Journalist Tim Russert’s hard-nosed interviewing style has made “Meet the Press” a ritual gauntlet for Washington insiders and the highest-rated Sunday morning political show. Russert provides insightful coverage on American politics as an analyst for “NBC Nightly News” and “Today”; anchors “The Tim Russert Show,” a weekly interview program on CNBC; is a contributing anchor for MSNBC; and serves as senior vice president and Washington bureau chief of NBC News. Last year Russert published Big Russ and Me: Father and Son — Lessons of Life, a memoir that profiles his father, a World War II veteran.

Doors open at 6 p.m. The lecture is free and open to the public. After the lecture, all guests are invited to a reception and book signing.
