Deans, a national correspondent for Cox Newspapers, is a Richmond native. He has been described as writing about the River with “the eye of a fine journalist and the heart of a native Virginian.”
Deans fell in love with the news business at age 10, delivering his hometown paper, the Richmond TimesDispatch. And at about the same time he fell in love with the James River, where he spent long hours fishing with his father.
Deans’ career has taken him far from his home state, including assignments to 63 countries. In 1992, Deans moved to Washington, D.C., which has served as his base for covering foreign policy, national security and economic affairs. He also has covered the White House, and in 2002-2003 he was president of the White House Correspondents Association. Deans now lives in Bethesda, Maryland, with his wife, artist Karen Deans, and their three children.
When asked if his years spent covering Bill Clinton and George Bush helped him in writing this book, Deans replied that “Covering the White House has taught me a lot about how people exercise power, how they confront the limits of power add how even the Oval Office can be shaped as much by personalities as by policies. I recognize a lot of the people in this book. They have their strengths and weaknesses, just like Bush and Clinton do.”
The June 8 program featuring Deans is sponsored by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC) and will be held at the Rappahannock County Library.
