Hoge, the former publisher of the New York Daily News and former editor of the Chicago Sun-Times, was appointed the fifth editor of the journal in 1992.
The lecture, part of the annual meeting of the Virginia Political Science Association, is free and open to the public.

Monticello project
The Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation, which owns and operates Monticello, has begun an oral history project called ``Getting the Word.'' The project's goal is to locate and interview descendants of Monticello's African American families.
The information gathered will contribute to an expanded and more balanced interpretation of the community of Monticello, residence of Thomas Jefferson for more than 60 years, and also home to a vital African American community.
For more information, call (804) 984-9808 or write to Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation, P.O. Box 316, Charlottesville, Va. 22902.
