In September, the physics department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison unveiled its new freshman seminar, "Seeking Truth: Living with Doubt," a science-and-religion course three years in the making. Now, the department is sponsoring (in conjunction with the religious studies department of Edgewood College and two area libraries) a series of discussions on the intersection of reason and faith. The first talk, "Religious Fundamentalism in America," featuring Pulitzer Prize-winning author Chris Hedges and UW-Madison physics professor Marshall Onellion—who teaches "Seeking Truth"—will be held tonight from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Madison Public Library. —Stephen Mapes
