As memories fade or are misunderstood, my hope w/this book and its focus on the decade of the 1960s is to examine the opportunities seized, mistakes made, chances lost & lessons to be learned for use in our fractured time. It is up to us to write this next chapter of our story.

Just in time for the weekend! It was great to talk with Michael Collina Audible about the emotional and ultimately fulfilling journey of reading my new book for the audio edition, along with Bryan Cranston, accompanied by the actual voices of the 1960s—JFK & LBJ and others.

So enjoyed my conversation with the always engaging and uber prepared Steve Scully for “The Briefing with Steve Scully” SiriusXM before we would be together today in City of Erie, Pennsylvania. You can listen to it here bit.ly/4acg1ds

How wonderful it is to return to City of Erie, Pennsylvania with Steve Scully JES of Erie and the Erie County Bar Association for this terrific day! How I only wish I had more time here today to run around with my key to the city. But I’ll be back. Thanks to everyone in this special place!

It's been absolutely wonderful meeting so many readers in person these last weeks—from NY to DC, Denver, San Antonio, Sonoma, SF, to home in Boston. LA and La Jolla next. Hope to see you along the way. As the great Willie Nelson sings, 'Just can't wait to get on the road again.'

Shirley Shirley Leung! I had the best time on your podcast 'Say More' and during our trip through the newsroom The Boston Globe, seeing old friends and meeting new ones. I never would have expected to be leaning into being 81 years old, but I must say, I'm rather enjoying it!

Can't wait! Looking forward to being in conversation with the great Robert Costa in DC. Join us!

How glad I was to be invited back to Stephen Colbert The Late Show to talk about the people, the era & causes that matter most to me. This time: my late husband Dick Goodwin & the 1960s, a time when we felt we could make a difference. We need that now! youtube.com/watch?v=dJBjRv…

Tonight! The Late Show @stephenathome #colbert

As crazy as it may sound at my age, I'm on the road to 20+ cities over the next couple of months with my new book published today about the pivotal figures and defining moments of the 1960s and the last great adventure I took with my husband Dick Goodwin before he died.

It's so great to be in NYC on this beautiful spring day to join Hoda Kotb TODAY and Mika Brzezinski Jonathan Lemire Morning Joe and tonight I'll be at the The 92nd Street Y, New York with David M. Rubenstein to talk about my new book, available tomorrow Simon & Schuster. Thanks to all for your support!

I am usually the one asking all the questions, but I so enjoyed answering them for Scott Heller ! Our conversation is in today's The New York Times accompanied by a warm, engaging & youthful portrait of me—in the early years of my eighth decade! Rebecca Clarke

'The crosswinds of fate sometimes whip up to such an intensity that politics are upended and the direction of the country reversed in an instant. The end of March and the beginning of April 1968 was such a cataclysmic moment.' You can read more here The Wall Street Journal

What a terrific time I had talking with Preet Bharara about the lessons of the 1960s, my new book, and so much more!

Well, hello, welcome to my new home and a literal up-close look at my books, belongings, and even my bedroom! I was worried that finishing 'An Unfinished Love Story' would make me miss my husband & old house more, but it only has kept the memories alive.

This article captures the essence of my new book on the 1960s, a time when individuals were powered by the belief they could make a difference—by joining the Peace Corps, sit-ins & freedom rides, demonstrating against segregation & the denial of the vote. We need this spirit now!

It's been a whirlwind time! Just as I'm getting ready to launch 'An Unfinished Love Story,' the cover of my first book for young readers has been finalized: 'The Leadership Journey: How Four Kids Became President.' Pre-orders available today for the Sept. 3 publication Simon Kids
