Table Talk

A Dream That Was America

Monday, March 23, 6pm

with William Rivers Pitt

William Rivers Pitt, essayist, journalist and political analyst from the Boston area, where he is also a teacher. Pitt is the author of two books - “The War on Iraq,” in which he interviews Scott Ritter, former UN Weapons Inspector, to debunk the key arguments of the Bush administration to launch a war on Iraq, and “The Greatest Sedition is Silence,” available in May, 2003. Believing that ‘the republic stands upon the edge of a knife,’ Pitt will share his perspective on the present administration and his belief that following the November election, ‘the next 24 months will be a frightening journey into territory this nation has never seen.’ While the shop belongs to Bush, Pitt contends that the people must be loud in demanding what is on the shelves. The message he brings to citizens is clear: “Here. Now. Do Something.”
