That was 50 years ago, probably before many readers of this site were born. Fast-forward to now to see that the distinguished author and Professor of International Relations at George Washington University is moderating a forum of Civil Dialogues in Washington DC.
The first one tackles critical choices - a relevant topic today.
Civil Dialogues Series Starts March 2018
To provide an opportunity to engage in civil discourse about social and political issues, and will demonstrate-with the goal-that people of diverse viewpoints can have fruitful dialogues with one another.

The first forum is not too academic, scholarly or wonk. Etzioni is almost prophetic when the chosen subjects of this public discourse have hit the news now - Facebook/Cambridge Analytics, encryption technology and email privacy, GPS/Geo-tech tracking, data merchants, surveillance without borders and others. The hour-and-a-half go by quickly when your attention span is extended.
One item grabbed my attention when brought up by the moderator: Clear Choice.

The conversations seek to provide an opportunity for members of the Washington, D.C. community to engage in civil discourse about social and political issues, and will demonstrate-with the goal-that people of diverse viewpoints can have fruitful dialogues with one another. Each Arena Forum will have a group of prominent Dialogue Starters and will be moderated by Amitai Etzioni, a University Professor at The George Washington University and author.
