| Former Nixon White House counsel John Dean will speak at the Humphrey Institute July 20
 The Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs and the Bookcase
of Wayzata will co-sponsor a lecture and book signing with John Dean at
7 p.m. Thursday, July 20, in Cowles Auditorium.
Dean, former White House counsel and author of the New York Times bestseller
Worse
than Watergate, takes a critical look at the Republican Party in his
new book Conservatives
without Conscience in which he argues the party's extreme members are
ruining democracy in America.
Before becoming counsel to President Richard Nixon in July of 1970 at age 31,
Dean was chief minority counsel to the Judiciary Committee of the United States
House of Representatives, the associate director of a law reform commission,
and associate deputy attorney general of the United States. He served as President
Nixon's White House lawyer for nearly three years.
Dean has long written on the subjects of law, government, and politics. He
recounted his days in the Nixon White House and Watergate in two books, Blind
Ambition (1976) and Lost Honor (1982). He devotes his time to writing and lecturing,
having retired from his career as a private investment banker.
This event is free and open to the public. No registration is required.
