The Tocqueville lecture series continues this afternoon with James W. Ceaser who presents \"Tocqueville's World and Ours.\" Ceaser is the Harry F. Byrd Professor of Politics at the University of Virginia where he has taught since 1976. His presentation takes place 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 20 in Watkins Room of Trone Student Center. A reception follows his talk."}
