    So far, we've talked with former Assistant Secretary of State Susan Rice. She proposed military strikes and a blockade against Sudan. And former Ambassador Morton Abramowitz, who recommended more vigorous diplomacy.

    Margaret Warner has tonight's conversation about a different idea.

  • MARGARET WARNER:

    That idea comes from Eric Reeves, a professor of literature at Smith College. He has spent the past seven years working on the Darfur issue, including serving as a consultant to humanitarian organizations working there. He also helped start a college campus-based movement to encourage states, universities and mutual funds to unload investments in companies that do business with Sudan.

    And welcome, Professor Reeves. Thanks for being with us.

  • ERIC REEVES, Smith College:

    Very good to be with you.
