Once a year students, faculty, attorneys, historians and others gather at the University of Wisconsin Law School to celebrate the distinguished career of Bob Kastenmeier at a lecture named after our former congressman, statesman, and scholar. Bob was no ordinary member of Congress ? he was never part of the Washington elite. He was too busy fighting for civil rights, women?s rights and peace during his 32 years representing Wisconsin.
….This year the Kastenmeier Lecture is honored to welcome New York Times columnist Bob Herbert. Herbert, a gifted journalist, chose the title: ?Afghanistan: What are we fighting for??
