*****************************************
ABSTRACT: Presentations at professional meetings are usually soporific.
For almost half a century physicists such as K.K. Darrow, Jim Garland, and
David Mermin wrote articles which failed to improve the quality of talks at
meetings of the American Physical Society (APS) and the American
Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) . But hope springs eternal. Perhaps
the insightful Scott Berkun, coming out of Carnegie Mellon with a degree in
Logic and Computation, and a sterling record of publications, can stem the
tide of mediocrity with his latest book "Confessions of a Public Speaker."
