RICE TO SPEAK IN ST. LOUIS PARK

Former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will speak in the Twin Cities next month at a suburban Twin Cities synagogue.

Rice, the former lead diplomat in the administration of President George W. Bush, will appear at 6 p.m. Nov. 8 at Beth El Synagogue in St. Louis Park as part of the synagogue's National Speaker Series.

Q&A: An "unscripted Q&A" will follow Rice's remarks, according to the synagogue's website. Reserved and general admission tickets range from $50 to $180, with premium tickets -- which include a private reception and dinner with Rice -- running from $1,000 to $2,500 per person.
