Many of the documents are Microsoft Office Format, and if you don't have Microsoft Office they won't open. Then visit this link, and drivers are available to allow you to open and read and print any Office document - from Word and Excel to Powerpoint. Do not have a power point reader on your computer? Use MICRO SOFTS' free reader (click logo on left).
Better yet, install the FREE FULL Office Suite from Sun's OpenOffice. It reads Power Point and MS too.

Sidenote: This address is all the more remarkable because within days after delivering this fine paper, Ron passed away.
