DESCRIPTION:Robert Ellsberg will share his personal story “for the first time” 
 about growing up within the U.S. peace movement on Thursday June 9 at 7:30 
 p.m. at Holy Cross Parish Hall in Santa Cruz. As a 13-year-old, Robert  
 helped his father Daniel Ellsberg photocopy thousand of pages of classified 
 Pentagon Papers that disclosed the U.S. government conscious pursuit of a 
 losing War on Vietnam. A 2009 Academy Awards nominated film documentary 
 about these disclosures features Daniel Ellsberg as “The Most Dangerous 
 Man in America” and includes an interview with son Robert 
 Ellsberg.\n\nEllsberg will speak on “One Candle Lights Another: The 
 Pentagon Papers, Gandhi, Dorothy Day, and My Life with the Saints.”

 homeless.  \n\nHe became managing editor of The Catholic Worker newspaper 
 and came to know and, work closely for five years with Dorothy Day 
 (1897-1980), co-founder of the Catholic Worker movement. Day's cause for 
 canonization or sainthood, as one of the most inspiring figures of recent 
 history, remains open in the Catholic Church.\n\nAs official Editor of 
 Day’s Personal Papers he has published The Duty of Delight: The Diaries 
 of Dorothy Day (2008) and All the Way to Heaven: Selected Letters of 
 Dorothy Day.  Ellsberg is Publisher of Orbis Books.\n\nHe has also edited 
 writings by Gandhi, Flannery O’Connor, Thich Nhat Hanh, Charles de 
 Foucauld, Fritz Eichenberg, and Carlo Carretto. \n\nThe event is hosted by
