Podcast appearances and mentions of John A Farrell

When someone asks, "What's your favorite restaurant?" odds are you're inclined to recommend a place you've eaten at recently—even if it's not really your favorite. It's just top of mind. Why do we weigh recent events so heavily? And how does this tendency impact important decisions, like whom to vote for or how to conduct medical procedures? In this episode of Choiceology with Katy Milkman, we look at a phenomenon that can cause us to overweight recent events compared to earlier events and make suboptimal decisions. The 1968 presidential election was one of the closest elections in American history. Following an eventful year of civil unrest, war, and high-profile assassinations, eleventh-hour political machinations from Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon majorly impacted results. "October surprises," or last-minute revelations in the days before a November election, can weigh heavily on voters' minds at the polling booths. John A. Farrell documents the surprising events leading up to 1968 Election Day and President Richard Nixon's narrow victory.John A. Farrell is a historian and celebrated political biographer. He is the best-selling author of Richard Nixon: The Life, and his latest book is Ted Kennedy: A Life.Next, Katy speaks with Manasvini Singh about her research on recency effect and its impacts on physician decision-making in the delivery room. You can learn more in the Science paper Manasvini authored, titled "Heuristics in The Delivery Room."Manasvini Singh is an assistant professor of social and decision sciences at Carnegie Mellon University. Her research focuses on topics at the intersection between decision theory and health policy.Choiceology is an original podcast from Charles Schwab. If you enjoy the show, please leave a rating or review on Apple Podcasts. Important DisclosuresThe comments, views, and opinions expressed in the presentation are those of the speakers and do not necessarily represent the views of Charles Schwab.Data contained herein from third party providers is obtained from what are considered reliable source.

Ted Kennedy's life was buffeted by heartbreak: the violent deaths of his three older brothers, his own terrible plane crash, his children's bouts with cancer, the hideous self-inflicted wounds of Chappaquiddick. Those wounds scarred Ted deeply but also tempered his character, and, eventually, he embarked on a run as legislator that would change America for the better. John A.

Farrell, who recalls Richard Nixon's extraordinary rise to the American presidency in 1968, eight years after his crushing defeat to John F. Kennedy.

The words “Nixonian” and “Watergate territory” are being used increasingly in connection with the Trump Administration.

Award-winning author and former Boston Globe correspondent John A. Farrell will discuss his new book, Richard Nixon: The Life  with Brian McGrory, editor of The Boston Globe.

It's one of the darker chapters in American electoral history: the alleged tampering with Vietnam peace talks in the fall of 1968 by candidate Richard Nixon. We hear author John A. Farrell discussing the so-called smoking-gun memo that appears to implicate Nixon. This interview was conducted April 18 at the Miller Center at the University of Virginia by Douglas Blackmon. Total Run Time: (53:00)

John Farrell discusses his new Nixon biography.

Trump seems to have changed his mind about a lot of things in the last day or two –it seems like Putin is no longer his number one friend, China is no longer his number one enemy, and Steve Bannon is no longer his number one “chief strategist.” Harold Meyerson will comment. Also: how we got from Ferguson to Trump's election: Chris Hayes will explain—his new book is “A Colony in a Nation.” Plus: Is Trump like Nixon? Is collusion with the Russians to win election sort of like Watergate? We'll ask John A. Farrell – his new book is “Richard Nixon: The Life.”
