Yet another quicky: David Brooks had been "in conversation" at Rhodes College during its 150th anniversary programming. David Brooks is one of my favorite columnists and is someone whose "politics" i can really sign up to, although he'd probably agree that it's not simply his politics but the basics of his world view whom I really can identify with. And I'm not sure he'd like it if I said this (he says politicians have drifted from policy to entertainment, but he is a very engaging speaker). Look him up on YouTube under David Brooks, a long-time columnist for the NY Times.
