Robert S. McNamara

So, no sooner than I finish reading Daniel Ellsberg's Secrets: A Memoir of Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers, but who decides to make a public appearance in Berkeley? None other than Robert S. McNamara, Ellsberg's boss's boss at the Pentagon, secretary of defense at the time and now holding the rather damning title of "Architect of the Vietnam War." That's right, Mr. McNamara will be in our very own Zellerbach Hall tomorrow night.

But there are no more tickets! Uurgh! When I first went there were no tickets yet and the next time there were no tickets left. Rebekah went to the J-School and managed to scrounge some tickets.. but none for me. )-:

It'll be webcast.. but that's not quite the same.

Update: a ticket was found for me, by Jessee. yay!

someone is bound to be selling some before the event, don't you think?
