Listening to America: The Plight of a Secular Society

By Bruce Ledewitz

Clay Jenkinson is a national treasure. He thinks deeply and generously about the state of our nation. For those old enough, he is a worthy successor to Charles Kuralt, whose On the Road features were an important part of the golden age of TV news.
