Invited Talk by Pulitzer Prize-winning Journalist David Maraniss

When: Mon, Sept 22, 2008, 4:30pm-6:30pm

Where: Flavin Auditorium, Isenberg 137

Maraniss is the author of “First in His Class: A Biography of Bill Clinton” and “Clemente: The Passion and Grace of Baseball’s Last Hero”. His most recent book came out this summer: “Rome 1960: The Olympics That Changed the World”. He began his career in Madison, Wisconsin as a student journalist and then worked at The Times of Trenton in New Jersey (with Journalism professors Madeleine Blais and John Katzenbach) before joining the Post in 1977. A not frequent visitor to the Valley, Maraniss’s brother David is a long-time professor in the Spanish Department at Amherst College. He is currently covering the Obama campaign where he says he was posted despite being a rabid fan of the Green Bay Packers, arch-rivals of Obama’s hometown Chicago Bears.
