A couple of speakers will be coming to Duke that may be of interest to some of you Raleigh folk. I'm not sure if they're open to non-students.

Forwarded text, courtesy of Nathan Carleton:

"...John Stossel of ABC's 20/20 will be at Page Auditorium (West Campus) at 8:00 pm. The speech, sponsored by the Major Speakers Committee, will be free and is entitled "Freedom and Its Enemies." There will also be a free reception following the lecture in the Old Trinity Room, (ground floor of the West Union Building). Stossel is somewhat of a libertarian and does great work...should be worthwhile.

ALSO, Ann Coulter, the author of instant classics Slander and Treason , will be speaking at 7 pm at the UNC Law School. Perhaps some of us could meet at the West Campus bus stop and take the 5:30 or 6 Robertson bus.

Seating for the Stossel speech will not be a problem, but it will be for Ann Coulter. The guy from UNC needs to know how many of us to expect so if you want to see her Wednesday e-mail me back ASAP...."

I saw that speech of Stossel's here in Tucson a few months ago - pretty good. He was really nice, and hung around for questions afterward.

I haven't read enough of Coulter to know how much she distorts the facts, but people whose opinions I respect don't think highly of her.

As for Stossel, I don't know that he has "allergy" to the facts--on the whole, the segments I've seen have been consistent with what I know about the issues. What specifically do you refer to?
