Carl Bernstein and P.J. O’Rourke at Drury University

Friday, September 9, 2016  
Carl Bernstein and P.J. O’Rourke will appear together at 7 p.m., Monday, Sept. 12 at Clara Thompson Hall on the Drury University campus. Their program, “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the White House,” is the first event of the L.E. Meador Center for Politics & Citizenship’s 2016-17 theme “45” – an examination of the 2016 presidential election and the administration of the 45th President of the United States.

O’Rourke, a conservative, is a research fellow at the libertarian-leaning Cato Institute, and is a widely recognized political commentator. Bernstein, a liberal, pursued and broke the Watergate story along with fellow reporter Bob Woodward, and co-wrote the best-selling book “All the President’s Men.” The evening will include remarks and observations from the two writers on relevant political and economic developments, followed by a moderated discussion and audience Q&A. The event is free and open to the public, but it is recommended that you arrive early as seating is limited.
