He is also a Senior Fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution, a University Professor in the Foundations of Democracy and Culture at the McCourt School of Public Policy, a Senior Research Fellow at Saint Anselm College, and an NPR, MSNBC, and PBS commentator. ==Life and career== Dionne was born in Boston, Massachusetts, on April 23, 1952. He is the son of the late Lucienne (née Galipeau), a librarian and teacher, and Eugene J. Dionne, a dentist, and was raised in Fall River, Massachusetts. He is of French-Canadian descent. He attended Portsmouth Abbey School, (then known as Portsmouth Priory), a Benedictine college preparatory school in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. Dionne holds a BA in social studies from Harvard University (1973), where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and was affiliated with Adams House, and a D.Phil. in sociology from Balliol College, Oxford (1982), where he was a Rhodes Scholar. Dionne's published works include the influential 1991 bestseller ''Why Americans Hate Politics'', which argued that several decades of political polarization was alienating a silent centrist majority. It was characterized as radical centrist by ''Time'' magazine.〔Duffy, Michael (May 20, 1991). "(Looking for The Radical Middle )". ''Time'' magazine.

Before becoming a columnist for the ''Post'' in 1993, he worked as a reporter for that paper as well as ''The New York Times''. He has recently joined the left-liberal The National Memo news-politics website. Dionne lives in Bethesda, Maryland, with his wife, Mary Boyle, and three children, James, Julia, and Margot. He also has one sibling, CAPT Lucie-Anne Dionne-Thomas, JAGC, USN (Ret.), of Middletown, Rhode Island, who also served as a civilian attorney in the Navy following retirement. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「E.
