Kristof and WuDunn on Challenges in Rural America

New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, and writer and former Pulitzer-winning New York Times reporter Sheryl WuDunn, spouses and co-authors of Tightrope: Tightrope: Americans Reaching for Hope  (Knopf, January 14, 2020), share what they came to understand about how and why so many of the people Nicholas grew up with in his childhood home of Yamhill, Oregon are navigating the high-wire act of life plagued by addiction, obesity and suicide and how the government has failed the American working class over the past half-century.
