Monday, May
12th @ 8:00 pm JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER Ben Katchor and Josh Kornbluth Julius Knipl, Real Estate Photographer and Red Diaper Baby  The gently surreal culture in many of Ben Katchor’s strips includes hucksters, butter-and-egg men, latter-day Kabbalists, and merchants living in a wonderland of tin ceilings, illuminated storefronts, and unusual enterprises such as the Senseless Elaboration Parlor and the Mortal Coil Mattress Store. The first cartoonist to win a MacArthur "genius grant," Katchor is the author of The Jew of New York, Julius Knipl, Real Estate Photographer and The Cardboard Valise.

Tuesday, May 13th @ 12:30 Raj Patel Stuffed and Starved It is difficult to pick up a newspaper without reading about increasing food crises in much of the world or the epidemic of obesity in America. Raj Patel argues that both are symptoms of the corporate food monopoly. From seed to store to plate, Stuffed and Starved explains the steps to regain control of the global food economy, stop the exploitation of farmers and consumers, and rebalance global sustenance. Tuesday, May 13th @ 6:00 pm COMMONWEALTH CLUB Eleanor Clift Two Weeks of Life Eleanor Clift's husband died of cancer one day apart from Terry Schaivo, the brain-damaged women whose family was thrust onto the public and political stage as they battled over whether or not to end her life. Clift believes this incident gave many Americans a glimpse into the fanaticism and political power of a small minority of the religious right. She shares what she has learned and outlines where she feels we may be headed. Please note: This event will take place at the Commonwealth Club, next door to Stacey’s at 595 Market Street, 2nd Floor.

Monday, May 19th @ Noon COMMONWEALTH CLUB Arianna Huffington Right is Wrong: How the Lunatic Fringe Hijacked America, Shredded the Constitution and Made Us All Less Safe For Arianna Huffington, the problem with the Republican Party is not that it is at odds with the views of progressives, but that its "lunatic fringe" has taken over the party and is at odds with the views of the American people. By significant majorities, Americans believe in the science of evolution, don't want Roe v Wade overturned, don't want to ignore global warming, want good health care for their kids and want to bring our troops home from Iraq. "Flashing back to the Reagan era is one thing," says Huffington, "but flashing back to the Dark Ages is quite another." Please note: This event will take place at the Fairmont Hotel, 950 Mason Street. Admission is $15 for members, $30 for non-members. Premium seating is $45 for members, $65 for non-members.
