Peace in the Desert Lecture with Linda Wertheimer

The Saltman Center for Conflict Resolution at the William S. Boyd School of Law presents "Cooling the Partisan Fires."

Linda Wertheimer, senior national correspondent for National Public Radio, gave the Saltman Center’s annual Peace in the Desert™ lecture on Nov. 6, 2011 in UNLV’s Artemus Ham Hall. Her talk focused on the conflict—and at times, the downright hatred—Americans are feeling between one another and their government. As a veteran observer of politics for many years and a news anchor for 10 presidential elections, Wertheimer was able to discuss the role of partisanship in politics over the last 40 years, how today’s version compares to other eras, and how the public might possibly affect that role.
