The Houston Democratic Forum meeting that I attended last night turned out to be a standing room only affair, as almost 70 people packed into the reserved room at Ziggy's Grill on Alabama to hear Dr. Richard Murray and Keir Murray talk about the new Texas Research Foundation they're setting up. Marguerite Reed has a detailed overview of the talk, so I'll point you to her instead of duplicating her effort. I will have more to say about this in the near future, but for now read her writeup and check out the TRF site.
