Abstract

I see that, according to the program, I am scheduled to deliver what is billed as "The Keynote Address". Normally, I would assume that the syllable "key" in keynote rather implies an operation analagous to the opening of a door, or perhaps providing a guide, to the program delights which are to follow.
