The buzz-theme of the week appears to be the delicate legal balance between national security and personal liberties. Three important events address the topic. Nov. 16 Hudson Institute president Herb London returned to Indianapolis to debate ACLU president Nadine Strossen.
Nov. 17 IU-Indianapolis Law Professor William Bradford talks to the Indiana Council on World Affairs about the implications for international law and security of the reelection of president Bush.
And on Friday Scott Bates, senior policy advisor to the US House Select committee on Homeland Security (and IU Law prof) talks about the war on terrorism, failed states, and civil liberties at home and abroad.
Residents of Central Indiana will have no excuse for being ill-informed about this most crucial of issues! Add to this visitors to Indianapolis by authors of two of the best and most important books to come out in years: Jason deParle (welfare reform) and Azar Nafisi (Reading Lolita in Tehran) ... it's a busy week.
As always, tell me about any events that should be publicized, and let me know what you think about the site in general: john@sipr.org. See you at these events (I hope),

Welcome to IndyBuzz
IndyBuzz provides information about Central Indiana's most stimulating and thought provoking events -- discussions and conferences, art exhibitions, films, music performances. It tells you what's happening … explains why you should be part of what’s happening. More than an events calendar, though, IndyBuzz tries to make events more meaningful for participants by suggesting an article or two to read before the event, recommending books or websites that will be sources of further information after the event, and pointing out related events that are worth attending.
