Maybe I'm having a senior moment, but I thought the issue had definitely
come up this January...


> I agree that having a descriptive subject line is better than excluding
issues which may be politically sensitive.  I really find all the points
of view educational, one way or another, and would hate to see ALSB
getting what strikes me as overly exclusive.  Also, I think it would be
difficult to decide what, even according to the most sensitive, is
overly political rather than legal (and that in itself would be a
political decision, surely!)

For example, how do you talk about things like the surveillance programs,
which clearly involve legal issues,  without there being some arguably
political component? And wouldn't a discussion of say, the Scopes Monkey
Trial, be bound to involve religion?

just my two cents worth.
