Foreign Policy Advisor, Author, and Journalist Fareed Zakaria
to Speak at Latin School
Fareed Zakaria, editor of Newsweek International and political analyst for ABC’s “This Week,” will speak at The Latin School of Chicago (59 W. North Blvd.) on April 29, 2003 at 1:20 p.m. Zakaria will address “Terrorism in an Age of Globalization.”

Described by Esquire Magazine as “the most influential foreign policy advisor of his generation,” Zakaria is the author of the recently published The Future of Freedom: Illiberal Democracy at Home and Abroad (April 2003) and From Wealth to Power, an examination of America’s role on the world stage. He is a frequent contributor to The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and The New Yorker, and in October 2001 he wrote Newsweek’s most talked about post-September 11 cover story “Why They Hate Us.”

Zakaria’s visit to the school is sponsored by the Latin’s “Initiative for Ethics” (L.I.F.E.) program, a unique four-year student-organized initiative to explore ethics issues. During its inaugural school year (2002-2003), L.I.F.E. has focused on ethics in journalism. Guest speakers have included reporters, editors, and producers from local print and broadcast media.

To attend this event, set up an interview with Mr. Zakaria, or for more information about L.I.F.E. please contact Evelyne Girardet at (312) 573-4646, or at egirardet@latinschool.org. All interviews with Mr. Zakaria must be organized in advance.
