Now that teaching is over for the summer, I can get back to reading, writing, and speaking. On the last note, here is what I will be up to for the next few weeks:May 13: Private lecture to the Leadership Program of the Rockies, "The Defense of American Rights: Principles, not Pragmatism." This talk advocates a principled foreign policy, rather that the pragmatic stew we now find ourselves simmering in.
