About this listen

 Former presidential speechwriter Michael Waldman and publisher Andre Schiffrin on this edition of Fresh Air. Waldman's new book is called POTUS Speaks: Finding the Words that Defined the Clinton Presidency. From 1993 to 1999, Waldman was a special assistant and chief speechwriter to Bill Clinton. During that time, he worked closely with the president to write or edit nearly two thousand speeches, including four State of the Union addresses and two inaugural addresses. Previously a public-interest lawyer and writer, Waldman is the author of Who Robbed America? A Citizen's Guide to the S&L Scandal. Schiffrin, director of The New Press, and former head of Pantheon books, talks about the New York publishing world from the business side. He's just written The Business of Books, described as part memoir, part history of contemporary publishing. (Broadcast Date: September 27, 2000)(P) and ©2000 WHYY-FM
