Senator Bill Bradley on “The New American Story”, An Evening With Bill Bradley, 6:00 p.m., Monday, April 23, 2007, Lone Star Room, Frank Erwin Center
Bill Bradley's diverse experience includes ten years as a professional basketball player for the New York Knicks and three terms as Senator from New Jersey. As Senator, he sponsored the Tax Reform Act of 1986, a landmark bill overhauling the tax code. In 2000 he challenged Al Gore in the presidential primary. He has written six books, including two New York Times bestsellers.
Bradley recently wrote The New American Story, chronicling his thoughts on the current state of American politics and the direction our country is heading. “Politics is stuck,” he writes, but “idealism isn’t dead. It can be reawakened.”
“Bravo, Bill Bradley! – for reminding us, so emphatically and with such insight, conviction, and plain old Missouri common sense, that a new American story is truly ours to choose.” —David McCullough
“Bill Bradley’s book is a powerful call to arms- a wise, passionate, insightful polemic that everyone who is serious about politics and our country will read and debate in the months and years ahead.” —Doris Kearns Goodwin
