"Nuclear Threats, Nuclear Abolition" is the topic of a forum hosted by the Stanford Linear Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC) on Monday, April 2.
The forum features author and former New York Times bureau chief Philip Taubman, who will describe the current state of nuclear threats, including Pakistan, North Korea and Iran and the possibility of a nuclear 9/11.
He will also discuss the joint bipartisan effort of Bay Area residents George Shultz, Sid Drell and Bill Perry, who worked with Sam Nunn and Henry Kissinger to reduce nuclear threats and ultimately abolish nuclear weapons. Mr. Taubman recently published "The Partnership: Five Cold Warriors and Their Quest to Ban the Bomb," which examines their careers and how the five men have influenced the national nuclear agenda.
The free event starts at 4:15 p.m. in the Panofsky Auditorium at SLAC, located at 2575 Sand Hill Road in Menlo Park. Are you receiving Express, our free daily e-mail edition? See a sample and sign-up for Express.

Will your presentation include any discussion on the following question?
"Why should Americans listen to fools that were wrong about finding Bin Ladin in 2001 and were also wrong about finding WMD in Iraq in 2002, why should Americans trust those chicken-hawks about any future military ventures when they have been proven to be catastrophically wrong, time after time?"
Guys who said things in 2002 like: "There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — [pauses] — shame on you. Fool me — [pauses] — You can't get fooled again." Web Link
Smartest thing that fella ever said, but then again, that's a low bar...........
