A former official in the Nixon, Ford, Clinton and Reagan Administrations, David Gergen describes himself as an independent. Last Tuesday, February 12th at the Athenaeum, Mr. Gergen gave his view of both the Republican and Democratic candidates for President, and the direction that the country is going over the next four years.

Mr. Gergen began with a talk about the presidential race and the fresh results from Maryland, Virginia, and D.C.

Welcome back to spring semester. The Forum is changing from a traditional newspaper to something closer to a news-y website and we’re pretty excited about it.
