From the day they first met at Yale Law School, Bill and Hillary were inseparable and combative. As historian William H. Chafe reveals in Bill and Hillary: The Politics of the Personal that dynamic has remained a constant throughout their remarkable political careers.  Always tempestuous, their relationship had as many lows as it did highs, from near divorce to stunning electoral and political successes. “An illuminating glimpse behind the scenes”—Kirkus Reviews. Chafe is the author of numerous prizewinning books on civil rights, women's history, and politics, including The Unfinished Journey: America Since World War II and Private Lives / Public Consequences.

Hundreds of people have been arrested at the North Carolina Legislative Building as part of the "Moral Mondays" protests against policies by the Republican-led legislature and Gov. Pat McCrory. Five of those people -- Duke professors Willie Jennings, Robin Kirk, Bill Turner, Jed Purdy and Bill Chafe -- participated in a live webcast interview about the protests Monday, July 1. Also joining the conversation was Duke alumnus David Graham who wrote a recent article for The Atlantic about the protests, which compared North Carolina's politics with those of Wisconsin's two year ago.
