The Candidate: What it Takes to Win -- and Hold -- The White House

In collaboration with the New-York Historical Society and Oxford University Press, the Bryant Park Reading Room presents a series of lectures on popular topics to stimulate your mind, including Civil War history, politics, biography and the economy. Drawing on a lifetime of presidential campaign experience, Samuel L. Popkin examines the surprising mistakes and the predictable miscues to reveal what goes on inside a campaign and what makes one candidate succeed while another fails.

This program will be held at the Reading Room in Bryant Park. The Reading Room is located on the 42nd Street side of the park between 5th and 6th Avenues. Look for the burgundy and white umbrellas. For more information, please visit www.bryantpark.org.
