If you are interested in hearing authors' speak about their latest books, we highly recommend listening to The Leonard Lopate Show on WNYC weekdays @ noon. Mr. Lopate is an intelligent, highly informed interviewer (he actually reads the books before the show) and was the speaker at our Endowment Fund Lecture last year.

Save the date, May 11, to see RVC native, Michael Gross, speak at the 2010 Endowment Lecture. Michael Gross is one of America's most provocative non-fiction writers. A contributing editor of Travel + Leisure and editor of Bergdorf Goodman Magazine, he's written for Vanity Fair, Esquire, GQ, Town & Country, the New York Times and New York, and authored eleven books, among them, the best-sellers Model and 740 Park. His latest book is the controversial Rogues' Gallery.
