Gingrich, Cuomo, and Russert Event

The Cooper Union Dialogue Series: A Lincoln-Inspired Event
With Newt Gingrich, Mario M. Cuomo, Tim Russert, and Harold Holzer
Discussion
Wednesday, February 28, 6:30 pm
The Great Hall
7 East 7th Street at Third Avenue
Free and open to the public, limited seating

Newt Gingrich, who served as speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1995 to 1999 and represented the State of Georgia for 20 years, and Mario M. Cuomo, who served as governor of the State of New York from 1983 to 1995, will meet to discuss issues facing presidential candidates in the 2008 election. Journalist and host of "Meet the Press" Tim Russert will moderate the discussion. Sharing the belief that national and international issues facing presidential candidates deserve full discussion and analysis in the style of Lincoln's time, Gingrich and Cuomo will issue a challenge to all declared presidential candidates to come to the Great Hall and address the American public in the same manner Lincoln did 147 years ago when he delivered his "Right Makes Might" address at The Cooper Union.
