WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY A IN ST LOUIS David Broder to speak on American politics David S. Broder, national political correspondent and columnist for The Washington Post, will speak on "The American Political Scene" at the Thomas C. Hennings Memorial Lecture at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 17, in Graham Chapel. Broder, winner of the 1973 Pulitzer Prize for distinguished commentary, is the author of The Republican Establish- ment: The Present and Future of the G.O.P.; The Party's Over: The Failure of Politics in America; and Changing of the Guard: Power and Leadership in America. His column is syndicated in more than 260 newspapers. A 1980 American University survey of the Washington press corps said, "David Broder's integrity and hard work have led him to be anointed the unof- ficial 'chairman of the board' by na- tional political writers. He heads an elite clan whose articles are carefully watched by the public, politicians, and, most im- portant, other reporters." Broder began his career in journal- ism as a reporter for The Daily Panto- graph in Bloomington, 111., in 1953. Ten years and two newspapers later, he How about inviting this foursome to your next bridge party?
