CESR sends you this invitation in dark days. In the midst of war, we
struggle to find signs for hope. Yet, as Arundhati Roy reminds us in
her new book "War Talk": "Another world is not only possible, she's
on her way. Maybe many of us won't be here to greet her, but on a
quiet day, if I listen very carefully, I can hear her breathing."

We hope you will join us for what will surely be a memorable evening.
