former Presidential candidate GEORGE MCGOVERN *** talk & book signing for Social Security and the Golden Age Wednesday, February 8th at 7 pm
In his timely new book, Social Security and the Golden Age: An Essay on the New American Demographic, one of our greatest living political thinkers, George McGovern, argues that Social Security is NOT currently facing a crisis. Instead, the former United States Senator and Democratic Presidential candidate discusses ways that we can maintain this program well into the future with just a few simple steps. George McGovern served in the U.S. Senate for 18 years and was the 1972 Democratic candidate for president. He is a decorated World War II bomber pilot, holds a Ph.D. from Northwestern University, and directed the first Food for Peace Program under President John F. Kennedy. In 2000, he was awarded the nation's highest honor, the Medal of Freedom. *** This Booksmith sponsored event will take place at the All Saints Church (1350 Waller) in San Francisco.
