tremendous benefits and harsh costs of free trade and outsourcing? What are

This program is presented in collaboration with the Old South Meeting House
as part of the Partners in Public Dialogue Series.

In its 99th fall series of events, the Ford Hall Forum presents seven open
public discussions on the issues concerning our community, nation, and world
today.  With the 2008 election approaching, the Forum takes a hard look at
the state of our government and the policy issues that affect us all.
Across a wide range of perspectives ­- from the left to the right, from the
harsh to the humorous -- the Forum hands over the microphone to
thought-provoking speakers on the front lines.  To facilitate frank and open
discussion, equal time is provided for speakers¹ remarks and audience
members¹ questions.  At the Ford Hall Forum, no speaker goes unquestioned
and no view goes unchallenged.

The Ford Hall Forum promotes freedom of speech and fosters an informed and
effective citizenry through the public presentation of lectures, debates,

lecture series, it has a storied past as a venue for some of the most
intriguing figures in our nation¹s modern history, including Maya Angelou,
