Episode 36 - Interview with Tony Clark

Ron and Ed go off on a bit of a tangent on this episode and interview Anthony Clark, author of The Last Campaign: How Presidents Rewrite History, Run for Posterity and Enshrine Their Legacies. As the competition to land the Barack Obama Presidential Library heats up and Chicagoans debate contentious land use issues surrounding it, a new book about the politics of presidential libraries reveals an even more controversial, secret plan to grab thousands of acres from the US Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton to use for the Richard Nixon Presidential Library. Author and former House senior staffer Anthony Clark reveals the plan for the first time, which had been hidden for more than forty years.
