Nanci Pelosi in Town
Then I found the Commonwealth Club. This is a non-partisan forum which features internationally renowned speakers and makes them accessible to the general public! My first thought was that I did not have the influence to attend such events and that they were only for the elite. I was wrong.
American Politics and the Need for Knight Errantry
I shall impersonate a man. His name is Alonso Quijana, a country squire no longer young. Being retired, he has much time for books.
