News Flash No. 1

Elise, Walker and Zak will be especially interested in this breaking news since they were along with the May in DC group in 2010.  Among our appointments, you will recall, was the visit with Chris Hayes, in the tiny office across from the Supreme Court.  Then a sit-in on MSNBC for Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann, Chris is now a host of his own news program, "Up with Chris Hayes," on Saturday and Sunday mornings on MSNBC.  This morning he announced that the book he was toiling on when we visited has been completed.  The Twilight of the Elites: America after Meritocracy analyzes the crisis of authority -- across all major institutions -- now raging in America.  As such, it would be a strong candidate for consideration by this capstone.  Unfortunately, however, the publication date is slated for June 2012!  :-(
