The journalist and Presidential historian Jon Meacham has written biographies of Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, George H. W. Bush, John Lewis, and, now, Abraham Lincoln. He has served as an informal adviser to Joe Biden, helping him recently with the State of the Union address. Meacham brings a historian’s perspective to an inflection point in American history which, he believes, may compare to the run-up to the Civil War. Also, Michael Schulman speaks with Brooke Shields, the actress and model, about a new documentary on her life, and her complicated perspective on the sexualization of women and girls by the entertainment industry. And the music critic Kelefa Sanneh shares a fleet of artists bringing fresh sounds to what has become the least cool genre: mainstream rock.
