February 12, 1999 - Historian Doris Kearns Goodwin Speaks at DePauw University (Montage)

In modern times and throughout history, Americans have sought the truth from their presidents, says Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and best-selling author Doris Kearns Goodwin. The author of books on the presidencies of Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson spoke at DePauw University as part of a series of speakers on the issue of "Ethics and Morality in Leadership." Her Timothy and Sharon Ubben Lecture, "The Moral Authority of the Presidency," was delivered on the same day the U.S. Senate voted against the impeachment of President Bill Clinton.
