Historian troy talks to 60 minutes correspondent lesley about the impact of the Clinton Administration on foreign and domestic politics and culture. [applause] i have to turn my phone off before we do anything. Wouldnt that be something if it went off . I was told you that i know grill because he is a president ial historian and i met him when he did his book and we met at the Reagan Library and hes the most generous person. He was helping me. I didnt know what i was doing out there. He taught me how to work in a president ial library so we have been friends ever since. This book is wonderful having read every word.

Carolina, texas, kentucky, maryland and West Virginia plus an overview report on the region. Next month, we will publish reports on northeastern and midwestern states. The researchers who have produced the reports come from a variety of disciplines.
