Major Garrett at the Nixon Library
CBS Chief White House correspondent Major Garrett will discuss his book Mr. Trump’s Wild Ride: The Thrills, Chills, Screams, and Occasional Blackouts of an Extraordinary Presidency
In Mr. Trump’s Wild Ride, Major Garrett provides what journalists are often said to do, but usually don’t: a true first draft of history. His goal was to sift through the mountains of shrieking headlines to focus on the most significant moments of Trump’s young presidency, and the ones that Garrett believes will have a lasting impact. The result is an authoritative, mature, and consistently entertaining account of the era.
Major Garrett has been reporting on the White House for nearly two decades, covering four different presidencies for three national news outlets.
There is no cost to attend this event.

Nicholas Sarantakes on Nixon and Sports
Author of Fan in Chief: Richard Nixon and American Sports, 1969-1974
NOVEMBER 4 AT 7PM
LECTURE & BOOK SIGNING
Nicholas Evan Sartantakes, Professor of History at the Naval War College, will discuss President Nixon’s intertwined, and relatively unknown, relationship with the spectacle of American sports.
While in office, President Nixon did a lot more than just throw out the first baseball of the season; he was a genuine baseball and football fan, and his interest and engagement in American sports had an impact on the culture of the nation.
In this in-depth study, Sarantakes argues that sports are central to understanding Richard Nixon. When watching sports or attending athletic events, Nixon was his most unguarded and articulate. Consequently, Nixon was able to use sports in a way that communicated a recreational pastime, allowing him to effectively express his leadership, values, and policies to the American people.
