Tens of millions of foreign citizens live in the United States, and dozens of international institutions — such as the International Court of Justice, the World Trade Organization and border commissions — cast a legal net across the globe. In this program, John Yoo, Professor of Law at the University of California-Berkeley's Boalt Hall Law School and the 2001-03 Assistant Attorney General in the U.S. Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel, discusses the need to re-conceptualize the U.S. Constitution so it can better address the challenges arising in an increasingly globalized society. He is joined in conversation by coauthor Julian Ku and moderator Melanie Kirkpatrick

Program is free. First come, first served. The Reading Room is located on the 42nd Street side of the park between 5th and 6th Avenues. Look for the burgundy and white umbrellas.
Rain Venue: The General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen, 20 West 44th Street (between 5th & 6th Avenues).

In December 1998, Dan Mitchell, the founder of the Ithaca Beer Company, created the first local brewery in Ithaca that exemplifies “The Spirit of the Finger Lakes.” The tastings will feature Nut Brown, with a rich mahogany hue and subtle hints of both chocolate and coffee; CascaZilla (Cas-kuh-zil-uh), a red ale with caramel malt and Cascade Hops; and Apricot Wheat Ale, an easy-drinking wheat beer light in color and body with a hint of apricot.
