Found out this weekend that Thomas Friedman will be the commencement address speaker at RPI for my son Evan's graduation. We had been hoping in the initial stages of planning the Regional Read to get him as a speaker as we were able to do with Ray Bradbury but Mr. Friedman was too expensive and also booked solid. I will take good notes and report here.

Also, on my Library 2.o Ning page received a webchatter from Marcus Elmore about Syracuse University Professor Mark Rupert's critique of Thomas Friedman's work on globalization. Here is the link to that site:

He also recommended the following book:
William Greider's _One World, Ready or Not_ (Simon & Shuster, 1998)
