Episode 7: Susan Glasser and Peter Baker on James A. Baker III

To paraphrase Henry Kissinger, "Who the heck is James Baker?” For a quarter-century, from the end of Watergate to the aftermath of the Cold War, no Republican won the presidency without his help or ran the White House without his advice. Susan Glasser and Peter Baker join our host Richard Aldous to discuss their new book, The Man Who Ran Washington: The Life and Times of James A. Baker III, a biography of George H. W. Bush's legendary White House chief of staff and Secretary of State, and a rumination about a Washington that perhaps no longer exists.
