Tom Brokaw in conversation with Marty Kaplan

Norman Lear Center director Marty Kaplan

On Tuesday, Nov. 29, Norman Lear Professor of Entertainment, Media and Society Marty Kaplan will join Tom Brokaw in a conversation about his new book, The Time of Our Lives: A Conversation About America. According to Kaplan, "Brokaw breaks down his conversation into crucial questions about the way we live: Can we be satisfied with less? Can’t we as individuals do more for our communities? What is the meaning of higher education on a global level, and what does it mean financially for the elite as well as for the non-elite? What is the real meaning of 'friend'?" The event will take place at The Writers Guild Theater, 135 South Doheny Drive, in Beverly Hills.  Tickets are $20, and guests may RSVP here.
