And, in the spirit of renewed support for restoring the centrality of both the visual and performing arts on a national level, we initiated a lively discussion to consider how it can be reinvigorated and enlarged for individual/private and governmental/public diplomacy initiatives, including how the Act can be expanded to better support the performing arts. |

Constitution DayIn honor of Constitution Day, the Center hosted a discussion between NYU President John Sexton and NYU Law School’s Michael Waldman on whether the Democrats, after winning back control of the House of Representatives and Senate in 2006, have begun to shift power back to the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue. Have they restored robust legislative initiative and Congressional oversight?
