Friday, September 8, 2006
11:00 a.m. to noon
Location: Auditorium / Hesburgh Center for International Studies
In an enlightening and entertaining presentation, Mark Shields (ND ’59) shares first-hand accounts and impressions of the current state of Washington politics and presents them against the backdrop of political history. With a career spanning eight presidents, Mark Shields is one of the most respected analysts in Washington, a pundit whose experience and encyclopedic knowledge of politics combine for one of the most trusted bylines in journalism. A syndicated columnist for more than 25 years, he has been deemed “A Walking Almanac of American Politics” by The Washington Post. A former campaign manager, he reveals the little-known details of American politics, delivers a frontline perspective and clarifies for audiences the confusing political mayhem that often arises out of election-year politics.
