For those who haven't heard, Philip Zimmermann and Dr. Clinton Brooks of the National Security Agency will debate the national encryption and privacy policies Thursday Aug. 25 at the Thousand Oaks Inn, 75 West Thousand Oaks. Blvd. in Thousand Oaks, Calif. A cocktail hour will start at 5:45 p.m. The debate will start at 6:30 p.m. If there is anyone in the Moreno Valley-to-Riverside, Calif., area who is interesting in carpooling with me to Thousand Oaks., contact me by private e-mail. We'd return that night. -- Loren
