addition, roughly 800 people filled two auditoriums in the Science
Center for a live broadcast of the former Soviet leader's 45-minute
talk on November 11. In his opening comments, Gorbachev described
how he had been shaped by events in Soviet history. He also cited
his education at Moscow University and his travel to Western countries
as key formative experiences. Gorbachev went on to defend the reforms
he enacted during his six years in office. He urged the audience
to take a longer view of the processes he set in motion, saying
that his years in power marked only the beginning of the "Gorbachev
era.">>
