      <title>America's Role in the World</title>
      <description>Professor Elshtain and Mr. Prestowitz debated the U.S. role in the world and responded to audience members' questions.
 
 Professor Elshtain talked about her book, [Just War Against Terror:  The Burden of American Power in a Violent World], published by Basic Books, saying that anti-war, anti-establishment arguments are a throwback to the Vietnam era and no longer relevant in today's post-September 11 world. Mr. Prestowitz talked about his book, [Rogue Nation:  American Unilateralism and the Failure of Good Intentions], published by Basic Books, arguing that America is abandoning its democratic ideals and making too many foreign policy decisions on the basis of our immediate military and economic security.</description>

      <title>Families and Civic Trust</title>
      <description>Professor Elshtain talked about "private lives and public ethics." She said that civil society
 inherently existed outside the large institutions of society, reacting
 with government and economic institutions. She noted that the surge
 in women in the workforce over the past 20 years had created a
 dilemma for civil society. With fewer people volunteering and with
 less time to spend with children, she said that the traditional
 pillars of the civil society were eroding, while government and
 economic institutions had maintained traditional roles. She then
 suggested some alternative approaches. After her comments she
 answered questions from the audience.</description>
