About the Speakers:
Mike Allen is the chief political correspondent for POLITOCO. He comes from Time magazine where he was their White House correspondent. Prior to that, Allen spent six years at The Washington Post, where he covered President Bush's first term, Capitol Hill, campaign finance, and the Bush, Gore and Bradley campaigns of 2000. Before turning to national politics, he covered schools and local governments in rural counties outside Fredericksburg, Va., for The Free Lance-Star, then wrote about Doug Wilder, Oliver North, Chuck Robb and the Bobbitts for the Richmond Times-Dispatch, where he nurtured police sources on overnight ride-alongs through housing projects. Allen also covered Mayor Giuliani, the Connecticut statehouse and the wacky rich of Greenwich for The New York Times. Before moving to The Times, he did stints in the Richmond and Alexandria bureaus of The Washington Post. Allen grew up in Orange County, Calif., and has a B.A. from Washington and Lee University, where he majored in politics and journalism.
Gordon Lubold, a defense reporter, joined POLITICO after working for The Christian Science Monitor and, before that, Army Times newspapers. He arrived in Afghanistan after Sept. 11, 2001, as an embedded reporter and then embedded again with a Marine unit prior to the invasion of Iraq in 2003. He has embedded or traveled with the military overseas many times since. When he's not playing foreign correspondent, he can be found in the corridors of the Pentagon or the halls of the Hill. Gordon graduated from the College of Wooster in Ohio.
When/Where: Monday, Oct. 4, 2010, 11 a.m. to 12 p.m., Pentagon Auditorium, Room BH650.
