Press Release
  
Surveillance State, Warfare State will be the  timely  provocative topic
Norman Solomon, nationally recognized media  critic and  author of a dozen
books on media and public policy, will  address on Monday, October 20th in the
banquet room at Harry's Hofbrau,   390 Saratoga Avenue in San Jose. Solomon
will discuss how we got where we are in  terms of civil liberties and war,
and the challenges faced by those  concerned about current policies.
Sponsored by Santa Clara County  Democratic Club, Solomon's presentation  begins
at 7 PM and is open to  the public without charge.
  
Solomon is the executive director of the Washington  D. C.-based  Institute
for Public Accuracy and was associated for many  years with F.A.I.R.
(Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting) and the Center for  Investigative Reporting.
His  book, War Made Easy: How  Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to
Death, was called "brutally  persuasive"   and a "must read" by the Los
Angeles  Times. He has been compared with Upton Sinclair, Lincoln Steffans,  and
I.F. Stone for his willingness to take on a "good fight without fear  of
consequences." His article  in the latest issues of The  Nation,"The
Government War Against Reporter James Risen,{ exposes the  government's attempts to
hide  facts from the public, retaliating  against whistleblowers like Risen,
and  is one more example of Solomon's  efforts in behalf of transparency and
press freedom.
  
The program follows a no-host dinner at 6 PM.   For more information, call
