*******************************************************************
The Freedom to Read Foundation, in cooperation with the National
Constitution Center, proudly presents an evening with Anthony Lewis on
Jan. 14, in conjunction with the American Library Association
Midwinter
Meeting. Mr. Lewis is one of the country's preeminent First Amendment
experts and the winner of two Pulitzer Prizes. Serving as moderator
for
the discussion will be Chris Finan, president of the American
Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression, a member of the FTRF Board
of Trustees and a First Amendment expert in his own right.

Following the program, Lewis and Finan will sign copies of their most
recent books. Mr. Lewis' book, Freedom for the Thought We Hate, has
been
hailed as "a stirring account of America's evolving idea of liberty"
by
Publisher's Weekly. A columnist for the New York Times op-ed page from
1969 through 2001, Mr. Lewis has been the James Madison Visiting
Professor at Columbia University since 1983. His previous books are
Gideon's Trumpet, Portrait of a Decade and Make No Law: The Sullivan
Case and the First Amendment.

Mr. Finan's latest book, From the Palmer Raids to the PATRIOT Act: A
History of the Fight for Free Speech in America, was highly praised by
critics. Library Journal said it "[c]ould be the definitive study of a
perpetually complex, contentious issue." Both books will be sold
courtesy of Joseph Fox Bookshop.

We hope you'll be able to join us at this beautiful facility for this
terrific event.
