Way back in a time I like to call “Pre-Obama is our President-Elect time,” Planned Parenthood hosted a rather large shindig, in which Doris Kearns Goodwin was the keynote speaker.
Yes, I know what you’re thinking—- “DORIS KEARNS GOODWIN, AWARD-WINNING HISTORIAN AND AUTHOR OF THE BOOK TEAM OF RIVALS, A BOOK WHICH HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY RELEVANT IN THE ANALYSIS OF PRESIDENT-ELECT OBAMA’S CABINET SELECTIONS? THAT DORIS KEARNS GOODWIN?!?!”
To which I reply—-yes, THAT Doris Kearns Goodwin. It’s true—Kearns Goodwin’s book, A Team of Rivals: the Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln, continues to come up when discussing the apparent conflict between the President-Elect and several of his future cabinet members. Kearns' field of research is so increasingly relevant that her speech from the Planned Parenthood fundraiser has been featured on MPR not once but twice!
If you weren’t able to hear Kearns Goodwin in person, then you should definitely give her speech (excerpted by MPR) a listen.
How very relevant indeed!
