Billy Graham, arguably the world’s most famous evangelist, was a close confidant of eleven presidents. No man has had such unfettered access to the White House for such an extended period of time. They called him in for comfort, for advice and guidance, and he considered each one of them a close personal friend. Three of those friends, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, and George H.W. Bush, were on hand for the dedication of the Billy Graham Library, in Graham’s hometown of North Carolina, which opened shortly before Graham’s wife, Ruth, slipped into a coma and died. In the wake of all this, there comes a book: The Preacher and the Presidents: Billy Graham in the White House, co-authored by Nancy Gibbs and Michael Duffy, which examines the unique intersection of faith and politics that Billy Graham personified.

The book was featured on Friday on Good Morning America. Read the article here.

Yesterday, Good Morning America welcomed perhaps its most entertaining guest in recent memory: little Elmo! Indeed, the cookbook craze has finally wormed its way onto Sesame Street, and the result is this: C is for Cooking: Recipes from the Street, a batch of healthy, kid-friendly meals from the stars of the longest running kids show in creation. Elmo himself showed up, and with help from some GMA guy, made Elmo’s Baby Turkey Burgers.

It’s not too late to salvage your relationship with the kid! Watch the interview and check out the sample recipes, including one for something called Abby Cadabby’s Magic Golden Zucchini Coins, which I must admit I’m skeptical of.

Then again, I didn’t know Sesame Street was even still on the air…

Former Vanity Fair editor Tina Brown’s The Diana Chronicles was featured on NPR yesterday. The book is the latest of many to try and get into the head of the Princess to get “the real Diana.” To this end, Brown sifted through the extensive press coverage and interviewed friends, staff and the people closest to her, ultimately creating a portrait of the beloved Royal as a savvy, globe-trotting humanitarian — the predecessor of Bono and Angelina Jolie

The NPR interview with Brown, along with a brief excerpt of the book is available here.

Brown and her book were also featured on GMA last week, and you may read that here.

English gossip-columnist Tina Brown is the latest to try her hand at parsing the mind of perhaps the most beloved member of the royal family. She interviewed the people that knew the late Princess Di best, analyzed old press notes and managed to create one of the most thorough portraits of her we have seen in recent years.

Brown’s book, The Diana Chronicles, garnered a small article on Good Morning America, along with an excerpt , which you may read here.

On a plane ride back from Russia in 1988, former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson leaned over to Robin Givens, his wife of less than a year, and informed her quite calmly, “I’m going to kill you and get away with it.” She was pregnant with their first child.

Not long before, Givens had spoken with Barbara Walters and for the first time admitted, publicly and perhaps to herself as well, that yes, Tyson did hit her and yes, she was scared. Now, nearly two decades later, Givens has published a memoir entitled Grace Will Lead Me Home, in which she writes about her relationship with Tyson, the now-famous interview and the decision to get out while she could.

In an interview with Good Morning America, Givens discusses the cycles of domestic violence that have plagued her family for generations, which she believes predisposed her to the situation with Tyson. She also states that, were it not for the love and support she found with her family, she never would have had the strength to do what she did. Grace, she tells the GMA talking head, was her grandmother’s name.
