Oct 18, 2007 - When he was younger, Oliver Sachs was also a world-class powerlifter, in SoCal, during the mid-1960's. He was injured in a swimming accident and this -- coupled with his academic pursuits -- curtailed his lifting career. He is, according to the late strength author Steve Neece, credited with a full-squat of @ 650 pounds, ca. 1967.

Oct 23, 2007 - Thank you for sharing this amazing footage of Oliver The interviewer did just fine, he let Oliver continue and only prompted. Anyone would be out of their depth next to this guy.

Dec 4, 2007 - because he accepts that all humans want to be creative, he is an artist. Great to have artists in every profession and thank you, sir, for your contributions to compassion for the human experience.

Dec 13, 2007 - Have enjoyed listening to this interviewer conduct interviews over a 20 year period - from this evocative 1986 Oliver Sacks interview to hisLucy Komisar Febr 2006 interview - worth listening about corporate tax evasion [eg Enron] supported by profit-taking banks such as Citigroup -- all winked at by our executive and congressional branches and by the World Bank, while we citizens and poor countries finance this outrageous and crooked wealth

Feb 25, 2008 - hence the reason Robin Williams portrayed him in "Awakenings"

Nov 9, 2008 - Robin Williams actually played the character of Dr. Malcolm Sayer not Oliver Sacks in "Awakenings"

breeeegs Says:

Nov 9, 2008 - yes i know, but the character was modeled on Sacks and story was based on his findings with the drug L-Dopa

jedimasterbooboo Says:
