Thanks for all of the suggestions, past and future.
I will be reading the paper by Guariga and Vilenkin
In this case finding the correct level to present at is about as
difficult as compuring certain measures.I tend to be at a higher level
than most of the audience can easily understand, but in some cases it
generates thoughtful questions and prehaps gets some of them to think

I should add that this is for a US audience in Las Vegas.
I have problems discussing level III, because I tend to discribe it as
a single Universe with an infinte number of branching points.
