Panel discussion at Center for American Progress (April 26, 2006)

MS. ISABEL SAWHILL: Thank you. I also want to thank the Center for the opportunity to be here. This topic is a very long and deep interest of mine. I wrote a book on it in 1998, which got zero attention, which just shows you that journalists have more power than you think because in my view it wasn’t until the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post took up this issue that it began to be given the attention to which it deserves.
