Before Jimmy Carter speaks at Brandeis next Tuesday, the 23rd, he will be over at the Harvard Coop signing books from 1:30 to 3:30. The Brandeis speaking engagement has engendered a lot of controversy -- the first time he was invited to the school, he was expected to debate Alan Dershowitz and he declined.
As might be expected for a book signing with a former president whose views on Israel are controversial, there are a lot of rules -- and they are subject to change, based on the needs of the Secret Service or Carter himself.
For example:
No cameras, no cellphones, purses, backpacks, diaper bags. (There will be a bag check area.)
Books must be purchased before getting in line and the line will begin forming at 11 a.m. If you have already bought his new book, "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid,'' you must bring the receipt.
Carter will only sign his new book and there will be no personalized autographs.

Are you going? I would consider it, however, I am still in San Francisco at a conference, but I would love to meet him.

Well I just got back from the signing. Due to the short notice of the event (one day) and press coverage (none) the line was relatively short. Bought two copies and he signed them. I thanked for all he has done, and that was it. Nice crowd, very supportive, with no counter protest.
BTW anyone near Cambridge reading this before 3:30 Jan 23, get down there and meet President Carter, the line is now very short, unlike every other signing he has done. He will sign up to five copies and the book is discounted 30%
He looked good, BTW.
I'm sorry I missed it. It is too bad there was a short line. I wonder why there was no real advertising of the event.

No counter protest is nice? We agree on something. I think most counter protests are counter productive. Most counter protesters are martyrs looking fop a cause.
Carter, is a good man who has lost his way. He has become a caricature of himself. Sad sight to see. That is why I guess most folks like me didn't go to his book signing..too painful.
