Another Week at the U of Chicago

This week I’ve been to lectures/programs/donor receptions with Bruce Cummings on Inventing the Axis of Evil: The Truth about North Korea, Iran and Syria, John Mearsheimer in an informal talk on why our strategy in Iraq was so ill conceived, Danielle Allen  “on translating ancient greek lyric poetry” (she swears she’s being literal in her translations, but it comes out in this beautiful street vernacular) {and oh, by the way, her next book is on Brown v. Board of Ed.}, and, oh yes, the Bontecou exhibition at the MCA.
