Lecture and book signing by Richard Muti

You are cordially invited to attend a lecture and book signing by Richard Muti on Thursday, October 17 at the Italian American Museum. Richard Muti, former mayor of Ramsey, NJ, will present his fourth book, titled Essays for my Father: A legacy of passion, politics, and patriotism in small-town America. Mayor Muti wrote and published this book in order to mark the 100th anniversary of his father's birth. The elder Muti, a lifelong resident of Ramsey as well as a local business and political leader, instilled in his son a love of history, politics, and public policy. Essays for my Father is a collection of essays about politics, unnecessary wars and wrong-headed government, rare displays of political courage, not-so-rare displays of political cowardice, an Italian-American heritage shared by 17 million Americans, public employee unions, and other public policy issues that challenge state and federal government. No politician, regardless of political party, or government policy is safe from the author's scrutiny, but those mired in the usual hypocrisy of the public arena are particular targets.
Richard Muti has more than 100 publishing credits, mostly having to do with public policy, law, politics, and government. He spent 19 years as a successful trial prosecutor and has also taught writing, American government and politics, criminal justice, and history at three New Jersey universities. He is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Harvard Business School, and Rutgers Law School, as well as a former Navy pilot and former mayor of Ramsey, New Jersey, his hometown.
