[CASL-L] political books

[Sue Lantelme]

Current events classes - I have suggested they get to know RSS feeds (or use an app like flipboard to identify exactly what you want to be 'fed') as a function of watching news develop on  particular topic. I'm not sure you can get anymore current than ResearchITCT. There you'd also find Bios on presidential candidates.

"What an astonishing thing a book is. It's a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you're inside the mind of another person..." Carl Sagan

I have a spin off question:
Does anyone have great resource suggestions for current event classes?
