MSE Symposium: A View From the Right
Ann Coulter |
Ann Coulter — conservative political pundit,
scribe of a syndicated newspaper column, frequent visitor
to TV talk shows and best-selling author — arrives on
the Homewood campus Thursday night to address the question
"The Sum of Capitalism and Democracy: What Constitutes an
American?"
Coulter's visit is part of the 2003 Milton S.
Eisenhower Symposium, The Great American Experiment: A
Juxtaposition of Capitalism and Democracy, a student-run
series examining how the two pillars of American society
— capitalism and democracy — interact, and how
their interactions affect Americans.
Coulter is one of the most visible faces of the
American right, with a no-holds-barred, often eccentric
style of debate that has earned her a strong conservative
following. She writes her column for Universal Press
Syndicate and has authored three best-sellers: High Crimes
and Misdemeanors: The Case Against Bill Clinton, Slander:
Liberal Lies About the American Right and, most recently,
Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on
Terrorism.
Her talk takes place at 8 p.m. on Sept. 25 in Shriver
Hall Auditorium. The 45-minute lecture will be followed by
a question-and-answer period and a reception/book signing
in the Clipper Room.
