We will base our discussions on three free subscription newsletters. Two of the newsletters, from Heather Cox Richardson (US history) and Joyce Vance (US attorney), will give a historical vs. judicial perspective to the latest news. The third newsletter will rotate among Paul Krugman (economist), Timothy Snyder (European history), Scott Dworkin (journalist), Robert Reich (lawyer), and others. They each offer a different perspective through their own professional lens of the news. Coordinators will select three newsletters each week: one each from Heather Cox Richardson and Joyce Vance, plus an additional one from the others.There may be a guest speaker with a background in government in each six-week session. Please read the three newsletters forwarded to you prior to the first class. We look forward to great discussions! Note: We will offer a continuation of this discussion course in the second six weeks.
