Historian’s encounters with Bush, his quiet humility

Presidential historian and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Doris Kearns Goodwin recalls a humorous incident during a visit years ago to the home of former President George H.W. Bush, an ordeal that ended with him telling her, “at least you write well,” she says. Goodwin joins Hari Sreenivasan from Washington, D.C., to talk more about what she described as his quiet humility.
