CWA Reintroduction

It's that special time of the year again: the annual Conference on World Affairs in Boulder. Each year in April the University of Colorado - Boulder hosts 110 panelists and 60,000 attendees for hundreds of panels in what The New York Times calls “a week-long extravaganza of discussion and debate”. This year is the 60th incarnation of the event and will be showcasing such luminaries as Former Ambassador to Pakistan Wendy J. Chamberlin, Time International editor Michael Elliot, M*A*S*H star and death penalty opponent Mike Farrell, skeptic James Randi, Air America host Rachel Maddow and Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra.

Pikamac coverage of last year's event includes my reading list and my scoop on the space elevator.
