Warren Harding’s presidency

The World

President Warren Harding isn’t our best known president; in fact at times he’s been known as our worst president. But various writers have begun to restore his reputation by digging into the primary sources of the time. James David Robenalt is one of them. He recently got his hands on a trove of love letters between Harding and his longtime mistress Carrie Phillips. Marco Werman speaks with author James David Robenalt.
