莫妮卡·克劳莉 - 简介
克劳莉于1968年在亚利桑那州出生,那年理查德·尼克松当选为总统。克劳莉对尼克松的最初印象是在5岁时留下的,克劳莉看到尼克松宣布,他决定于1974年8月8日辞职。
1990年7月3日,克劳莉成为前总统尼克松的外交政策助理,并一直担任这个职务,直到1994年4月22日尼克松与世长辞的那一天。在这4年中,克劳莉和尼克松在政治及外交政策方面无话不谈。尼克松曾经改变了美国的政治,改变了世界力量的对比,并成为那些追求善良与邪恶、辉煌与欺诈、无私与自私、伟大与卑微的人们崇拜的偶像。即使在去世后,尼克松仍然引人注目,引起争议,有着无穷的魅力。克劳莉与尼克松总统相处的4年,是这位前总统的最后几年时间,
克劳莉在科尔盖特大学一年级攻读政治科学时,恰逢罗伯特·考夫曼担任学校的国家安全问题教授。他培养了克劳莉对外交事务和国家安全问题的兴趣。上四年级之前,当克劳莉准备离校度暑假时,考夫曼借给克劳莉几本书,其中一本是理查德·尼克松所写的《1999:不战而胜》。
克劳莉协助尼克松撰写了他最后的两本书:《只争朝夕--美国在一个超级大国世界的挑战》和《超越和平》。
从一开始,尼克松总统就是克劳莉的良师益友、老板和美国政治史的导师。由于不可多得的机会,克劳莉得以在私下场合接触这位20世纪最重要和不朽的人物之一,耳濡目染他的思想、行为和个性。克劳莉自1989年就开始写日记,尼克松对此全然不知。每次交谈之后,克劳莉马上就把谈话的内容、气氛和自己的感想记下来。《不在案的记录》中所引述的都是前总统尼克松的原话。他虽然是在私人谈话中表达他的政治见解和个人观点,但他显然知道,他的这些言论终将公之于世。
Education
Crowley holds a B.A. in Political Science from Colgate University and a Ph.D. in International Relations from Columbia University (2000). The title of her doctoral dissertation was Clearer than truth: Determining and preserving grand strategy. The evolution of American policy toward the People's Republic of China under Truman and Nixon.
Career
Writing
Crowley began written correspondence with former President Richard Nixon while attending Columbia which led to the two meeting. She had the opportunity to continue her education at Villanova University but instead accepted a position as a research assistant for Nixon. Nixon promoted her to Foreign Policy Assistant in 1990 because he appreciated her foreign policy opinions. She was an editorial adviser and consultant on his last two books, Seize the Moment (1992) and Beyond Peace (1994). She held the position until Nixon's death in 1994. Crowley used this period to record her conversations and observations about Nixon (she kept a diary), and she published two subsequent books on the former President in his final years: Nixon Off the Record: His Candid Commentary on People (1996) and Nixon in Winter (1998).
In the mid-1990s Crowley wrote a column for the New York Post. She has written for The New Yorker, the Wall Street Journal, the LA Times, the Baltimore Sun, and the Washington Times.
She was a term member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
Radio
Crowley was a commentator for National Public Radio's "Morning Edition" in the mid-1990s.
Since 2002, Crowley has had her own radio show, The Monica Crowley Show, which originally had been on weekends on Westwood One and then moved to Talk Radio Network first on Saturdays and then on weekdays 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm ET. Beginning in July 2009, The Monica Crowley Show went back to its former weekend-only format and has been available as a podcast on iTunes. Talk Radio Network cites various commitments on the part of Crowley that have made it hard for her to continue the daily show.
Television
In 1996, she joined Fox News Channel, where she was a foreign affairs and political analyst. She received her doctorate in international relations from Columbia University during this period. She substituted several times for Sean Hannity on Fox News Channel's Hannity & Colmes.
In 2004, she joined MSNBC's Connected: Coast to Coast with co-host Ron Reagan. After a nine-month run, the last show aired on December 9, 2005. Following the cancellation of Connected: Coast to Coast, MSNBC announced that Crowley would anchor a program in the noon hour. That program never debuted.
She has appeared as a recurring guest on Imus in the Morning and has hosted MSNBC's broadcast of The Best of Imus in the Morning. On October 31, 2005, Crowley appeared on The Colbert Report.
In mid 2007, Crowley returned as a contributor to Fox News Channel. She has been a regular participant on The McLaughlin Group since late 2007, taking the seat formerly occupied by conservative journalist Tony Blankley.
Some of Monica Crowley's statements to a TV audience drew international attention. On December 8, 2008 on The O'Reilly Factor, she gave her opinion about the social situation in the capital of the Netherlands, stating that "Amsterdam is a cesspool of corruption, crime. Everything is out of control. It's anarchy." Her remark provoked several public rebuttals from Dutch citizens and was widely reflected in the blogosphere.
Crowley is a regular panelist on Fox News channel's late-night satire show Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld. On March 17, 2009, the panel engaged in a controversial discussion about Canada's military and Federal Police force. Calling the segment "crass" and "insensitive," Canadian Defence Minister Peter MacKay called on Fox News and the panelists for an apology. Both Crowley and host Greg Gutfield swiftly provided apologies.
Personal life
Crowley was born in Arizona and grew up in Warren Township, New Jersey. She now lives in the New York City area. She is a Boston Red Sox fan. Crowley's sister Jocelyn is an associate professor at Rutgers University and is married to FOX News contributor Alan Colmes.
