DAVID CAY JOHNSTON
Wednesday, April 30 at 6 p.m.

A New York Times journalist who has received numerous honors in over forty years of work, including the Pulitzer Prize and the George Polk Award, David Cay Johnston is here with his newest book, Free Lunch: How the Wealthiest Americans Enrich Themselves at Government Expense (and Stick You with the Bill) (Portfolio). "If you're concerned about congressional earmarks, stock options (especially backdated options), hedge fun tax breaks, abuse of eminent domain, subsidies to sports teams, K Street lobbyists, the state of our health-care system, to say nothing of the cavernous gap between rich and poor, you'll read this fine book—as I did—with a growing sense of outrage. Free Lunch makes it clear that it's high time for 'We the People' to stand up and be counter." - John C. Bogle. David Cay Johnston is also the author of the much-acclaimed Perfectly Legal.
