Foreign affairs expert Talbott to
speak March 13 By Kurt J. Mueller
After an eight-month search, Talbott was elected the sixth president of the Brookings Institution, one of the nation's oldest public policy research institutions. His term will begin Sept. 1. Talbott served in the State Department during the Clinton administration, beginning a career in government after 21 years as a journalist for Time magazine. He has written six books on U.S.-Soviet relations and nuclear arms control. Most recently he co-edited The Age of Terror: America & the World After September 11. His next work, The Russia Hand: A Memoir of Personal Diplomacy, will be published in May. Before entering government, Talbott served as a fellow of the Yale Corp., a trustee of the Hotchkiss School in Lakeville, Conn., and as a director of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. He is a graduate of Yale University and spent three years at Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar.
