"Chris led Krugman all around the issue of lies, government and the Big Press, the subject he's been covering so well in his series of interviews with bloggers and Big Press people. Krugman gets it, but hasn't yet put it together. He tells a story. If the Republicans said the earth is flat, Fox News would report (he says) The Earth is Flat, and people who say it isn't are unpatriotic. Then he says the other press would report Shape of the Planet: Two Sides to the Debate, and would quote Republicans saying it's flat, and Democrats saying it's round. The Harvard audience laughs."

I've started to hear attendee buzz about a few things, and a couple of them I can answer quickly right here.

First of all, dress code.  Please don't worry about it!  Dress comfortably, as it is a long day.  We will be having a reception at an off-campus venue, but since we are the only event there that evening, dressing up is not required.

Also, parking has come up a couple of times.  If you must drive, and do not care to feed a meter every couple of hours, please contact me and I will try to arrange for parking.  Also, if you need a disabled-accessible spot, please email me immediately so I can help out there.

Please feel free to ask questions anytime.   I'll help however I can.
