Thomas Barnett, a professor and senior military analyst for the U.S. Naval War College, knows the workings of the Pentagon and State Department, and he’s here to explain how he thinks the U.S. should deal with increasing security threats. He believes that Americans have a responsibility to create a better world, and that globalization is the best way to achieve that. Then filmmakers Tareque and Catherine Masud talk about their new film, "The Clay Bird". It’s set in 1960s East Pakistan, in the years leading up to Bangladesh’s independence from Pakistan. And a discussion with soprano Dawn Upshaw on being the first vocal artist to be featured in a Carnegie Hall "Perspectives" Series.
