 Andrew Newman Zoom lecture

In 1990, then Governor Bill Clinton walked into an English class in rural Arkansas as they were studying Macbeth, and recited a soliloquy from the tragedy that he had memorized during his own senior year. The moment represented a remarkable convergence between literature, politics and the history of education.
