 Conversation
with Myers, Purdum
"A Conversation with Dee Dee Myers and
Todd Purdum About the Press, Politics and the Clinton
Presidency" will be held at 4:30 p.m. on December 3
in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall.
Myers was the White House press
secretary in 1993-1994; she was the youngest person and only
woman ever to hold the job. She dealt with the signing of
the Mid-East peace accords, the passage of the President's
first budget, the decision to send U.S. forces into Haiti
and the battle to reform health care. When asked how she
handled a sometimes combative press corps, her response was,
"Never take it personally and never lose your sense of
humor." After leaving the White House, Myers appeared on the
CNBC political talk show "Equal Time." She is currently a
contributing editor to Vanity Fair and a contributor
to NBC's "Today Show."
Purdum, who is married to Myers,
graduated from Princeton in 1982. He has been the Los
Angeles bureau chief of the New York Times since
March 1997. Previously, he was a White House correspondent,
covering the second half of President Clinton's first term
and his reelection campaign. He has been an adjunct
professor at the Columbia University Graduate School of
