"Highlights of the Stellar Plenary Talks at the January 2014 AAS Meeting"
I will review several talks on stellar topics at the 223rd AAS meeting in early January, and the work on which they were based. These included Ken Freeman's Henry Norris Russell Lecture on "galactic archeology," Rosemary Wyse's review of thick and thin disks in spiral galaxies, Jason Kalirai's Pierce Prize talk on white dwarfs, and Armin Rest's talk on fossil spectra of historical stellar outbursts as seen via light echoes.
