"A View of the Political Landscape from Capitol Hill"
Date: Saturday, October 4
Time: 12:00 p.m.
Description: Over the last year, we’ve asked Noah Silverman ’92 to give us his reading of the political landscape in the capital from his vantage point as a key staffer in the Senate. Noah has shown a remarkable political sense, amplified by a vast fund of information that he has managed to incorporate. Beyond that, he has shown an uncommon knack for drawing just about everyone into the discussion. The magic has worked so well that we’ve asked him to do it yet again. If we can lure Brett Shogren ’96 from the Hill, we can offer a team; but if Tom DeLay can’t spare him, Noah can handle the assignment quite well on his own.
