“Anyone who follows national politics knows Adam Clymer’s byline,” said Jonathan Earle, interim director of the Dole Institute. “His biography of Sen. Ted Kennedy is first-rate, and he has a compelling argument to make about the Panama Canal treaty as a ‘wedge’ issue between left and right.” Clymer’s latest book, “Drawing the Line at the Big Ditch: The Panama Canal Treaties and the Rise of the Right,” was published by the University Press of Kansas. Clymer was also the guest speaker at the afternoon Study Group session led by Dole Fellow Jennifer Schmidt.
