3. The CPU and the College Republicans Present:

David Horowitz, Author, Editor, and President of the Center for the
Study of Popular Culture

DATE: Friday, April 29th
TIME: 12:00 pm
LOCATION: Room 555, Alfred Lerner Hall

David Horowitz is the President of the Center for the Study of
Popular Culture, and a best-selling author and editor.
Horowitz earned a Bachelor's degree from Columbia University in 1959
and a Master's degree from the University of California at Berkeley
in 1961. He quickly became a leader of the New Left. During the
Sixties, he edited Ramparts magazine, an influential left-wing
journal. In the 1970s, dissatisfied with the consequences of
radical policies in America and abroad, Horowitz withdrew from
politics.

In 1978 Horowitz was honored with a Guggenheim Fellowship, and in
1990 he received the Teach Freedom Award from former President
Ronald Reagan.

During the Eighties, Horowitz's second thoughts about politics
crystallized. In their 1989 book Destructive Generation: Second
Thoughts About the Sixties, Horowitz and Peter Collier chronicled
the legacy of the New Left and its effects on American politics and
culture.

Horowitz's political journey is recounted in his autobiography,
Radical Son, which was published by the Free Press in February
1997. Horowitz went on to publish The Politics of Bad Faith in
1998; Hating Whitey and Other Progressive Causes in 1999, and, in
2000, The Art of Political War, which Bush chief campaign
strategist Karl Rove called a "must read."

In 1988, Horowitz created the Center for the Study of Popular
Culture. The Center boasts 20,000-plus members and publishes four
magazines, including Frontpagemag.com and Heterodoxy, a monthly
focusing on "political correctness and other follies."

David Horowitz has spoken at over 100 colleges and universities. He
has appeared on Nightline, Crossfire, Today, Good Morning America,
C-SPAN, CNBC, FoxNews Channel and CBS This Morning, and gives
hundreds of interviews yearly on radio and television.
