JUDY WOODRUFF (Newshour): Now, as this divisive and closely fought presidential election sprints to a close, a new book argues the country needs a revived progressive vision. The book is "Handmaking America: A Back-to-Basics Pathway to a Revitalized American Democracy."

The author is Bill Ivey, former chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts in the Clinton administration. He's now director of Vanderbilt University's U.S.-China-Center for Education and Culture.
