In this nonpartisan, non-ideological class, participants will gain a basic framework for evaluating campaign fi nance history and issues using the November 2020 elections as a touchstone. Just how much money found its way into the November 2020 elections? Where did campaign money come from and where did it go? Did cam- paign contributions make a diff erence in the results? Through fi ve one hour virtual sessions, we will investigate recent elec- tion spending, focusing on the presiden- tial campaigns and several state and local campaigns as well. We will see how 2020 election spending compared to past cam- paigns, how campaign fi nance laws have altered the importance of money in elec- tions, look at campaign fi nance in other countries and make time for plenty of class discussion as well. So bring your detective skills as we work to ferret out the facts of this topical - and expensive - subject!

LIFE AND INTELLIGENCE IN THE UNIVERSE DESCRIPTION: Until recently we only assumed the existence of other plan- etary systems. Now we know that every star has planets, many of them in the "habitable zone" where water can be liquid.
