Last week, Christine Blasey Ford, a professor at Palo Alto University, publicly accused the Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of drunkenly assaulting her when they were both teen-agers.

Jane Mayer joins Dorothy Wickenden to discuss what has and hasn’t changed since Anita Hill’s testimony, and how Senate Republicans are scrambling to contain the fallout.
