William Kristol, editor of The Weekly Standard, delivered the 40th annual Hanify-Howland Memorial Lecture on Nov. 16 in the Hogan Campus Center Ballroom. The lecture, which focused on American foreign policy in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, was followed by a question and answer session. In addition to his lecture, which was open to the campus community and the general public free of charge, Kristol met the following day with approximately 50 students who were members of the Hanify-Howland committee or who had applied to attend the special seminars.
One of the nation's leading political analysts and commentators, Kristol regularly appears on Fox News Sunday. The co-author of The New York Times bestseller The War Over Iraq, he has most recently edited the well-received anthology The Weekly Standard, A Reader: 1995-2005. Before starting The Weekly Standard in 1995, Kristol led the "Project for the Republican Future," where he helped shape the strategy that produced the 1994 Republican Congressional victory. Prior to that, he served as chief of staff to vice president Dan Quayle during the Bush administration, and to Secretary of Education William Bennett under President Reagan. Before coming to Washington in 1985, Kristol taught politics at the University of Pennsylvania and at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government.
The annual Hanify-Howland Lecture honors the late Edward F. Hanify, a 1904 graduate of Holy Cross and a Massachusetts Superior Court justice for 15 years, who died in 1954. The series was started by Hanify's friend, the late Weston Howland of Milton, Mass., board chairman of Warwick Mills, Inc., who died in 1976.
