[PAA-Discuss] Fwd: Seymour Hersh at Rice 11/15

[Bill Crosier]

Note that Seymour Hersh's talk at Rice U is free, but you may have to pay quite a bit for parking if you park on campus ($3/hr the last time I did that) - a good reason to carpool or ride a bike.  You may be able to park for free by the stadium and ride the shuttle bus, although I don't know how late the busses run.

>Pulitzer-Prize winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh has proven himself one of  the most influential reporters of our time. His groundbreaking reports include many  landmark events in American journalism: coverage of the Abu Ghraib prison abuse in Iraq,  the My Lai massacre in Vietnam, the CIA's bombing of Cambodia, Henry Kissinger's wiretapping of his own staff, and the CIA's efforts against Chile's assassinated president  Salvador Allende.
>
> Hersh began his newspaper career as a police reporter for the city news bureau of Chicago.  He served in the United States Army and worked for a suburban newspaper and then for wire  services United Press International and the Associated Press until late 1967, when he joined the  presidential campaign of Eugene McCarthy as speech writer and press secretary. Hersh joined the  New York Times in 1972, working in Washington and New York. He left the paper in 1979 and has  been a freelance writer since, with two six-month returns on special assignment to the Times'  Washington bureau. Most recently, Hersh's articles in The New Yorker have probed the underside  of the Iraq war and the intelligence and military quagmire caused by the conflict.
>
> In addition to the Pulitzer Prize, his outstanding work as a journalist has earned him four  George Polk Awards, the Lennon-Ono Peace Prize, and more than a dozen other prizes for  investigative reporting and publishing.
