"Musician. Humanitarian. National Threat."

OBIE SIGHTING: John Scheinfeld, OC '75, will be back in town on Thursday to be a special guest at the screening of "The U.S. vs. John Lennon."
What makes John such a special guest? He is the co-producer, co-writer, and co-director (with David Leaf) of this film which explores how John Lennon moved from being music sensation to antiwar activist, using extensive archival footage. Be sure to come by Hallock Auditorium (in the AJLC) Thursday night at 7:30 PM to check out this 2006 documentary with its maker.
This screening and meeting with the filmmaker is sponsored by the Cinema Studies Dept, Office of the President, and Alumni Office.
