Political Gridlock in 2011, or Compromise, and JFK: 50 Years After his Election

My guest is Professor David King, Lecturer at the Harvard University’s John F.Kennedy School of Government.
 
                                                
 
David C. King is Lecturer in Public Policy at The Harvard Kennedy School and Faculty Chair of two programs: Harvard's Program for Newly Elected Members of the U.S. Congress and Harvard's executive program for leaders in State and Local Governments. He lectures on the U.S. Congress, Political Parties, and Election Reform. Professor King joined the Harvard faculty in 1992.

In the wake of the 2000 presidential elections, Professor King directed the Task Force on Election Administration for the National Commission on Election Reform, chaired by former presidents Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter. That effort culminated in landmark voting rights legislation signed by President Bush in late 2002. He later oversaw an evaluation and new management structure for the Boston Election Department.

David King is co-author of The Generation of Trust: Public Confidence in the U.S. Military Since Vietnam , (2003), author of Turf Wars: How Congressional Committees Claim Jurisdiction (1997), and co-editor of Why People Don't Trust Government (1997).
