IMPORTANT upcoming event

[PANYS nyc]

Hi everyone,

We've been out of the Google group universe for the past few months
but we are back and have some excellent upcoming events:

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28 --
5:30 - 6:30 pm - special cocktail party with the authors. Suggested
sponsor rate: $250, minimum donation $100, includes book

7-9 PM COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, School for International and Public
Affairs, room 1501 (Faculty Room). TICKETS $10

Join us for a very special event bringing together some of the most
inspiring and influential speakers on Iran: Steven Kinzer (former NY
Times correspondent; author: All the Shah's Men, Overthrow), Chris
Hedges (War is a Force that Gives Us Meaning), Ervand Abrahamian
(Baruch College professor and author on Iranian history and politics),
and Bill Berkeley (journalism professor, former NY Times reporter and
author of an upcoming book on Iran's 1979 hostage takers). These men
will engage in a conversation about Iran's history, current political
situation and why diplomacy is our best option.

This event is part of a national tour by Steven Kinzer to raise
awareness about Iran and the terrible foreign policy stance the U.S.
has taken. For more information about the tour, see www.thefollyofattackingiran.org
