Who will I see tonight at Bluestockings?

(Anyone? Bueller?)

Since I have two new books recently published, I will be giving a talk at Bluestockings Bookstore tonight:

Saturday, November 15 @ 7:00 pm (sharp)

Mickey Z. Does Stand-Up Tragedy

I hope you’ll join us, bring friends, and buy a book or two.

Meanwhile, duty calls...

“Individuals have international duties which transcend the national obligations of obedience… Therefore [individual citizens] have the duty to violate domestic laws to prevent crimes against peace and humanity from occurring.”
(from the Nuremberg Tribunal)

“Anyone with knowledge of illegal activity and an opportunity to do something about it is a potential criminal under international law unless the person takes affirmative measures to prevent the commission of crimes.”
(from the Tokyo War Crimes Tribunal)

Ramsey Clark sez: “Sadly, I think most Americans don’t have an opinion about our foreign policy. Worse than that, when they do think about it, it’s in terms of the demonization of enemies and the exaltation of our capacity for violence.”
