Max Boot, the distinguished political columnist, illuminates the untold story of Ronald Reagan, revealing the man behind the mythology. With its revelatory insights, Boot depicts a man with a good-versus-evil worldview derived from his moralistic upbringing and Hollywood westerns.

Join us for a conversation about the actor-turned-politician whose telegenic leadership ushered in a transformative conservative era in American politics and remained a man of profound contradictions, even to those closest to him.

Just over fifty years ago, a groundbreaking moment changed the course of history. On
October 7, 1975, President Gerald Ford signed Public Law 94-106, opening enrollment
to women at all US service academies.

Hear how that moment impacted Kathleen Kornahrens and her fellow graduates, as she relays her experience as a member of the first class to include women at the US Air Force Academy, over half a century later. She will be joined by her classmate Colonel Gail Colvin, USAF (Ret.) to examine the legacy of President Ford’s signature.

Following the talk there will be a sale and signing of Kornharen’s book, "“Bring Me Men…”
Brought Women: Marching with the First Female Cadets at the U.S. Air Force Academy".

A free virtual meeting opens the LOOKS campaign on 1 December 2026 at 12:00 Eastern Time (18:00 CET). It lasts two hours, costs nothing and needs no registration.

LOOKS is a documentary project about appearance and aesthetics that starts from oral health. The smile carries a large share of how people are judged at first sight, yet the science behind it is rarely explained outside a clinic.

The meeting presents the project, its educational mission and the resources it publishes. The campaign includes a feature documentary and an online series, alongside a free educational section written for a general audience.

Produced by Pawel Lipka, whose earlier work includes animation for The Garfield Show and visual effects for the feature film Suicide Room.
