Mississippi Burning: Bringing the Killers of the Civil Rights Movement's
Most Infamous Murders to Justice On June 20, 1964 Andrew Goodman, James Chaney and Michael Schwerner met in Mississippi to help train volunteers for a statewide voter registration drive, as part of "Freedom Summer." One day later, they lost their lives at the hands of Ku Klux Klan members in rural Neshoba County. This act of violence spurned one of the largest F.B.I. manhunts in US history, lasting six weeks, and culminating with the discovery of the bodies of the victims. Although seven men were convicted on federal civil rights charges, the perpetrators never faced state murder charges. Join Pulitzer prize-winning author Dr. David Oshinsky for a discussion of his New York Times investigation that helped bring justice to the 1964 Mississippi Burning civil rights murders. A leading historian of modern American politics and culture, Dr. Oshinsky was the 2009 Jacob K. Javits Visiting Professor at New York University and holds the Jack S. Blanton Chair in History at the University of Texas. His essays and reviews appear regularly in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and other national publications.

E.L. Doctorow reading from "Homer and Langley" On Thursday, October 22nd, The New York University Creative Writing Program presented widely acclaimed writer E.L. Doctorow. Doctorow read from his new novel, "Homer and Langley". Novelist Jonathan Safran Foer provided a special introduction. Inspired by the notorious true story of the Collyer brothers-famous for their compulsive hoarding and their obsessive fear of throwing anything away-"Homer and Langley" (Random House, September, 2009) has elicited an outpouring of critical praise. "Following the panoramic scope of The March, Doctorow creates a microcosmic and mythic tale of compulsion, alienation, and dark metamorphosis", reads Booklist's starred review. "Wizardly Doctorow presents an ingenious, haunting odyssey that unfolds within a labyrinth built out of the detritus of war and excess." Publishers Weekly's starred review calls the novel "A sweeping masterpiece about the infamous New York hermits, the Collyer brothers. Occasionally, outsiders wander through the house, exposing it as a living museum of artifacts, Americana, obscurity and simmering madness. Doctorow's achievement is in not undermining the dignity of two brothers who share a lush landscape built on imagination and incapacities. It's a feat of distillation, vision and sympathy."

McQueen, Rachel Nugent, and Henry Greenberg.

Furthermore, 80% of all chronic disease deaths occur in low and middle income countries, especially among adults aged 30-69 years. Chronic diseases will likely be the predominant global source of morbidity, death and disease worldwide during the 21st century.
