Of this interfaith lecture series. I am especially pleased that diane winston, who holds the in media and religion at berkeleys Annenberg School is here with us. I do not know how many of you know about religion but to hold likeight chair, that is the noble prize in journalism education, so i am really glad that she is here. I will tell you more about diane in a moment, but first as i traditionally do, we will discuss the discussion. An underlying theme we have been having, the background for all of the discussions in the amphitheater, has been, how the news business, and the Civic Society can do its part. To give us the information and the values and the perspective that we need, as a Democratic Society to find our way. I was thinking of that this morning during nancy gibbss interesting conversation with david andreli. I will have a brief quiz based on this discussion. They were talking about the difficulty of having Accurate Information come across and holding its way against fake in

I was thinking of that this morning during nancy gibbss interesting conversation with david andreli. I will have a brief quiz based on this discussion.

Reporter the search was reassuring for a lot of neighbors since it was just last month when Fairfax County police recovered human remains in the same area. Police believe it was gang related so the search today was just another example of officers taking every precaution to keep neighbors safe. I think in general its super safe around here. Theres just little pockets, little areas reporter now the principal sent an email and a news letter out to parents letting them know about the Police Activity in the area but reassuring them that it had nothing to do with the middle school.

When he was discovered by the fbi in the 19 90s he had a wealth of information to give him. In return they let him become a real u. S. Citizen and he is as patriotic as you and i.
