Q&A with Doris Kearns Goodwin

Doris Kearns Goodwin talked about her latest book, "The Bully Pulpit: Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and the Golden Age of Journalism," on the technological and economic changes brought on by the industrial revolution in the United States. She suggests that these changes widened the gulf between rich and poor throughout the country. She writes about a team of journalists with whom Roosevelt established connections from the then influential "McClure's" Magazine, which was founded by S.S. McClure. This legendary group of reporters included Ida Tarbell, Ray Stannard Baker, Lincoln Steffens and William Allen White. The group would later appropriate Roosevelt's derogatory term "muckraker" as their "badge of honor" as they wrote stories about corruption and politics. Goodwin tells the story of researching and writing this book, as well as some of the primary materials she drew upon for resource material.

    I watched and remembered this show, so that I found this clip I will share Ms. Kearns Goodwin words so that people better understand what temperament means... it is not about restraining from spewing insults, and it is definitely not about winning and becoming successful...we have it all wrong...

    Temperament is the predictability of manner with which one presents one's self. Sometimes it is simply a person's make-up; for people that have books written about them, it is more often based upon how a person publicly acts or reacts to external stimuli. When we are witness to a person under great stress the most accurate representation of temperament arises. Conversely, it can also be manufactured and disingenuous.
