DIRECTORS’ FORUM AUDIO Joan BiskupicGuest(s): Joan Biskupic October 25, 2005 Author Joan Biskupic talks with Hoover's own David Brady about her new biography of soon-to-be-retired Supreme Court justice Sandra Day O'Connor. Ms. Biskupic contends that O'Connor's influential tenure on the nation's highest court had as much to do with her consensus style and advocacy as it did with being a moderate among strongly liberal and conservative peers.
Joan Biskupic is the author of the new book Sandra Day O'Connor: How the First Woman on the Supreme Court Became Its Most Influential Justice. Biskupic was a reporter for the Washington Post for eight years, writing primarily about the U.S. Supreme Court, and won the Everett Dirksen award for Distinguished Reporting on Congress for her coverage of the Clarence Thomas hearings. Interviewed by David Brady, Hoover Institution Deputy Director and Davies Family Senior Fellow . |
