Billy Graham and the Presidents

Charles Gibson will be anchoring a Special Edition of “20/20″ this Friday evening (Aug. 10) entitled “Pastor to Power: Billy Graham and the Presidents.” Gibson will explore the connection between Graham and 11 (consecutive? – yes, I should know!) U.S. presidential administrations between Harry Truman and George W. Bush. The program airs at 10 p.m., EDT, and has been timed to coincide with the release of The Preacher and the Presidents: Billy Graham in the White House by Nancy Gibbs and Michael Duffy of Time magazine.
It will be particularly interesting to see how Gibbs and Duffy portray evangelicals. (You may recall that Gibbs penned an articulate, balanced story on crisis pregnancy centers earlier this year.)
