Love, Death and Politics: Lessons for a Nation



One of the most adept political reporters reveals the US consciousness to us in a way that few could. Clift's husband died of cancer one day apart from Terry Schaivo, the brain damaged woman who's family was thrust onto the public, political stage as they battled over whether or not to end her life. Clift says this incident gave most Americans a glimpse into the fanaticism and political power of a small minority, more commonly called the religious right. She discusses what we learned and where we may be headed now.
