Stevie and Susan Carol’s fourth sports mystery plunges them into a moral dilemma at the World Series. The two befriend Norbert Doyle and his teenage children, then get to do THE interview before Norbert unexpectedly opens in game two.  But what if the truth the young reporters uncover differs from the previously-known story?  Are they duty-bound to offer full disclosure?  Ages 8-12.    
Start: 7:00 pm
Goldhagen here extends his investigation of crimes against humanity from the Holocaust to the more recent genocides in Yugoslavia, Guatemala, Cambodia, Burundi, and Sudan. He is forthright in his condemnation of the responsible nations of the world. “We can persist in our malign neglect … failing to understand the real nature of genocide; failing to recognize we can far more effectively protect millions of people…and failing to choose to act on this knowledge.” He calls for measures that warn political leaders contemplating eliminationist policies that they will incur substantial political and economic costs.
