Thomas Ricks
Journalist Thomas Ricks is often called the "dean" of America's military correspondents. He's been on two Pulitzer Prize-winning teams for national reporting—with The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal—and writes a daily blog for Foreign Policy magazine. He's also a senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security, a bipartisan think tank. A best-selling author, Ricks' books include Fiasco, on the war in Iraq, and its sequel The Gamble. The Massachusetts native grew up in New York and Afghanistan and is a Yale grad.
Julia Stiles
Julia Stiles began her acting career at age 11, by writing a letter to an experimental theater director to get an audition. At age 15, she made her film debut and has a wide range of credits that include commercial and critical successes. The New York native graduated from the Professional Children's School and temporarily interrupted her career after enrolling at Columbia University. Passionate about social justice, Stiles serves on the board of Amend.org. She stars in the new film remake, The Omen.
