Now, just after finishing a six-year term in the Senate, Evans is once again taking a breather from the rough and tumble world of politics. This time, Harvard's Kennedy School of Government is his place of retreat.
Evans, a fellow at the Institute of Politics (IOP) this spring, brings to Harvard a perspective of experience from the executive and legislative branches. Meanwhile, the Kennedy School offers him the chance to sit-back and review his political experience of the past three decades.
"These breaks are a great transition from one piece of your career to another," says Evans, explaining that over the next few months he hopes to begin a book on the political and social shifts that have marked his political career.
A former member of the Senate's Energy and Natural Resources Committee and the International Economic and Environmental Subcommittee, Evans now leads a student study group called "The Search for a Livable Planet." As a fellow, he is available to undergraduates and graduates and participates in brown bag lunch programs...
Evans says his book will focus on 1965 to 1977, the turbulent years when he was governor of Washington, overseeing years of Civil Rights strife Vietnam protests and pollution problems.
