“Every journalist has a novel inside, which is an excellent place for it. ” Russell Lynes' famous quote finds a tough challenger in Jim Lehrer. With more than half a century in journalism and 21 novels under his belt, he's mastered both trades. Lehrer joins Think host Krys Boyd our talk studio at noon. 

Read an excerpt via Diane Rehm from Lehrer's new novel about the Kennedy assassination, which he covered for the Dallas Times Herald
