Garry Wills on "Bomb Power"
| When: | Tuesday, February 9, 2010 07:30 PM - 09:00 PM |
| Where: | Town Hall, Seattle |
| What: | One thing that's not mentioned in the Constitution is anything granting the President the power to destroy human civilization. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and historian Garry Wills argues that the atomic bomb redefined the presidency, fundamentally altering the office in making it the last word in global security. It's an important criticism, as the power to create the bomb via the super-secret Manhattan Project has lead by extension to the arrogation of others. Tickets: $5. |
