SUMMARY:Frank Lavin: Inside the Reagan White House
DESCRIPTION:Former Reagan aide Frank Lavin comes to Commonwealth Club World Affairs to share behind-the-scenes stories of the Reagan White House.\n\n\nThe Reagan presidency marked a turning point in American political history\, bringing in changes in voting allegiances\, long-lasting economic and foreign policy shifts\, and a new direction in the country’s political culture that lasted for decades. Now former Reagan aide Frank Lavin comes to Commonwealth Club World Affairs to share behind-the-scenes stories of the Reagan White House. \nDrawing on his new book Inside the Reagan White House: A Front-Row Seat to Presidential Leadership with Lessons for Today\, Lavin includes a mix of personal stories\, insights on the president\, discussions of policy and historical events\, and crazy\, colorful anecdotes in his insider’s look at the Reagan presidency. The Reagan assassination attempt\, the Gorbachev Reykjavik summit\, Ollie North and the Contras\, the 1988 Bush-Dukakis contest and other critical moments of the Reagan years are all covered. \nLavin also offers original insights into Reagan cabinet members and other top players\, along with personal anecdotes\, off-hand comments\, and unique family details. Not to mention the movie stars\, Soviet spies\, neo-Nazis\, plain old Nazis\, intimate affairs\, fights on planes\, and con men who were chased by Interpol. \nBut Lavin says that at the heart of his story are the thousands of dedicated Americans who helped Ronald Reagan as he worked to push back against the Soviet Union\, promote democracy\, improve trade\, lower taxes\, and reduce the size and scope of government—back when those were the main focuses of conservative Republicans. \nJoin us to discuss whether the Reagan years provide us with any lessons for our current political situation. \nNOTES \nSPEAKERS \nFrank Lavin\, Visiting Fellow\, Hoover Institution; Former Staffer\, National Security Council and White House; Former U.S. Ambassador to Singapore; banker in Hong Kong and Singapore\, Bank of America and Citibank; Author\, Inside the Reagan White House: A Front-Row Seat to Presidential Leadership with Lessons for Today \nIn Conversation with George Hammond\, Author\, Conversations With Socrates \n5 p.m. doors open & check-in5:30–6:30 p.m. program6:30 p.m. book signing(all times Pacific Time) \nPhotos courtesy the speaker.
