TUESDAY:
The experts at Baseball Prospectus are back at Politics and Prose to talk about America's favorite pastime. Specifically, Clay Davenport and Jay Jaffe will be discussing It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over, a collection of stories on baseball's most exciting pennant races. 7 p.m.

WEDNESDAY:
A recent New Yorker article commented on the controversy behind Stephen M. Walt and John J. Mearsheimer's argument in their latest book The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy. The authors contend that the Israel lobby has a negative influence on U.S. foreign policy, by often persuading Congress and the White House to make diplomatic decisions that aren't necessarily in the national interest. However, criticism of Israel often is quickly denounced as anti-Semitism, as a recent Washington Post piece by Johns Hopkins professor Eliot Cohen has shown. The two authors will be at Politics and Prose for an evening that is sure to include some heated political discussion. 7 p.m.

THURSDAY:
Sociologist Peggy Levitt, also an associate professor and the chair of the department of sociology at Wellesley College, will be at Olsson's in Penn Quarter to read from her book, God Needs No Passport: Immigrants and the Changing American Religious Landscape.

Newsday reporter Bart Jones will be at Politics and Prose to talk about Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, the namesake of Jones' latest book Hugo! That seems like a more appropriate title for a book on the esteemed award or a musical based on France's famous novelist and playwright, doesn't it? 7 p.m.

SATURDAY:
NPR regular Alan Cheuse will be at Politics and Prose to talk about his latest, The Fires, a collection of two novellas. 7 p.m.
