Robert McChesney's talk Monday night (10/30) will be in the main lounge of 
Allen Hall, 1005 Gregory Drive, Urbana. Music by Paul Kotheimer starts at 
7, and McChesney's talk begins at 7:30.

BTW, here are praises for McChesney's most recent work, _It's the Media, 
Stupid!_ (2000, with John Nichols) from some pretty good people, culled 
from his website (www.robertmcchesney.com):
