1. About this Monday
when: Monday at 7:00 pm
where: 16 beaver street, 5th floor
what: a discussion about the unfolding US relation to Iraq
and the text "Desert Screen" by Paul Virilio
AS ALWAYS, ALL are WELCOME to attend
Wow, it has been some weeks since we organized
a reading! So we hope that those who have been
waiting impatiently for an opportunity to read
and discuss and choose some texts to consider
this Fall, will take the opportunity to come
this Monday.
Some of the participants this Monday will also
report back from the Anti-War protests in
Washington D.C.. This reading may also be
of interest for those who plan to attend the
Location One event on Wed. Night (See Events
Calendar).
