Canada to prepare the motion, filed in Quebec Superior Court.
The challenge is not an objection to changing the rules around who can become king or queen. Instead, the group says it objects strongly to the manner in which the federal government chose to change those rules
