Preparing for the third annual Anita Houston Lecture, scheduled for 4 p.m. Sunday, October 25, are co-sponsors Cynde Lahey, assistant library director, and Al Knaus, co-chairman of the UN Committee of New Canaan. Neil MacFarquhar, UN bureau chief of The New York Times, will be this year’s guest speaker. Having grown up in Libya and served as AP correspondent in several Middle Eastern countries, MacFarquhar “has developed a thorough understanding of the cultures and problems of those nations and is expected to draw a large audience,” according to Knaus.
