If you live in or near Los Angeles, Seattle, San Francisco, or Santa Barbara, then I'm heading your way this month. Most of these events are book discussions, open to the public, about my book Re-engage! America and the World After Bush.

Here's the schedule. We haven't put in all the times and details yet. But there is probably enough information here for you to be able to Google the institutions involved-- and my name-- and find out what you need.

As we get the detailed info, we'll be posting it on this web-page.

The help of JWN readers and fans in publicizing these events would be much appreciated!
