Please blast this announcement to your friends! Now's the time. New fissures in media empires bring hope that independent voices will be heard.  Let's do it! Charlie will lead a panel discussion, using GATES OF EDEN as a centerpiece at a veterans' writers conference at UMass Boston on Thursday, June 28 from 2 - 4 p.m...  Special Panel: The Antiwar Movement: Then and Now Set against the turmoil of the Vietnam War, Charles Degelman's novel GATES OF EDEN is a 1960s tale of rebellion, resistance and love. As actor Peter Coyote notes, the book "is no sentimental apologia for the Sixties. It is the real deal." The author will lead a discussion attempting to understand the key differences and similarities between the antiwar movement of the 1960s and those millions of young people today who feel the impact of foreign wars, a stolen economy, and the spirit of the Occupy movement.
