I’ll be speaking at a private salon that is open to the public. The series is in honor of Cyril Patrick Shaughnessy, Jr. It is free but requires rsvp. To rsvp, go to cpslectures.com. Click on “invite me.” This will trigger an e-mail and, later, an e-vite with details about where and when. My presentation, on “Food Politics, Pet Food Politics, and Today’s Healthcare Mess,” is at 8:00 p.m.
