The Yom Kippur War lasted only 19 days, but it had a major effect on international relations in the Middle East. Professor Avri Ravid and Middle East scholar Michael Oren discuss the outbreak of the conflict (thirty years ago this week) and how it’s affected the region since then. Then Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jack Casady discusses his new solo album, “Dream Factor.” Curator Brian Wallis talks about the first-ever triennial at the International Center of Photography. And Don Novello shares his latest Laszlo Toth letters in From Bush to Bush.
