On Tuesday, Vanity Fair joined forces with Hofstra University for a panel discussion, “Creating Images of the American Presidency: From Campaigns to the White House,” at the Peter S. Kalikow Center for the Study of the American Presidency, in Hempstead, NY. Before a packed crowd, the participants discussed everything from Ronald Reagan’s masterful photo ops to Barack Obama’s 11th-hour health-care comeback. On hand were Vanity Fair contributing editor Todd Purdum and illustrator Mark Summers along with political strategist Edward J. Rollins and Hofstra professor Lisa Merrill. At the centerpiece of the lively discussion was Vanity Fair’s new book Presidential Profiles: Defining Portraits, Deeds, and Misdeeds of 43 Notable Americans—And What Each One Really Thought About His Predecessor (Abrams Books). To learn more about the 43 men who’ve held the highest U.S. office, pick up a copy or watch the full-length video of Tuesday’s discussion.
