Historian Doris Kearns Goodwin is known for chronicling the lives and leadership styles of some of America’s most prominent presidents. But for her latest book she focused on a different sort of subject: her husband, the late political adviser Dick Goodwin. Part memoir, part history, “An Unfinished Love Story: A Personal History of the 1960s” tells the story of the decade through more than 300 boxes of Dick’s archives. Doris joined David to talk about the book, the parallels between the 1960s and today, the state of American democracy, and what can be learned about the present by looking to the past.

Abortion will certainly be a key issue in tonight's CNN debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. And just hours before the two meet at CNN's world headquarters in Atlanta, the Supreme Court issued a ruling that, for now, allows emergency abortions in Idaho when the mother's health is at risk. At first glance, it's a big win for abortion rights forces fighting against states' efforts to further restrict abortion access.
