featuring Ken Gormley, Dean of Law School and Professor of Constitutional Law, Duquesne University, Pittsburgh

Ken Gormley is a jurist and was a judge for the court of law of Pittsburgh and the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. His academic and practical expertise made him an in demand commentator and analyst for US Television, radio and the American press. The United States Senate used his expertise in two proceedings.

In Cologne, Gormley talks about his new book „The Death of American Virtue: Clinton vs. Starr”. Ten years after the political scandal which kept America on its toes during the nineties, Gormley gives us a detailed and fascinating view behind the curtain and illuminates the details of these legal disputes. Gormley's book caused a stir even before its publishing, as it promised explosive new revelations of the Clinton-Starr scandal. It is counted as THE work about the political drama, that captivated the nation and almost brought down the presidency of Bill Clinton.

“The Death of American Virtue” was named editor's choice of the New York Times and placed high on the New York Times-Bestseller List.
