Twilight at Monticello: The Final Years of Thomas Jefferson

Tue, 19 Feb 2008 18:30:00 EST

(6:30pm, February 19, 2008)
Twilight at Monticello is an unprecedented and engrossing personal look at Thomas Jefferson in his final years that will change the way readers think about him. During the years from his return to Monticello in 1809 until his death in 1826, Jefferson dealt with illness and debt, corresponded with the leading figures of the Revolution, and became a radical decentralist and admirer of the New England townships, where, he believed, the real fire of liberty burned bright.

NATO's New Troubles: Afghanistan, Kosovo and the Future of the Alliance

Thu, 31 Jan 2008 11:00:00 EST

(11:00am, January 31, 2008)
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is facing a host of new challenges. In Afghanistan, NATO�s forces are being relentlessly attacked by the Taliban, and popular support for maintaining troops there is fading. The proposed deployment of antiballistic missiles, a potential flashpoint in Kosovo, and the growing tension between Russia and some of its neighbors all have the potential to divide members of the alliance. Meanwhile, NATO�s inability to deter a cyber attack that virtually paralyzed NATO member Estonia�s access to the Internet raises questions about the alliance�s ability to protect its newest members.
