Bill Moyers to visit Seattle, which I found out while I visited Vancouver BC

Bill Moyers will appear at The Paramount Theatre on Friday, April 22, 2005, at 8:00 p.m. Tickets prices range from $20-$75.

"Fabled reporter, gifted storyteller and respected commentator on contemporary American history and culture, Bill Moyers brilliantly provides his perspective on the myriad of cultural and historical forces that shape our national consciousness. Through words and images, he explores the human side of government, the media and social institutions and 'how the news of the day fits into the perspective of our times.'"

"I can tell you that, as a journalist I know the news is never the end of the story. The news can be the truth that sets us free -- free to fight for the future we want. And the will to fight is the antidote to despair, the cure for cynicism, and the answer to those faces looking back at me from those photographs on my desk.

"What we need is what the ancient Israelites called 'hocma' -- the science of the heart, the capacity to see, to feel and then to act as if the future depended on you. Believe me, it does."
