Course Description:

Each week I will pick three articles or editorials from the New York Sunday Times that will be about things that will be affecting our lives but are not in the headlines.  They will not be about politics, wars, or elections.  They could be about new medicines, history, lifestyles, or what is happening in parts of the world we don’t talk about often. I will also take suggestions from class members.  I will send out the articles by Sunday afternoon.  I will give an opening statement for each article and open the discussion with one question.  We will discuss each article for about a half an hour. Things will flow from there. It worked very well this fall.  Preparation time would be up to one hour each week.

Please note that this course begins on March 5 and ends on April 2, which is during the make-up week.

Books and Other Resources:

A subscription to the New York Times would be helpful but not mandatory.

Course Leader Bio(s)

Don Bermont

For the last few years, I have taught courses at LLAIC. I have taught about many different subjects, including about the future, artificial intelligence, and some books I liked.  This course will be about many different subjects.  I have always found that it is the class members that make the class so interesting.  Their views come from a wide range of knowledge and experiences.  Before I joined LLAIC I was a Clinical Psychologist in Lowell.  I now spend a lot of time with my family and grandchildren. I worry about the nation and the world and try to find ways to make things better. I admit to an unhealthy obsession with the Boston Celtics.
