Lecture: The American Political Tradition and its Influence on American Politics Today

Michael Barone, the 2010 Lopat Memorial Lecturer, is one of the leading political analysts of our time. In addition to his role as Senior Political analyst at the Washington Examiner, as Resident Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, and co-author of the widely used American Political Almanac, Barone also appears regularly on TV news programs and was, for twenty years, a columnist for U.S. News & World Report. He is also author of an acclaimed book on the influence of the "Glorious Revolution" of 1689 in England on the American Revolution a century later. His knowledge of the American political tradition is deep and his understanding of the dynamics of contemporary American politics is second to none. Sponsored by the Marianne Lannon Lopat Memorial Lecture Fund.
