National Politics Video: Booknotes+ Podcast: Aram Saroyan, author of "Last Rites," on His Father William Saroyan
In the history of Pulitzer Prizes and the Oscars, very few winners have turned down these awards. One of those who did was a famous Armenian-American, a writer from the 1930s, 40s, and 50s. His name was William Saroyan. He turned down the Pulitzer for the drama called "The Time of Your Life" in 1940. Saroyan said he was opposed in principle to awards in the arts and was quoted as saying "such arts awards vitiate and embarrass art at its very source." His son Aram, a well-known poet in his own right, has written a lot about his father and his relationship with him. We asked him to talk about his book "Last Rights: The Death of William Saroyan."

When is it time to call a recession -- a recession?
Sometimes it's not just about the hard data ... For a president, it could be a rhetorical and messaging challenge, as well.
It is for President Joe Biden in 2022 ... and it was for President George W. Bush in 2008.
President Bush began 2008 in his State of the Union address by describing "a period of uncertainty."
As the year went on, "period of uncertainty" became "slowdown" ..."downturn" ..."rough patch" ..."tough times" ... even "danger."
When did he finally use the "R word" -- recession?
