Not only occupying a seat were on this day in 1860, new yorkers listened to the then littlek nown statesman from illinois deliver a speech that not only altered the course of his life, but what impact the future of our nation. Ofce that day, scores individuals have filled your seats, eager to explore issues that define who we are as a country, and tonight you have a seat to another perspective on americas next chapter, inspired by the man who would ultimately reunite a country after the most divided period of its history, and preserve the Great American experiment. Hisham lincoln later viewed Cooper Union Speech as the turning point for his eventual election to the white house.

What people now refer to as the liberal consensus, the 1940s and 1950s, and trying to work through what actually is happening in terms of the kind of main thoroughfare of american politics, the possibilities for Political Action and the way that people are thinking about politics in america in the 40s and 50s. You also had three readings, all of which in different ways deal with the kind of idea of political ideology and all of which share a set of assumptions about the way that ideas matter to politics.

Jim and Tammy Fay Baker and muhammed ali. Thank you for attending our session on this beautiful friday afternoon. Ill have to compete with the outdoors and hopefully well convince you youve made the right choice hanging out with us to talk about media and biography in political history. Between the four of us, we have written at least 17 biographies and it might be more than that. I was losing count because Randy Roberts has written so many. More than half of our total number, i think. So we have a lot of experience in this genre that weve been drawn to and have an affinity for it in some way or another. So before we begin let me introduce the panelists and as i introduce each of you if you could spend a minute or two telling the audience what was it that drew you to biography and what is it you love about the genre . And first we have larry masslon from the tish school of arts and as particularly interested in the history of broadway and comedy and written biographies. Richard rogers
