The President Has Read "The Future of Ideas"

Just for a moment, television viewers across America watched one of our own chat with the President - President Bartlet, that is.  Last night on the hit series, "The West Wing," Professor Lawrence Lessig, formerly of the Berkman Center, currently of the Stanford Center for Internet & Society, was portrayed by the actor Christopher Lloyd (notably of "Taxi" and the Back to the Future series).  A copy of the clip can be found on Creative Commons Creative Director Matt Haughey's blog.  For the record, we at the Berkman Center think Mr. Lloyd is too, well, mature to appropriately play Lessig, though he did do a fine job!
