Bernard-Henri Lévy cancels today's speaking engagement

The talk scheduled for 4:30 p.m. today, Dec. 1, with Who Killed Daniel Pearl? author Bernard-Henri Lévy has been postponed indefinitely.

Lévy contacted Stanford representatives Sunday to tell them that he had been asked to participate as one of the "European ambassadors" during today's signing of an unofficial Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement in Geneva, Switzerland.
