The Fall 2012 Friday Forum Lecture Series will feature expert views on
vital policy questions and shed light on local, state, and national
races as they unfold. Focusing on larger trends beyond the candidates'
qualifications, the series will peer deeply into current debates

differences on governance, but also a worsening enmity.
