Politics Takes Center Stage During Leventhal Lecture
Political commentators Peter Beinart and Jonah Goldberg staged a debate of national significance, Oct. 13, during the Wittenberg Series Fred R. Leventhal Family Endowed Lecture. Titled “Decision 2004: The New Republic vs. The National Review,”the event offered a unique opportunity for people to prepare for the final debate between then presidential candidates George W. Bush and John Kerry. Beinart, managing editor of The New Republic, and Goldberg, editor of the Web magazine National Review Online, presented opposing views on the candidates and on the major issues in the 2004 presidential race. J. Rob Baker, professor of political science, served as moderator. During his eight-year tenure with The New Republic, including as its current editor, Beinart has written about the changing politics of America’s cities, the politics of Africa, globalization and the Christian right. Goldberg is the editor of the award-winning Web magazine National Review Online and a contributing editor to the flagship conservative journal, National Review. He has earned wide praise as his generation’s successor to P.J. O’Rourke for his irreverent Web column called “Goldberg File.”
