Dr. Feelgood/ Preventing Natural Disasters
In the first half, Richard A. Lertzman will discuss Dr. Max Jacobson, whom the Secret Service under President John F. Kennedy code-named "Dr. Feelgood." He developed a unique "energy formula" thought to contain methamphetamine and steroids that altered the paths of some of the twentieth century’s most iconic figures, including President and Jackie Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, and Elvis.
In the second half, Robert Muir-Wood talks about some of the most tragic natural disasters and how human complacency and poor planning contribute to them. He'll address what could be improved, and areas which are ripe for catastrophe if nothing changes.
