From the White House to the Teenage House: Liz Carpenter’s Unplanned Parenthood

When her brother died in 1993, his three unruly teenagers came to live with Liz Carpenter, retired after a storied career that included serving as Lady Bird Johnson's press secretary.

And just like that, she found herself, at age 73, a mother once again.

In this 1994 interview Carpenter describes the unique challenges she faced. But she also had some wise and insightful thoughts about those GenX people she was raising, and their peers.
