In Short
CORRECTION TO THIS ARTICLE: A front page "In Short" item in Tuesday's Tech about a talk to be given by Noam Chomsky gave the wrong date for the event. The talk will happen on Tuesday, September 29, not Tuesday, September 22.
Noam Chomsky will be speaking about grassroots democracy tonight from 6 p.m.–8 p.m. in 26-100. The event is open to the public and will be moderated by Professor Frank Solomon.
