MOORE THAN JUST A LITTLE UPSET...

Author/filmmaker Michael Moore speaks to about 30 journalists at a press conference last week at Mondavi Center during the 31st stop on his 39-city, 23-day tour of the country to promote his new book. Moore offered a preview of issues he would address in his two sold-out Mondavi Center lectures held later in the day, entitled "Bowling for Columbine: America's Culture of Fear and Its Consequences." He touched on the California recall, his support of lowering the country's voting age to 16, and, of course, the presidency. "This looks like a book tour, but really it's just a way to get my publisher to pay for a yearlong campaign to remove George W. Bush from our White House," he said. Moore's appearance marked the first in this year's Western Health Advantage Distinguished Speakers series at Âé¶¹appÈë¿Ú. Other speakers include Garrison Keillor, Nov. 10; Karen Hughes, Feb. 9; Salman Rushdie, March 15; and Sister Helen Prejean, April 23.
