0:00.0 | I'm Dr. Theta Palmer, Sackston. I'm a resident of 160 West 97 Street here in New York City, |
0:12.6 | Upper West Side. Is that enough that you need to know about this situation? |
0:18.2 | I, for one, wouldn't mind knowing a bit more. Why, for instance, Dr. Sackston has chosen |

0:26.0 | I cannot possibly be quiet while I hear something that we thought, you know, Mandela had |
