Julian Zelizer is a professor of history and public affairs at Princeton University, and author, with Kevin Kruse, of the new book"Fault Lines: A History of the United States Since 1974." Michael Zeldin, a CNN legal analyst, served as Deputy Independent Counsel, and later as Independent Counsel, in the investigation into allegations that the administration of George H. W. Bush violated the privacy rights of candidate Bill Clinton in the 1992 presidential campaign.
