Judith Shapiro writes on her blog, Remembering Matters:

I subscribe to a newsletter that announces events at the 92nd Street Y. I don’t live in New York and I don’t hop on the Chinatown bus and pop on up to the city to catch an interesting lecture. I just fantasize about doing it or get vicarious pleasure from reading about what others are doing at the Y or, more importantly, I learn neat stuff. That’s how, this morning, I ending up reading the following quote:

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.” Can you guess who said it? - Answer in fine print, upside-down at the bottom of the page. No, actually, it’s right here - Dwight D. Eisenhower said it. Amazing.

She also highlights a quote from Jeffrey Sachs, economist and director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University who is appearing at the Y with Charlie Rose on Mar 25, that we blogged earlier.

If you want to stay current with what’s going on at the Y (and the world), there is no better way than receiving our eNews. There is no better time, too: you can get a 15% discount on events by signing up.
