Massachusetts Institute of Technology Professor Steven Pinker came to Madison Tuesday to promote his new book, \The Blank Slate,"" which will be released in the fall.

He said his administration would use 'every means of diplomacy, every tool of intelligence, every instrument of law enforcement, every financial influence and every necessary weapon of war' to root out the 'global terror network.' Many believe that this multi-pronged attack is the answer to the horrific attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C., just two weeks ago.
