Can someone see if they can find out any college newspaper stories describing visits / lectures by Klein and a YouTube to get a sense of his lecture style? Reply here if you are doing this so we don’t duplicate effort.
Thanks!

Folks, three important announcements.
This is an open thread for questions, comments, and suggestions on the 2012-2013 PPLS lecture series. We have identified these general themes for next year, but are open to other suggestions, if you read an interesting book, hear an interesting person at a lecture or on the radio or television, or have any other thoughts.
This email came to Joan Meyer. The reference below is to work that has come out of Yale (Don Green, now at Columbia, and Alan Gerber). It is accurate that this has penetrated political campaigning on both sides of the aisle. The email is a bit over the top, and we could secure the actual academics and not just the journalist! However, I wonder if Issenberg may be on a book tour and thus be a cheap “get” for us.
General Wesley Clark was commander of NATO during Kosovo and ran briefly for President. I believe he is currently an informal foreign policy advisor to the Obama administration. He served as a White House fellow under Ford, and also served under both GOP and Democratic administrations.
I think he might be a good person to pursue for the Munk/Darling IR lecture series. Thoughts?
I thought it might be interesting to see if Robert Caro, author of a four volume (and not yet complete!) biography of Lyndon Johnson, and a Pulitzer prize winning biography of Robert Moses, The Power Broker, would come to Reed.
Any thoughts on Caro?
