True North Radio This Week

Here's the lineup for True North for the week of February 28, 2005:

Monday: KEVIN BLIER, Director of Vermont Renewal. We'll be discussing the retention hearings for Vermont’s Supreme Court justices.

Tuesday: TAMAR JACOBY, Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute. We’ll be discussing her article in the February 28th Weekly Standard, “Law and Borders: The Conservative Case for Bush's Immigration Plan”.

Wednesday: TOM WOODS, author of the New York Times Best-Seller, The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History. Dr. Thomas E. Woods, Jr. holds a Ph.D. in history from Columbia University. Tom is also the author of The Church Confronts Modernity (Columbia University Press) and the forthcoming The Church and the Market: A Catholic Defense of the Free Economy.

Thursday: JOHN McCLAUGHRY, President of the Ethan Allen Institute, Vermont's independent, nonpartisan, free-market-oriented public policy think. Have a look at EAI’s website, where you can read some of John’s great commentaries.

Just before we moved back to Vermont, I hauled out my Heritage Foundation Guide to Public Policy Experts, a hefty annual Who’s Who of the nation’s finest conservative and libertarian thinkers. I figured this would be an efficient way to find friends in our new home. There were pages & pages of folks listed for other states. And then I turned to the listings for Vermont. There was only one name there: John McClaughry’s. I looked what the Ethan Allen Institute was doing, and quickly realized that, if you’ve got one man like John McClaughry in your state, you’re lucky, indeed. So even before we moved here, I joined the Ethan Allen Institute, read John’s great monthly newsletter voraciously, and a month after we landed attended my first EAI event.

And it was easy to join, as John keeps membership affordable. Basic membership is only $30—and that’s a full membership, for a full year, including 12 copies of the Newsletter. Since EAI is a 501 [c] 3, membership is tax-deductible. Don’t miss out on Vermont’s greatest intellectual bargain! Send your check to Ethan Allen Institute, 4836 Kirby Mountain Road, Concord VT 05824.

Friday: BILL SAYRE, formerly with the U.S. Federal Reserve, now a Member of the Board of Directors of Associated Industries of Vermont; of the Vermont Chamber of Commerce; and of the Vermont Forest Products Association. A student of Milton Friedman's (among other Nobel Laureates), Bill received his MBA in economics/finance from the University of Chicago.
