Thank you for coming on such a chilly day, and im delighted to present perhaps 25, 30 minutes of comments and the interaction with you on the questions you have. Im also very glad to see jim phillips here. Ive worked on terrorism issues with jim for it must be a quarter century now, and there are very few people that write with the intelligence and prudence that jim phillips does. Heres a couple reasons why i wanted to write this book, with the way terrorism encounters the citizen. I remember back in 1980 reading some clippings many newspapers, it was in newspapers, it was in the chicago area. And a woman was looking out her window near her home, and she saw a van pull up.

But as she looked out her window, this lady, mrs. Walter jacobson, decides that she should be a little nervous about this. Thered been some robberies in the area

[applause] thank you very much. First of all i coauthored the command and want to acknowledge my graco author john oneill and i hope he is well. I could not have done it without johns assistance.

The subtitle is the aclus Relentless Campaign to erase faith from the Public Square. In the beginning of the buckeye trees the history of the aclu because i wanted to make it clear that this was not an accidental development.
