  Oh, THAT transcript, eh? Damn shame they're making you remove it. It was a pleasure reading while it lasted. I'll miss it.

  If it hangs around for a few more months it might end up on the wayback machine. Perhaps someone knows a way to speed that up.

  The answer to this belligrence is simple. Bomb these terrorists now. Send a predator drone to Californistan immediately. Destroy the UCLA-iban!

  To anyone who hasn't read this yet I strongly suggest you download it now before it goes away. For anyone interested in the Austrian school this will be one of the quickest, most enjoyable reads out there. There are so many great anecdotes about the great personalities Hayek came into contact with. Hayek is genuinely funny at times. It makes me wish there were comparable interviews with the other greats of the Austrian school.

  Haas: You made my day--my first "lol".....ever!

  Prashanth: You're welcome!

  Rob: I have a favor to ask. Can you walk me through the embedded linking process? I did read Jeffrey Tucker's "Learn to Link...or Die", but I don't even know where to begin. It can't be that difficult,,,,,

  P.M.: A thousand thanks! Who knew there was such a marvel as the wayback machine?

  Deb, have a look here, namely sections "An HTML Link" and "The href Attribute". Practice with the "Preview" button here until the links work to your satisfaction. Google for more resources as needed.

  Damn UCLA hippies!

  But why not ask _them_ to host the rebuilt version in that case, if they want to sit on it? The only disadvantage is the hassle if they lose the content during a future website rebuild (always a hassle with websites.. and libraries of course)

  Thanks for the info Jeff. This will earn the UCLA a nice quotation from the oral history in my Ph.D. thesis. :P

  Wow I just saw this oral history today, and it's indeed a fun read. I'm only like one-fourth through it and I've had plenty of LOLs. This is funnier than even Rothbard's 'irrepressible' articles.

  I seem to remember Ralph Raico or some other old dude making fun of Hayek for having a lack of sense of humor. Which is perplexing, in light of the oral history transcript, not to mention Hayek's other interviews.

  UCLA is a govt school. How can it rationally claim something widely circulating in the public domain is their private property? Are they stupid or nuts?

  I'm kind of confused, but I think I'm reading this thread as a call for all readers to download the transcript (Coral cache in case original goes down)? UCLA sure has an odd way of communicating that, though. Must be some kind of reverse-psychology thing.

  Does anyone think it's strange that I keep a backup of pretty much the entire Mises Literature section on my computer harddrive? :)

  They probly lost a billion dollars on derivatives but they plan to make it back by selling the rights to transcripts of 50 year old speeches.

  Maybe you could create a transcript of somebody reading that transcript.

  Does the original audio of these interviews still exist? If so, is there any place one can obtain them? I really enjoy hearing Hayek's ideas in his own voice.

  The transcript is a gem. It deserves to be well preserved in the form of many many backup copies.

  Hey, that looks better than the original. Did you hand-transcribe that from the original typewritten text onto word processor?
