Longtime political reporter Robert Novak will make an appearance Tuesday in Lawrence.

The Dole Institute of Politics will host “An Evening with Robert D. Novak” at 7:30 p.m. on Kansas University’s West Campus.

Novak, a conservative reporter and commentator, has worked in Washington, D.C., for decades. He is a syndicated columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times and writes “Inside Report.”

He also gained publicity in 2003 for naming CIA operative Valerie Plame in a column as the wife of Joseph Wilson.

After the free and public event, Novak will sign copies of his book, “The Prince of Darkness: 50 Years Reporting in Washington.”
