Chafee and Widmer at the Athenaeum tomorrow

The Providence Athenaeum is a local jewel, and it's got a great event on tap for tomorrow:

Tues, 10/14, 7pm: Election Day Approaches: What’s Next? In an increasingly global world fraught with conflicts past, present, and promised, what is the future for US foreign policy? As the 2008 presidential campaign (aka The Hundred Years’ War) closes, what is America’s place in the world? What should it be? Come converse with two contrarian witnesses to history, former Senator Lincoln Chafee (now distinguished visiting fellow at Brown’s Watson Institute), a liberal conservative, and Ted Widmer, former foreign policy speechwriter for Bill Clinton, now Director of the John Carter Brown Library, a conservative liberal. Copies of Senator Chafee’s Against the Tide: How a Compliant Congress Empowered a Reckless President and Ted Widmer’s Ark of the Liberties: America and the World will be available for sale and signing, thanks to Borders! Free and open to the public. (Sponsor: Yankee Travel, yankeetravel.com)
