Forum with Former U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan
On October 18, 2012, Foreign Policy at Brookings hosted former United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan in a discussion of his life and work on behalf of world stability and human rights. The event marked the recent release of his memoir, Interventions: A Life in War and Peace (Penguin Press, 2012).

In his memoir, Annan reflects on his successes and the challenges he faced during his 40 years at the United Nations, and makes a strong case for the U.N.'s continued relevance in the decades ahead.
Brookings President Strobe Talbott introduced Mr. Annan and moderated a discussion focusing on Mr. Annan's work at the United Nations and his ongoing efforts to establish peace and protect human life and dignity. After the program, Mr. Annan took audience questions.

Civil Conversations: Restoring Civility to Debt Discussion
On October 9, 2012, as part of her Civil Conversations Project, Krista Tippett of American Public Media's radio show On Being moderated a discussion at Brookings with Senior Fellow Alice Rivlin, former director of the Office of Management and Budget and Congressional Budget Office and Pete Domenici, former Republican senator from New Mexico and a senior fellow at the Bipartisan Policy Center. Both renowned for their work on budget issues, they have created a bipartisan alliance, and discussed what they have learned, what is happening below the radar of partisan rancor, and what is at stake as the nation grapples with the debt crisis and political stalemate.

U.S. Public Opinion Toward Arabs and Islam
On October 8, the Saban Center for Middle East Policy and the Project on U.S. Relations with the Islamic World at Brookings hosted a discussion and unveiled a new University of Maryland public opinion poll examining attitudes just days after violence erupted in Libya and elsewhere in the Middle East. The poll, conducted by Nonresident Senior Fellow Shibley Telhami, gauges American public attitudes toward Arabs and Muslims and toward U.S. foreign policy in the region. Panelists included Brookings Senior Fellow William A. Galston, the Ezra K. Zilkha chair in Governance Studies; Hisham Melhem, Washington bureau chief of Al Arabiya News; and Telhami, principal investigator of the poll and the Anwar Sadat chair for Peace and Development at the University of Maryland. Senior Fellow Tamara Cofman Wittes, director of the Saban Center for Middle East Policy, moderated the discussion.
