Author and historian Doris Kearns Goodwin joined Boston Public Radio to discuss her new book "An Unfinished Love Story: A Personal History of the 1960's." Both she and her late husband Richard (Dick) Goodwin worked in the LBJ administration -- the last time U.S. campuses were filled with anti-war protests. Goodwin reflects on today's demonstrations, the 1960's and why history gives her hope for the future of the U.S.
