Love checking out this site each week! However, this week and last, for whatever reason, links do not open. Need to cut and paste them in browser. Previously, the links always opened Control-Right Click.
The link for Benjamin Ferencz’s Zoom does not work. Could I please be sent a working link for tickets? I would like to see him speak that day.
Thank you.
