Favorite orator

One of my favorite orators of all time is Randy Pausch.
A little background: He was a genius,a Carnegie Mellon professor in virtual reality who found out one day( in September 2007) that he has pancreatic cancer and has a few months to live. He was married and had two small children.
There is a tradition in Carnegie Mellon that when a professor retires , he is supposed to give a last lecture. So Pausch did,well before his time and its one of the best lectures I have heard.

It will take some time.
