Thursday,
January 8th @ 6:00 pm COMMONWEALTH CLUB Zeke Emanuel Healthcare Guaranteed No more Band-Aids or patches, says Zeke Emanuel; it's time for a complete overhaul of healthcare as we know it. America spends more than $2 trillion on healthcare, more than any other developed nation. But money does not guarantee a better system. Instead, 47 million Americans go without insurance. In addition, many people suffer poor health, and often suffer financial difficulties as a result. Emanuel offers a bold new proposal to completely restructure our system, which he says will save money, allow for choice and give all Americans health-care coverage. Please note: This event will take place at the Commonwealth Club, next door to Stacey’s at 595 Market Street, 2nd Floor. Admission is free. Check-in is at 5:30 pm. For reservations and information, please call 415-597-6705. Monday, January 12th @ 6:00 pm WORLD AFFAIRS COUNCIL John Diamond The CIA and the Culture of Failure The 9/11 attacks and the War in Iraq sprang in no small part from massive intelligence failures, that much is well understood. How the CIA got to a point where it could fail so catastrophically is not. John Diamond begins by looking at US intelligence during the dozen years from the end of the Cold War to the invasion of Iraq in early 2003 as a defining period in CIA history. Diamond argues that while the CIA had a role in the successful outcome of the Cold War, it also became a source of ridicule for missing the collapse of the Soviet Union. And so with its main mission at an end, the Agency faced staff and budget reductions and a decline in morale as it struggled to prove its relevance and redefine its role. It was during this period, when the CIA was at its weakest, that the Agency made critical misjudgments about Iraq and missed the emergence of its gravest challenge: al Qaeda. Join the Council and John Diamond for an analysis of the CIA’s past activities and to take a look at where the Agency is heading in the years ahead. Please note: This event will take place at the World Affairs Council, 312 Sutter Street, 2nd Floor. Check in is at 5:30 pm. Admission is free for members, $5 for students, and $15 for non-members. For reservations and information, please call 415-293-4600. Tuesday, January 13th @ 12:30 STACEY’S COMMUNITY FORUM Business School Admissions Seminar Stop making New Year’s resolutions and start making some changes.

Wednesday, January 14th @ 12:30 Carl Djerassi Four Jews on Parnassus: A Conversation: Benjamin, Adorno, Scholem, Schoenberg Carl Djerrassi may be best known as the inventor of The Pill, but he is truly a renaissance man: an award-winning scientist, professor of chemistry, playwright, historian and author. In Four Jews on Parnassus, he has envisioned a conversation among the Jewish philosophers Theodor Adorno, Walter Benjamin, Arnold Schoenberg and Gershom Gerhard Scholem. Wednesday, January 14th @ 11:45 am COMMONWEALTH CLUB Robert Reich Supercapitalism As the economy nose-dives into a crisis of unknown depths, hear renowned economist and former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich lay out his thoughts on what lurks around the financial corner in 2009. Drawing on his years of experience both in and out of the political sphere, and sifting through the mountain of financial data, fiscal indicators, and government spin, Reich—who has been rumored as a contender for a position in the Obama administration—will cut through the hysteria and hyperbole to reveal where we're headed in '09. Please note: This event is for Members Only plus one guest. It will take place at the Hotel Nikko Ballroom, 222 Mason Street. Admission is $65 for members, $75 for non-members. Lunch is at 11:45 a.m. The program starts at 12:30 pm. For reservations and information, please call 415-597-6705. Wednesday, January 14th @ 6:00 pm COMMONWEALTH CLUB Ron Suskind The Way of the World Pulitzer Prize winner Ron Suskind offers an original outlook on the world we live in, while at the same time breaking major news about what he believes the Bush administration knew about pre-Iraq-war intelligence. Join us for an exclusive discussion with Suskind about what President-Elect Obama faces, how best to deal with the transition from current policies to a new era and how we might restore our standing in the world. Please note: This event will take place at the Commonwealth Club, next door to Stacey’s at 595 Market Street, 2nd Floor. Admission is $12 for members, $18 for non-members. Check-in is at 5:30 pm.

Wednesday, January 14th @ 6:00 pm COMMONWEALTH CLUB/INFORUM Manisha Thakor and Sharon Kedar On My Own Two Feet In a time when an estimated 70 percent of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and over half of women in their 20s and 30s report that "money is for spending, not for saving," it is more important than ever for women to understand personal finance. Recognized in the industry for their financial acumen, Manisha Thakor and Sharon Kedar will tell us how to reach savings goals, invest in stocks, use index funds, super-size retirement savings, finance a house and protect ourselves financially in a relationship. Please note: For reservations and information, please call 415-597-6705. Thursday, January 15th @ 12:30 Kenneth Whyte The Uncrowned King: The Sensational Rise of William Randolph Hearst Kenneth Whyte, editor at Macleans, offers a lively and impeccably researched biography of William Randolph Hearst. The Uncrowned King reveals how an unheralded young newspaperman from San Francisco walked into the media capital of the world and created the most successful daily of his time, leading observers to wonder if newspapers might be "the greatest force in civilization," more powerful even than kings and popes and presidents. Friday, January 16th @ 12:30 Steven Johnson The Invention of Air The Invention of Air is the biography of Joseph Priestly, theologian and chemist—he discovered sulfur dioxide, nitrous oxide, ammonia gas and oxygen—who emigrated to America in search of intellectual freedom. Here, he was able to build conceptual bridges linking the scientific, political, and religious impulses that governed his life. And through his close relationships with the Founding Fathers, he influenced the shape and course of our history. |
