Athenaeum Talk

Tonight I heard James Fallows speak at the CMC Athenaeum. His topic was "The 'Axis of Evil' and Beyond: U.S. Foreign Policy in a Complex and Dangerous World." He has been living in Beijing for the past year and began his presentation with a slide show of various things, including the horrendous smog we've heard about, and a few of the billion people who live ordinary, poor lives in China. He was engaging and funny, and made me think I should probably go out and get an Atlantic Monthly (which I haven't done in a long while).
