Dear Dole Institute Supporter,<br>

<br>

I’m delighted to announce that we are returning to in-person programs this fall.<br>

 <br>

We’ll be taking appropriate precautions. We have installed an air purifier in Hansen Hall. Although we don’t have the space for social distancing, we’ll be rigorously enforcing the KU mask mandate.<br>

 <br>

We will constantly monitor the Covid-19 situation and reserve the right to reschedule any program or transition to virtual at any time.<br>

 <br>

We will continue to stream our programs on YouTube for both our national audience as well as those who may be uncomfortable with in-person programs at this time. You may view them live or at a time of your convenience.<br>

 <br>

It’s a wonderful schedule and I hope you can join us,<br>

<br>

Bill Lacy<br>

Director<br>

Kansas’s preeminent broadcaster, the legendary Bill Kurtis, will join us to discuss his thoughts on the future of journalism, returning to the state where he first started his career. Kurtis worked as a radio announcer at age 16 in his hometown of Independence,

 graduated from the University of Kansas with a degree in journalism in 1962, and got his first job as a television news anchor in Topeka in 1966. He has gone on to have a career in journalism spanning over 50 years, including anchoring the news at CBS and

 hosting the television shows <em>Investigative Reports, Cold Case Files</em>, and <em>American Justice</em>.<br>

<br>

Kurtis’s iconic, deep commanding voice has also led him to have a second career in comedy. He provided the satirical narration for the film

<em>Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy</em> and he can be heard weekly on NPR as the co-host of the immensely popular, comical news quiz,

<em>Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me</em>.</p>

 collecting thousands of articles written about Taylor for his book, “The World's Fastest Man: The Extraordinary Life of Cyclist Major Taylor, America's First Black Sports Hero,” in which he tells the story of how Taylor overcame insurmountable odds to become

 a world-class athlete during the Jim Crow era. Taylor's trailblazing accomplishments had widespread impact across society and are relevant to conversations we are having about African American athletes today.<br>

In the years prior to World War I, the French military wrestled with how to defend itself against a larger, more industrialized foe. Like the Great War’s other major combatants, the French pre-war doctrine proved to be ill-suited to meet the realities of the

 1914 battlefield. This lecture will examine the factors that influenced the French Army’s pre-war doctrine, how the army envisioned fighting “the next great war,” and how it adapted its tactical strategy from 1915 to 1918, after its peacetime doctrine failed

 to secure France’s hope for victory in 1914.</p>

Between 1945 and 1975, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam fought and won two major conflicts against tremendous odds: one against France and the other against the U.S. and its South Vietnamese ally. The architects of these incredible victories were General

 Vo Nguyen Giap, the commander of the North Vietnamese Army, and Le Duan, the General Secretary of the Vietnam Worker’s Party. Although they both utilized a hybrid politico-military approach that synthesized conventional war, guerrilla warfare, and mass politics,

 they each pursued a unique variation of communist revolutionary warfare. In this lecture, Clemis will discuss how these men and their theories of war carried the communists to victory in Vietnam, and in doing so, brought the most far-reaching and consequential

 conflict of the Cold War to a conclusion.</p>

<br>

Brown and Mills will discuss two of the most influential Cold War theoriest: George Kennan and Paul Nitze, who were exact opposites in strategy and outlook. Kennan was a realist who<br>

believed the U.S. should eliminate its arsenal of nuclear weapons. His guiding philosophy was that an individual or a nation that desired peace should act peacefully, although<br>

his opinions on dealing with the U.S.S.R. ironically led to the most aggressive foreign policy in American history. Nitze was a hawk who advocated a more assertive role in foreign affairs, believing that if a nation desired peace, it should prepare for war.

 More than any other American, Nitze was responsible for the arms race between the two superpowers throughout the<br>

Cold War.<br>
