MODERATOR
James Allen Smith, President of the Center for Arts and Culture
PANELISTS:
* Adam Clayton Powell III, Vice President for Technology and Programs, The
Freedom Forum;
* Lori Perine, Senior Policy Advisor for Computing Information and
Communications, The White House Office of Science and Technology

* Jerry Berman, Executive Director, Center for Policy and Technology; and
* Patricia Auferheide, Associate Professor in the School of

In the Washington Post on February 29, 2000, Richard Morin and Claudia Deane
noted that the Center's new book "will get Washington to think as seriously
about the nation's cultural life as it does about Bosnia or tax policy."
Available from The New Press, The Politics of Culture features fresh
research and thought-provoking commentary, providing a compelling outline
for the future of American public policy as it intersects with arts and
culture.
