Every speech maker knows that his or her first duty is to entertain. But the good ones know that real entertainment is not just jokes and stories, because an audience wants more. Once the listeners bite through the sugar coating they want to learn something. First, they want some new facts, things not already recycled endlessly in media sound bites. Even more, they want new perspectives. They want to hear something that will help them combine both old and new facts into provocative and hitherto unperceived patterns. No audience feels truly entertained until it knows this need for solid sustenance is being met.

JAMES V. DeLONG is based in Washington, D.C. He wrote the recent book PROPERTY MATTERS: How Property Rights Are Under Assault -- And Why You Should Care (Free Press, 1997), and the article, THE NEW CRIMINAL CLASSES: Legal Sanctions and Business Managers (National Legal Center for the Public Interest, 1997). Other work has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Times, the New York Times, Reason, the National Law Journal, the New Republic, Regulation, the Salt Lake Tribune, the Las Vegas Journal, the World & I, the New York Times Magazine, the Brookings Review, the Cato Institute's Policy Analysis series, and the Competitive Enterprise Institute's Environmental Studies series. He has also published widely in professional and scholarly journals.

Mr. DeLong has spoken before many business and professional groups, and has testified often before state and federal legislative bodies. He participates frequently in talk radio shows.

Mr. DeLong's prior positions include service as a manager in both the government and private sectors. He started his career as a litigation lawyer in a large law firm. Mr. DeLong was a magna cum laude graduate of Harvard Law School, where he was Book Review Editor of the Harvard Law Review, and a cum laude graduate of Harvard College, where he majored in U.S. history.
