Michael Medved Brings ``Right Turns'' Book Tour to Cleveland; Talk Show Host and Author to Speak at Ruth's Chris Luncheon

In "Right Turns" (Crown Forum; December 2004), Medved recalls the many important lessons that took him on his journey from the Left to the Right of American politics and pop culture. In the aftermath of the election of 2004, and the much-discussed rise of the "moral values" voters, Medved speaks for those tens of millions for whom increasing conservatism is directly connected to intensifying religiosity.

Michael Medved's daily radio program, "The Michael Medved Show," reaches more than two million listeners coast to coast. He is the author of nine other books, including the bestsellers "Hollywood Vs. America" and "What Really Happened to the Class of '65?" He is a member of USA Today's board of contributors. For more than a decade, he co-hosted "Sneak Previews," PBS's weekly movie review show.

Tickets for the event are $41.00 per person and include the cost of lunch, tax and gratuity. Tickets may be purchased through Ruth's Chris Steakhouse at 216-595-0809. For additional information about Michael Medved's visit to Cleveland call 216-901-0921, ext. 217, or visit www.whkradio.com.
