Dear Classmates,
Here is a recent message from Chris Grant:

Subject: RE: story about Joan
You might enjoy reading the report from my most recent public service
venture. I co-chaired Gov. Corzine's New Jersey State Committee on Native
American Community Affairs. The press release and website are found at
http://www.state.nj.us/governor/news
The Committee was borne out of a tragic fatal shooting of a North Jersey
Ramapough tribal member . We are hopeful , and have good first response from
all, that the report's recommendations concerning passage of State
recognition language, more efforts to eliminate persistent civil rights
abuse and educational curriculum ignorance; and a rededication to
cleanup of a messy Superfund toxic waste site in New Jersey's
Highlands where the Ramapough have lived for more than 350 years, will be
acted on.

I have two pieces of news to distribute that I hope you can do soon:
First, I’m now a proud member of the national board of the ACLU, and I
hope this work will be good and will make some difference on issues we
care about. If people want to get in touch with me about that, I’d
be happy to hear from them. More important, the Center for Ethics
is presenting a symposium entitled Ethics and Character in the
Presidency, a serious daytime and evening event on January 30th,
free and open to the public. I think that a lot of our class might
be interested in coming to some or all of it. Interestingly,
Swarthmore ’68 class member, Bruce Fein, is one of the speakers, and for
those who know this world of public intellectuals/historians/political
scientists, I think we have come up with an impressive line-up. So
if you can send out this flyer with a quick note from me, I’d really
appreciate it.

Dear Jeff, A few weeks ago Adrienne Asch visited Kalamazoo to
deliver the Sigma Xi lecture. She spoke to a packed hall about
bioethics. She met with a number of smaller groups at the
university, and she advised physicians and residents at local
hospitals. In the evening, we attended a symphony concert featuring
modern Japanese compositions. All in all, a wonderful time. Best,
Lew
