The news has been filled with apologies: former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer on his involvement with a prostitute, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama for statements made by supporters, and, amidst this week’s 40th anniversary of the death of Martin Luther King, John McCain’s mea culpa for originally opposing a national holiday for the civil rights leader. We talk with the author of a new book exploring the complexity, diversity and execution of the simple apology.
