A Writer's Coach
I have an interest in writing, and, a newfound one, in writing fiction. I've had a chance sometimes, to travel. Sometimes to out of the way spots, where the foreign correspondent's club was the expat's speakeasy, in the spirit of Graham Greene. It is a place to make sense of the chaos, to sort fact from fiction. So how apropos that Portland's Press Club would invite tonight, Jack Hart, author of A Writer's Coach, to speak. Maybe he has insights into balancing the fact and fiction of writing.

"Everything You Know About Money is Wrong"
Economics is unfortunately our largest abstraction. Simple models of the infinite small behaviors of 6 billion people constitute a huge fragile edifice. Frank Ackerman, Director of Research and Policy at Tuft's Global Development and Environment Institute, tunnels termite-like into the foundations of economics. Flaws he finds there, resolved, may hold the key to a sustainable economics.
