2021 Wis. L. Rev. Forward 101 (2021)

handle is hein.journals/wlron2021 and id is 1 raw text is: 2021 THOMAS FAIRCHILD LECTURE THE MCCARTHY ERA AND ITS ECHOES: A STORY OF FAMILY, JOURNALISM, AND THE SEARCH FOR TRUTH FEATURING DAVID MARANISS, AUTHOR OF A GOOD AMERICAN FAMILY: THE RED SCARE AND MY FATHER MODERATED BY DAN TOKAJI, DEAN OF THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN LAW SCHOOL DAN TOKAJI: My name is Dan Tokaji. I'm the Dean of the University of Wisconsin Law School, and I'm delighted to welcome you to the first Thomas Fairchild Lecture of my deanship and our first virtual Fairchild Lecture. I want to first thank the Fairchild Committee for its work in making today's event possible, as well as our excellent staff here at the University of Wisconsin Law School. We have an extraordinary speaker for this evening, David Maraniss. He was supposed to be our 2020 Fairchild speaker, but the pandemic resulted in the cancellation of that scheduled lecture, and I'm thrilled that he was willing to agree to serve as our speaker this year- and furthermore, that both the committee and he agreed that the lecture could take place virtually. This is something really important to me as Dean, that we have this opportunity to get together-even though it necessarily has to be in virtual form-as a community, including our students, staff, faculty, and alumni, as well as many other friends of the University of Wisconsin Law School. As I'm sure most of you know, David is an acclaimed Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and best-selling author who has in his various books chronicled American life through the lens of sports figures, U.S. Presidents, and everyday heroes. He's an associate editor at The Washington Post and a distinguished visiting professor at Vanderbilt. He's won two Pulitzer Prizes for journalism and was a finalist three other times. Among his best-selling books are biographies of presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, Roberto Clemente, and Vince Lombardi, as well as a trilogy about the 1960s, Rome 1960, Once a Great City, winner of the RFK Book Prize, and They Marched into Sunlight, winner of the J. Anthony Lukas Prize and Pulitzer finalist in history. I have a copy of that
