"We are living through an all-out war on truth, facts and reason," Clinton said at the PEN America World Voices Festival, in Manhattan. Clinton, who was delivering the festival's Arthur Miller Freedom to Write Lecture, began by discussing threats to press freedom and free speech around the globe, including in Vladimir Putin's Russia. "Today we have a president who seems to reject the role of a free press in our democracy," she said of her 2016 opponent. The author said she would have preferred Clinton begin with "should have been a damned good president." Clinton spoke of the difficulty she had in finding a balance between one's personal roles and relationships and one's professional roles.
