News
The Bill Clinton Years
Professor of Government Marc Lendler started teaching his colloquium The Clinton Years almost as soon as Bill Clinton left the presidency. At first it was an experiment in assessing a presidency immediately after it ended, he says, "before mainstream interpretations got locked in." He did a similar examination with a course covering the eight years of the George W. Bush presidency. He plans to teach The Clinton Years once more before he replaces it with a course on the Barack Obama years.
