Famous Journalist to Discuss Politics, Privacy

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh will address the timely issue of the private lives of public officials as part of Ohio University's Kennedy Lecture Series at 8 p.m. April 21 at the First United Methodist Church on College Street.

Hersh is a former chief investigative reporter for The New York Times and the author of six books, including a best-selling book about President Kennedy, "The Dark Side of Camelot," and the award-winning "The Price of Power: Kissinger in the Nixon White House."

Hersh wrote the first accounts of the My Lai massacre in South Vietnam in 1969 and told the world of the foreign policy abuses in the Nixon administration and the CIA's illegal spying on American anti-war activists in the 1970s. In the 1980s, Hersh exposed the CIA's illicit sale of U.S. weapons to Libya and the criminal activities of Panama's Gen. Manuel Noriega.
