Known as the Dean of American Pollsters, Harris will probe the problem: “Whatever Happened to the Pursuit of Excellence?”  For more than half a century Harris ran one of the best-known polling organizations of his time.  He was also chief polling analyst for CBS News, and later ABC News, as well as columnist for the Washington Post, Newsweek, Chicago Tribune and New York Daily News.  His highly respected studies have influenced elections, public policy, and social issues, thus shaping America as we know it today.  His books include The Anguish of Change (1973) and Inside America (1987).  At age 93, he is presently writing his memoir.
