An Invitation from Steve Clemons

DEAR COLLEAGUES & FRIENDS:

This Wednesday, I will be chairing a session along with Michael Tomasky sorting through some of the emerging views about America’s place in the world.  The line up follows below — but as I know that many of you live outside of Washington, DC or may not be able to attend (though you are more than welcome to RSVP), this program will stream live on a number of websites and will be posted as a video clip later at the New America Foundation website and at The Atlantic.

I also wanted to share with you some other background in addition to the sites where this will stream.  Streaming live at:
