Strategy and Ambiguity

Thursday, March 09, 2006

Today, an Israeli journalist explains how his country became the first (and so far, the only) nuclear power in the Middle East. And on today's Underreported, we'll get an update on Uganda. Later on, singer Gloria Lynne celebrates her native Harlem. And a former writer from the hit TV show "Frasier" describes his return to novels.


Underreported: Update on Uganda

James Otto of Human Rights Focus gives us an update on Uganda—from its human rights record, to its recent elections and current energy crisis—on this week’s Underreported.

See clips of the new WITNESS video "Between Two Fires: Torture and Displacement in Northern Uganda."


Harlem Is

Contralto Gloria Lynne pays tribute to the music of her native Harlem as part of the “Harlem Is…” festival, a living-history program celebrating and documenting Harlem’s cultural importance.

Event: “Harlem is…Music” is showing at the Lincoln Center Library for the Performing Arts until April 13.


My Lucky Star

Joe Keenan, a former writer and producer for “Fraiser,” describes his return to novels. His new book, My Lucky Star, is a madcap look at the private intrigues of a glamorous Hollywood family.


The Bomb in the Basement

Israel is the first (and so far, the only) nuclear power in the Middle East. In The Bomb in the Basement, Israeli journalist Michael Karpin explains when and how his country went nuclear…and how it kept its atomic program a secret.

Doors open at 6:30pm
The American Jewish Committee
165 East 65th Street, at 3rd Avenue
