Coming up Sunday on C-SPAN
|
|
|
|
On almost all presidential rankings
lists, you will find Warren Harding's name at or near the bottom. On
C-SPAN's 2021 survey of presidential historians, he was 37 out of 44.
Historian Ryan Walters argues that while Harding had his faults, his
accomplishments — including bringing the country back to normalcy
after WWI and setting out an economic plan that led to the Roaring Twenties
— are often overlooked when assessing his presidency. In his book, The Jazz Age
President, Mr. Walters lays out his case for why
President Harding should rank higher. He joins Q&A at 8 pm ET Sunday
on C-SPAN.

about his years in politics and the Nixon White House. His book is

About Books

with Charles Kesler, editor of the Claremont Review of Books, about
conservative books and publishing.
The Weekly
Thirty years ago, Bill Clinton came in second in the New Hampshire
Democratic presidential primary. But "The Comeback Kid" won
the story line — on his way to winning the 1992 nomination and then
the White House. In a new episode of The Weekly, we
remember one of the most surprising and dramatic presidential
primaries in New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation history — 30 years
ago this month.
Also: This
week on the Lectures
in History podcast,
American University professor Joseph Campbell teaches a class about
the 1972 Watergate scandal and what he calls “the myth of heroic
journalism.”
