Tues Nov 3, 7:30 pm, at Town Hall, 1119 8th Ave at Seneca, Downstairs, enter on Seneca Street, Seattle; Town Hall presents Rich Benjamin on The Implications of White Flight. As immigrant populations - largely people of color - increase their stake in cities and suburbs, more and more white people are moving to small towns and exurban areas. Journalist Rich Benjamin, a senior fellow at the nonpartisan public-policy research and advocacy organization Demos, calls these enclaves 'Whitopias,' and from 2007 to 2009, he embarked on a 26,909-mile journey to some of the fastest-growing and whitest locales in our nation. Benjamin, author of Searching for Whitopia, explores the social and political implications of this phenomenon, concluding that Obama's historical presidency has actually raised the stakes in a battle between two versions of America: one that is broadly comfortable with diversity yet residentially segregated (ObamaNation), and one that does not mind a little ethnic food - as long as it does not overwhelm a white dominant culture (Whitopia). Presented by Town Hall's Center for Civic Life, with Demos and Elliott Bay Book Company. Advance tickets are $5 at http://www.brownpapertickets.com or 800-838-3006, or at the door beginning at 6:30 pm.

Mon Nov 9, 7:30 pm, at Town Hall Seattle, 1119 8th Avenue at Seneca Street, downstairs, enter on Seneca Street, Seattle; Town Hall presents Nan Aron: Bringing Justice to Torturers. Attorney General Eric Holder is a man on a hot seat that's getting hotter. Holder reportedly is authorizing a criminal investigation into the mistreatment of detainees by CIA interrogators, but President Obama has said he does not support a special commission. And some big names would be sure to come up in any kind of investigation: Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Alberto Gonzales, George Tenet, John Ashcroft, and Condoleezza Rice. Aron thinks Holder needs to go even further: While a full-scale investigation of the use of torture by the United States government will stir up passions on both sides, she writes, "it is our only hope for reaching some national consensus on the torture issue." Aron has been a leading voice in public-interest law for more than 30 years, and helped defeat Robert Bork's nomination to the Supreme Court in 1987. Presented by Alliance for Justice and the Town Hall Center for Civic Life.
