The library will host “The Election and the Next Four Years: An Evening With Brian Williams and Distinguished Guests” at 6 p.m. Nov. 18 at New Canaan High School. Williams will moderate a discussion with CNN political analyst David Gergen, advocate and philanthropist Peter Goldmark and Joe Scarborough, host of the MSNBC program "Morning Joe."
Williams and the panel will examine the 2012 presidential election, looking at both the outcome and implications for the future.
The Richard Salant Lecture Series and the library’s Richard Salant Room are named for Salant, a former president of CBS News whose tenure in the 1960s and 1970s included the news challenges of the Vietnam War and Watergate. Salant lived in New Canaan for 37 years before his death in 1993.
