Recorded during the dinner celebration honoring George Shultz’s ninety-fifth birthday, these remarks demonstrate Shultz’s remarkable presence at Hoover, Stanford University, and in US politics. Stanford University president John Hennessy introduces Shultz and his wife, Charlotte; Bill Bradley delivers a keynote speech that outlines four guiding principles underlying good public policy and the political structures necessary to uphold those principles. He cites several historical examples to illustrate why, in many areas, political structures have deviated from tenets of sound policy and lessons for bringing them back into alignment.
