About ten years ago our Read and Practice Peacemaking (RAPP) read Chris Hedges’ Empire Of Illusion. He’s a brilliant observer of culture and a powerful writer. He and NYT parted ways when he came out against the wars. He now writes for Truthdig. He’s on a tour Fuji’s most recent book and will be speaking in Claremont next Sunday. I’m going with Paige and a few others. Anyone interested?
