[Podcast] With the Bark Off: A Conversation About Grover Cleveland with Troy Senik

TheLBJLibrary 2022-11-24 | E77
Grover Cleveland hardly ranks among the most celebrated or accomplished of American presidents. Like Chester A. Arthur, Benjamin Harrison, and other presidents of the late 19th century, Cleveland held office at a time when Congress dominated national political life and few Americans expected much of their chief executive. And yet closer inspection reveals a most remarkable president -- and not only because he is the only one to hold two non-consecutive terms.

Troy Senik is a former speechwriter for President George W. Bush and a co-founder of the digital media company Kite & Key. Troy is also author of A Man of Iron: The Turbulent Life and Improbably Presidency of Grover Cleveland (September 2022).

[LBJ Future Forum] Consensus and Conflict: The Supreme Court of the United States

TheLBJLibrary 2022-11-17 | With recent decisions on abortion, gun control, religious freedom and the environment, the U.S. Supreme Court once again reasserted its central role in America.

The nine justices are unelected, serve for life, and, until 1981, were all men. But their actions have helped define the American way of life for more than two centuries.

Join us for a talk about significant recent decisions, a historical view of the court and term limits, the power of the court, and what we anticipate this term.

Speakers:

Gloria Browne-Marshall, Professor of Constitutional Law, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, CUNY
Leah Litman, Professor of Law, University of Michigan Law School
Steve Vladeck, Professor of Law, University of Texas Law School
Moderator: Josh Gerstein, Senior Legal Affairs Reporter, POLITICO

[Podcast] With the Bark Off: A Conversation with Paul Gregory About Lee Harvey Oswald

TheLBJLibrary 2022-10-27 | E75
Paul Gregory is an expert on Russia and is currently a research fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution. A pioneer in the study of Soviet and Russian economics, his textbook on the Russian economy was used to teach more than two generations of students. But Gregory’s latest book is on a subject that he has been reluctant to address for nearly six decades: his relationship with Lee Harvey Oswald and his young wife Marina. Gregory was one of the few people who actually knew them. His inside account of the Oswalds’s marriage offers a disturbing portrait of Lee Harvey Oswald, whom Gregory believes acted alone in the assassination of President Kennedy.

We talked to Gregory about the Lee Harvey Oswald he came to know, someone who possessed the motive, cunning, and killer instinct of a murderer who was desperately vying for a place in history.

Women and the Future of Democracy

TheLBJLibrary 2022-10-03 | Sept, 29th, 2022: Women and the Future of Democracy explored the crucial role that women play in democracy at home and abroad, and how we can ensure their full participation in civic and political life. In a time of unprecedented challenges to women’s rights and equality, it has never been more urgent that their voices be heard.

The program was presented by the LBJ Foundation, All In Together and The 19th News.

The evening included:

Women and the State of American Democracy: a broad-ranging discussion about the state of women in American democracy. How does a democracy change when women are more fully engaged? What are the issues that women most care about, and where is the U.S. relative to nations abroad in the full participation of women in electoral politics?

The Women of Afghanistan —and the World: a conversation exploring how a once burgeoning democracy has changed since the Taliban regained control of the government, relegating women to a subjugated state. How has Afghanistan society changed? And what nations across the world stand as beacons for what is possible for women in democracy?
