Chomsky was amazing, as usual. I especially enjoy his understanding of economic issues and his sweeping and thorough knowlege of U.S. and Foreign affairs and history. Not surprisingly, the Lawrence Eagle Tribune refused to cover the event. Not lacking in irony, they endorsed the construction of the ornate Rogers Hall it was held in. I'm in the process of writing a clear, yet nasty letter to the Editor in Chief---nasty meaning upbraiding and critical, but not rude. Rudeness is pretentious I feel and just alienates your audience whereby they just write you off as some fanatic.

I'm reading up now on Chomsky's deliberations on Nixon and Watergate and Bay of Pigs. Intriguing shit .. I recommend it to anyone.
