Coverage of Cohen Lecture Series
Events surrounding Thursday’s William S. Cohen Lecture, which included a talk by Gen. James Jones and roundtable with Cohen, were covered by several local media outlets. Jones was President Barack Obama’s first National Security Advisor and Cohen, a Bangor native, is the former congressman, senator, and secretary of defense under President Bill Clinton. The Bangor Daily News reported Jones said the outcome of uprisings in the Middle East could have an important impact on U.S. security. Bangor TV station WABI noted Jones said the death of Osama bin Laden is strategically very important. WVII also had a story about the lecture. The UMaine-based William S. Cohen Center for International Policy and Commerce presented the lecture, which is held every other year.
