to Deliver Annual Ruth Winter Lecture Lake Forest, Ill.—Noted author and political analyst Jonathan Schell will deliver the annual Ruth Winter Lecture at Lake Forest College on Monday, March 22, at 8 p.m. in the Lily Reid Holt Memorial Chapel, located on the College’s Middle Campus. The title of the presentation is "The United States in the Second Nuclear Age: Empire or Republic?" The presentation is free and open to the public. For more information, please call 847-735-6010. Schell is the peace and disarmament correspondent for The Nation and the Harold Willens Peace Fellow at the Nation Institute. Formerly a writer and editor with The New Yorker, Schell's writings have also appeared in Harper's, The Atlantic Monthly, Foreign Affairs and The Washington Post. He has taught at Wesleyan, Princeton, Yale, and Emory, among other institutions. Schell is the author of several books including, The Village of Ben Suc, The Time of Illusion, and The Fate of the Earth (nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the National Critics Award). Schell’s most recent book, The Unconquerable World: Power, Nonviolence, and the Will of the People, explores the limits of violence and charts an unexpectedly hopeful course toward a nonviolent future. The Ruth Winter Community Lecture is made possible through the generosity of the late Ruth Winter, who worked at the College from 1953 to 1973 as the director of cultural affairs. She brought many internationally renowned lecturers to the College during her twenty years of service. The lecture is also supported by the Christopher C. Mojekwu Fund for Intercultural Understanding. Lake Forest College is a private, liberal arts institution located 30 miles north of downtown Chicago. The College has 1,300 students representing 46 states and 50 other countries.
