SUMMARY:Real Education: Four Simple Truths for Bringing America’s Schools Back to Reality
DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/1139746/ ] Host: The Cato Institute. Featuring the author\, Charles Murray\, W.H. Brady Scholar\, American Enterprise Institute\; with comments by Christopher B. Nelson\, President\, St. John’s College. Moderated by Neal McCluskey\, Associate Director\, Center for Educational Freedom\, Cato Institute.
      
      One message is delivered relentlessly in American education: Everyone should go to college. And then there’s Charles Murray’s message: Few people either need\, or are able to handle\, the rigorous liberal-arts training that college is supposed to provide. But this isn’t a death sentence for those who are not academically inclined. Opportunities to enter well-paying professions and lead good lives abound for these people\, and the sooner that’s recognized\, the sooner everyone can get the education they need. Christopher B. Nelson\, whose “great books” college provides the sort of liberal arts education Murray believes is beyond most people’s reach\, will respond.

SUMMARY:Book Forum: The Crime of Reason and the Closing of the Scientific Mind
DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/1151998/ ] Host: The Cato Institute. Featuring the author Robert B. Laughlin\, Nobel Laureate in Physics and Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Professor of Physics\, Stanford University\; with comments byThomas Sydnor\, Senior Fellow and Director of the Center for the Study of Digital Property at the Progress & Freedom Foundation. Moderated by Jim Harper\, Director of Information Policy Studies\, Cato Institute.
      Though we may feel inundated with information today\, Nobel laureate Robert Laughlin argues that intellectual property laws and government security demands are increasingly restricting access to the most useful information. Government rules and businesses’ legal pressures to sequester information threaten the development of new knowledge\, he says. The rights of free people to investigate their world are threatened. Laughlin’s fresh perspective and light\, sometimes whimsical\, bent do not mask the central warning of his readable book: that we risk bequeathing our heirs a world where knowledge is criminalized and our intellectual tradition of unfettered inquiry is lost.
