Washington Week

Dan Balz on how politics has evolved

No one in Washington knows national politics like Dan Balz. He is a master of the granular detail, and he is also an early spotter of grand, sweeping trends. He and Jeffrey Goldberg discuss how things have changed — and how they’ve stayed the same — since he first came to Washington in 1972.
