Forum on Government and Public Policy - March

This month's forum will feature author and former New York Times correspondent Hedrick Smith. Smith is a Pulitzer Prize-winning former New York Times reporter and Emmy award-winning producer/correspondent. Smith will talk about his latest book titled, Who Stole the American Dream?, where he takes penetrating look into the two "Americas" that have developed due to economic policies since the 70s.
