Navasky to speak at Alumni Collection

Victor Navasky '54, one of the country's most ad-mired journalists, will be the Collection speaker on Saturday, June 5, during Alumni Weekend.

Editor of The Nation magazine since 1978, Navasky became its publisher and editorial director four years ago. He also is director of the George T. Delacorte Center for Magazine Journalism at Columbia University and does a monthly commentary on public radio.
