My next week trip. For those who care (and who asked) and especially for those who don't care (and did not ask), I will be on AlJazeera (Arabic) the night (Eastern Time) of the US elections to provide commentary and analysis. I will be in the studio from 5:00PM (Tuesday night, Wednesday early morning Beirut time) until 2:00AM Wednesday early morning (Eastern Time). On Wednesday, I shall give a talk on the New President and the Middle East at Northeastern University in Boston at 7:00PM in Ell Hall, 2nd floor . On Thursday, I shall speak at the University of Virginia (same topic) in Physics 203, at 7 pm. Returning on Friday night.
