The State of the Union is Not Good
"The State of the Union is Not Good." That unlikely phrase is taken from President Gerald Ford's 1975 State of the Union address as the general feeling in America goes from bad to worse. The phrase reflects an America careening from crisis to crisis in the second half of the decade. Richard Reeves, Lesley Stahl, Douglas Brinkley, and Rick Perlstein help us understand why.
