Tues. May 15

There's Jim Carroll, the poet-rocker, and James Carroll, the former priest, Globe op-ed columnist and author. We like both Carrolls quite a lot, for different reasons. It's the latter Carroll who's in town Tuesday May 15 to speak at All Saints Church in Brookline about his latest book, "House of War." Carroll has been consistently correct about all things Bush, and in his book he writes "We have not begun to reckon with the nonsense of American policies toward nuclear weapons today - the fact that we're resuming their production now, that we continue to threathen their use even now." To Carroll - and we agree - it's 1958 redux when Dwight D. Eisenhower warned us of the "military-industrial complex" taking over our wallets and minds. Somehow, we made it through that era; let's hope we're so fortunate this time. The talk, at 7 p.m., is sponsored by Brookline PeaceWorks. It's free but they'll take donations.
