    "Why I'm No Longer a Brain-Dead Liberal"

    An election-season essay from one of America's greatest playwrights.

    By David Mamet

Maybe, like us, you’ve always wanted to drive coast-to-coast across the USA, but you lack the time -- and the gas money. If so, steer your RV just to the Central West End tonight at 7 p.m. That’s when Robert Sullivan (author of the best-selling Rats) reads from his latest book, Cross Country, at Left Bank Books (399 North Euclid Avenue; 314-367-6731 or www.left-bank.com). Sullivan’s traversed the country more than twenty times, and he’s a fascinating explicator of all road-life subjects, including the highway rest stop and its origins. And, lucky for you, he’s springing for the gas on this trip.
