#BringAustinHome Full-page ad in the Washington Post on July 6. Thank you Washington Post Press Freedom Partnership for not forgetting journalist Austin Tice, abducted in Syria in 2012. One cannot abandon hope that he is alive.

Thanks to National Press Club Emily Wilkins for the opportunity to discuss the U.S. Presidency, philanthropy, the economy, and Baltimore Orioles. Thanks also to CSPAN for airing the interview live. c-span.org/program/nation…
