DESCRIPTION:  Event: In Hot Property, Pat Choate (former vice-presidential running mate 
 of Ross Perot) takes a look at how intellectual property theft has had 
 detrimental effects on U.S. job security and the economy. Tracing the 
 history of U.S. intellectual property, Choate argues that the copying, 
 counterfeiting and under-pricing of American products and media by other 
 countries continue to hurt American businesses. Current efforts to defend 
 them are meager and ineffective.   When: Tuesday, May 10  What: Meet the 
 Author/Lecture. “Hot Property: The Stealing of Ideas in an Age of 
 Globalization.” Co-sponsored by Stacey’s Independent Bookstore  Who:
