Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy

celebrating 20 years

1986–2006 20th Anniversary 1986–2006 1

From the Director

The Shorenstein Center happily celebrates twenty years of teaching, research and engage- ment with the broad topic of press, politics and public policy. This publication describes the history of the Shorenstein Center and its programs, both past and present. Our mission is to explore and illuminate the intersection of press, politics and public policy both in theory and in practice. Our political climate has changed dramatically in the wake of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001; issues of civil liberty and national security have dominated our political discourse ever since. Globalization, rising tensions between corporate objectives and journalistic ones, and myriad developments in technology are among an ever-evolving set of challenges confronting the news media. These matters present us with a daunting but perhaps never more important task. We thank all of the students, scholars, reporters, donors, conference participants, brown bag lunch speakers, visiting fellows and faculty, and our wonderful staff, all of whom have made this a vibrant, thoughtful and collegial community. We are grateful to everyone who has participated in the Center over the past twenty years and look forward to expanding our programs in new directions as we take on the challenges of the future.

The History of the Shorenstein Center

The Beginning

The Shorenstein Center was founded in 1986, but its roots can be traced back to the early days of the John F. Kennedy School of Government. The Kennedy School has been singular in declaring its mission to be teaching and research plus engagement with the real world, something that sets it apart. Early on, leaders at the School recognized that engagement with the press should be part of the School’s focus. Initially, that role was taken by the Institute of Politics, founded in 1966 with a mandate to inspire young people to careers in public service. Jonathan Moore was a member of the first group of IOP Fellows and was chosen to be the Institute’s Director in 1974. Under Moore, the IOP broadened its engagement with the press, conducting research, sponsoring conferences and inviting journalists to Harvard as fellows. But Moore and others recognized that the topic was too Graham Allison, Dean of the Kennedy School, and Derek Bok, important to be adequately addressed as a subsidiary part of the the President of Harvard, embraced the concept with great Institute, and in 1980 he drafted a proposal for a Harvard center enthusiasm. As Bok wrote: on the press, politics and public policy. His proposal read, One of my major concerns for almost a decade in part: has been to develop an outstanding graduate The influence of the communications media in school of government at Harvard that would be American political life is growing in force and fully comparable with the leading schools of law, complexity, yet it is poorly understood. . . .

On March 10, 1985, Joan Shorenstein Barone died of cancer at the age of 38. At the time of her death, she was a producer of the “CBS Evening News with Dan Rather.”Joan had been inspired to go into political journalism by reporter David Broder, who was an IOP Fellow in 1969 when Joan was a graduate student at Harvard. After Joan’s death, her parents, Walter H. and Phyllis J. Shorenstein, sought to establish a memo- rial for their daughter. In conversations with Senator Edward M. Kennedy, Graham Allison, Derek Bok and Jonathan Moore, the Shorenstein family was persuaded that a Harvard research center dedicated to the study of press and politics would be an excellent tribute to Joan. 4 Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy

The Announcement

On December 10, 1985, Harvard University announced an endowment gift of $5 million from Walter and Phyllis Shorenstein for a new center to be named the Joan Shorenstein Barone Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy. (In subsequent years, Mr. Shorenstein contributed an additional $10 million to the endowment as well as numerous other gifts in support of the Washington office and Center programs. The name was changed to the Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy in 1995.)

On September 27, 1986, the Shorenstein Center officially opened for business. Benjamin C. Bradlee delivered an address on national security and the press, and remarks were made by Senator Edward M. Kennedy, David Broder, Derek Bok, Walter Shorenstein and Jonathan Moore. The Shorenstein Center became the first named research center at the Kennedy School. 20th Anniversary 1986–2006 5

Building the Center

The distinguished political scientist Nelson W. Polsby was appointed Visiting Professor in the Frank Stanton Chair of the First Amendment and arrived in the fall of 1986. He also served as Acting Director of the Shorenstein Center. Polsby recruited the first fellows for the Center and hired a staff. The Center became home to graduate students from Harvard’s government department and the Kennedy School and hosted brown bag lunches and faculty seminars. Guest speakers during the first year included Howell Raines, Leonard Downie, Geoffrey Smith, Tom Patterson, Alan Ehrenhalt, Dan Hallin, W. Russell Neuman, Stephen Hess and others. Polsby and Kennedy School professor Gary Orren co-taught a seminar on the press and politics and co-edited Media and Momentum: The New Hampshire Primary and Nomination Politics. The Center co-sponsored a conference on Voting, Public Opinion and the 1988 Elections with the National Election Studies.

On June 1, 1987, veteran journalist Marvin Kalb became Director of the Shorenstein Center and Edward R. Murrow Professor of Press and Public Policy. The Murrow Chair was later endowed through generous gifts from G. Barry Bingham, Jr., Mary Bingham, and many other individuals, corporations and foundations. One of Kalb’s first moves as director was to propose a series of television interviews with all of the presidential candidates. In the fall of 1987, the twelve-part series “Candidates ’88” aired on PBS. It featured Kalb’s interviews with Republican and Democratic presidential candidates, broadcast live from the Forum at the Kennedy School. A book about the series was published, featuring essays on all the candidates by Shorenstein Fellow Hendrik Hertzberg. In 1989, the Theodore H. White Lecture was inaugurated with a panel discussion in the Forum featuring R. W. Apple, Jr., Benjamin C. Bradlee and Fairbank. Blair Clark, a Shorenstein Center advisory board member and former vice-president of CBS News, worked closely with Marvin Kalb to raise the funds from over one hundred friends and admirers of the legendary reporter. The Theodore H. White Lecture has become one of the hallmarks of the Shorenstein Center. The Shorenstein Center’s first Visiting Lombard Professor was Tim Cook. A Williams College professor of political science, Cook taught a course on the press and government in the spring of 1990. The Laurence M.

Joan Shorenstein Barone

Joan Shorenstein Barone is remembered by all who worked with her as one of the most dedicated professionals ever to enter the field of political journalism. In 1986, the Joan Shorenstein Center was established by a generous gift from Walter H. and Phyllis J. Shorenstein as a tribute to their daughter and to the standards she set for accurate, thorough and dignified reporting of current events.

Joan was born in San Francisco in 1947. She attended Mills College, where she was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, and did graduate work at Harvard Divinity School. While in graduate school, a fascination with politics led her to enroll in a study group at Harvard’s Institute of Politics, which was taught by then–IOP Fellow David Broder. Broder was so impressed with Joan’s enthusiasm and ability that he recommended her for a job as a political researcher at the Washington Post the following year, 1970.

The dedication that was to distinguish Joan’s remarkable career was evident even at the beginning. Although she arrived at the Post with no journalism experience, she brought with her the qualities of a superb researcher—intellectual vigor, an impeccable memory and dogged persistence. In a column written soon after her death, Joan’s Post colleague Lou Cannon recalled her “abundant energy and her willingness to tackle any project, no matter how many others she had under way.” She was a particularly gifted researcher, who tended to go “beyond the specific question we put to her and answer the question we should have asked.”

In 1973, when Watergate was the top news story in the country, Joan left the Post to join CBS News. Word soon spread around the newsroom that the young newcomer knew better than anyone else the names, faces, dates and events associated with the scandal. Joan’s friend described her as a “walking encyclopedia” when it came to Watergate. Others fondly recall the collection of index cards on which, in her famously miniscule handwriting, Joan would write down every detail she could dig up on the story. According to Dotty Lynch, a former CBS colleague, those cards for a time served as the “institutional memory of CBS News, especially on Watergate.” A year after starting at CBS Joan was made an associate producer of “Face the Nation”(she was to be appointed producer in 1979); the following year, 1975, she married political correspondent Michael Barone.

Through her professionalism and the sheer force of her personality, Joan commanded the respect of Washington’s big players, and although she wore her influence lightly, her views were never in question. She was renowned, wrote Broder, “for being a stickler on the details” and for “never letting a politician or a reporter slide off the hard points of evidence or argument.”

After the 1984 presidential campaign, during which she was a CBS News producer specializing in politics, she joined the Washington staff of “The CBS Evening News with Dan Rather” as a producer. Joan held this position until the cancer she had fought for ten years finally claimed her life in 1985. She was 38 years old.

Joan Shorenstein left behind a legacy of excellence. On October 1, 1986, a few days after the Shorenstein Center’s inauguration, Joan’s longtime friend David Broder wrote a piece in which he considered how the Center could best honor the memory of this exceptional journalist. “The new Harvard center can do a service,”he wrote, “if it just finds a way to embody and commu- nicate the standards to which Joan Barone devoted her professional life.” 8 Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy

Theodore H. White Lecture on Press and Politics

The Theodore H.White Lecture on Press and Politics commemorates the life of the reporter and historian who set the standard for contemporary political journalism and campaign coverage. White’s landmark book, The Making of the President, 1960, subsequent volumes on later campaigns and America in Search of Itself all remain vital historical documents on campaigns and the press. Before his death in 1986, Theodore White served on the Kennedy School’s Visiting Committee, where he was one of the early architects of what was to become the Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy. Since 1989, the annual White Lecture has been delivered by a noted politician, journalist, or author.

Thank You

The Shorenstein Center has received financial contributions from hundreds of individuals, foundations and corporations. We are enormously grateful for the gifts of so many people and institutions, many of whom are listed on the following pages.

In particular, the Center is indebted to Walter Shorenstein for two decades of generous financial support and friendship.

Walter Shorenstein is one of the nation’s most successful businessmen. He began his real estate career in 1946 after being discharged from the Army as a Major in San Francisco. He started in property management with the brokerage firm Milton Meyer & Company where he was made a partner in 1951. In 1953 he was named a “Leader of Tomorrow” by Time magazine. By 1960 Mr. Shorenstein had become President and sole owner of Milton Meyer & Company, and the firm was subsequently renamed the Shorenstein Company. Mr. Shorenstein dramatically expanded the company’s real estate development and management activities. Under his leadership the Shorenstein Company became the largest privately held owner and operator of Class A office buildings nationwide, with over seven million square feet in downtown San Francisco, as well as significant holdings in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Charlotte, Kansas City and Boston.

Mr. Shorenstein has been active in politics and philanthropy throughout his career. He is a longtime supporter of the Democratic Party and received the Democratic National Committee’s first ever Lifetime Achievement Award in 1997. In 1995 he chaired the United Nations’ Fiftieth Anniversary Charter Commemorative Celebration in San Francisco. The Shorenstein family is one of the nation’s leading supporters of the United Way.

Walter and his late wife, Phyllis, had three children—Joan, Carole and Douglas. Doug Shorenstein joined the family business in 1983 and became Chairman and CEO of the Shorenstein Company in 1995. Carole Shorenstein Hays is a Tony Award–winning Broadway producer and President of SHN, a theatrical entertainment company in San Francisco. In 1986 Walter and Phyllis Shorenstein endowed the Shorenstein Center in memory of Joan, an influential political journalist and producer at CBS News.

Mr. Shorenstein was a founding supporter of the Kennedy School’s Corporate Social Responsibility Initiative. He also sponsors the Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center at , as well as programs at the University of California at Berkeley’s Institute of East Asian Studies. 20th Anniversary 1986–2006 33
