Punctuate4, Ford Hall Forum at Suffolk University, and the Suffolk University Theatre Department present The Battle Not Begun:
The Battle Not Begun is an imagined yet truthful portrayal of “Munich,” a world-historic matching of wits between leaders from different moral universes, one like us, one “radically other.” The play offers a fresh understanding of the historical roots of Hitler’s evil.

Week No. 7: Fixing What’s Broken: Uncivil War and American Democracy
Thursday, April 15, 2021
Live at 6:00 pm via Zoom
This event is free and open to the public
Fourteen days after a mob stormed the Capitol attempting to “stop the steal,” President Biden declared in his inaugural address that we must “end this Uncivil War” threatening our democracy. Hyperpolarization, partisan tribalism, the politics of outrage, incivility, refusal to compromise, and truth decay have led to a state of division and politically motivated violence we’ve not seen since the Civil War. GBH News political reporter Mike Deehan moderates a discussion with U.S. Congressman Jim McGovern, political scientist Lilliana Mason, and political strategist Ron Christie on what can be done to turn the temperature down, answer President Biden’s call for “unity” and focus on the urgent business of governing our nation.
This event continues a new spring series, No. 46: Examining the First 100 Days of the Biden Administration, that focuses on the most important developments in the early days of the Biden Administration. Guest speakers over the semester examine the ability of the 46th President and his team to affect change in some of the most vital policy areas that impact all of us.
Speakers and their bios:
Ron Christie, Adjunct Professor, New York University
Dr. Lilliana Mason Associate Professor of Government and Politics, University of Maryland, College Park
U.S. Congressman Jim McGovern (D-MA), 2nd District
Mike Deehan, (Moderator) State House Political Reporter, GBH-FM

Stanley Sheldon is an American bass guitar player best known for his work with Peter Frampton. He is notable as an early adopter of the fretless bass for rock music.
Sheldon was born in 1950 in Ottawa, Kansas where he joined his first band, The Lost Souls. His first recorded work with Frampton was the wildly successful live album Frampton Comes Alive! He played on subsequent Frampton albums, I’m in You (1977) and Where I Should Be (1979). In 2007, he contributed as co-writer and bass player on Frampton’s 2007 Grammy-winning instrumental album Fingerprints and toured as a member of Frampton’s band until 2017.
Sheldon also recorded with his late friend Tommy Bolin on Teaser and performs on various Bolin archival releases. Other recorded works include Lou Gramm Ready or Not, and Ronin (1980), a co-assembled group of session musicians featuring Sheldon, Waddy Wachtel, Rick Marotta, and Dan Dugmore.[5] Sheldon toured with Warren Zevon on Zevon’s 1978 Excitable Boy tour and did recording work for the Christian music songwriter David Ruis. He co-produced and played on the Mayhew Family album Songs from the Third Floor (2004) and EP Watch Out (2009). In 2008, he toured as the bassist for the Delbert McClinton band. Sheldon has also performed on Hollywood movie soundtracks, most notably the Cheech and Chong comedy Up in Smoke.
Sheldon devoted most of the ’90s to Latin American Studies at the University of Kansas, earning a master’s degree. During this period, he traveled widely throughout Latin America with his studies focused on the slave society of the nineteenth century in Latin American countries and how its influence on past music continues to affect the transformation and hybridization of world music today. During this time, Sheldon played with various versions of a band that played “son” and “salsa,” often to sizable dance crowds.
Sheldon has a passion for teaching and, when not touring, he has offered bass lessons for students of all ages at Blues to Bach Music Center in Shawnee, Kansas. In 2019, he reunited with the original members of Ronin for a tour of Japan.
