GROVE CITY, Pa. – Twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, two experts on the Cold War, former Wall Street Journal reporter Tom O’Boyle and historian Dr. Paul Kengor, will examine the significance of the historic day at the semester’s final “Freedom Readers” dessert program Nov. 9. Sponsored by the Center for Vision & Values at Grove City College, the program is at 7:30 p.m. in Mary Anderson Pew South Dining Hall; it is free and open to the public, however, registration is required.
O’Boyle has been writing about business and management issues since 1979. He covered U.S., European and Asian industrial corporations for 11 years at the Wall Street Journal, and spent time reporting from Germany in the years leading up to the fall of the Berlin Wall. He is the current circulation marketing manager of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, where he previously served as the publication’s business editor and assistant managing editor. He is the author of “At Any Cost: Jack Welch, General Electric and the Pursuit of Profit.”
Kengor, noted commentator and historian, is professor of political science at Grove City College and executive director of The Center for Vision & Values. He is a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace at Stanford University. His books include “God and Hillary Clinton,” internationally released “The Crusader: Ronald Reagan & the Fall of Communism,” “The Judge: William P. Clark, Ronald Reagan’s Top Hand,” bestselling “God and Ronald Reagan” and “God and George W. Bush.” He received his doctorate from the University of Pittsburgh’s Graduate School of Public and International Affairs and his master’s degree from American University’s School of International Service.
The Center established the Freedom Readers program in 2008 to educate America’s youth about basic free market economic principles. The Center hosts three “Freedom Readers” evening dessert programs each semester with a writer discussing his or her free market economics editorial and presentations from recent graduates working in the policy arena. In addition to educating students to free market principles and increasing interest in the Center’s programming, “Freedom Readers” aims to expand knowledge of freedom-oriented policy career and study opportunities.
The program is free and open to the public, although seating is limited. Register in advance with Brenda Vinton at (724) 450-1541 or at blvinton@gcc.edu.
