Charles Peters' legacy as 'the godfather of neoliberalism'

Longtime journalist Charles Peters, who was often called the godfather of neoliberalism, died Thursday at his home in Washington. Peters was once a state campaign manager for John F. Kennedy and later an executive at the Peace Corps. He was also the founding editor of the Washington Monthly, a journal where he challenged the core beliefs of both liberals and conservatives.
