(NASA)Ways to Change the World
In the first half of today’s show, three leading thinkers wrestle with two of the biggest issues facing the planet—nuclear weapons and global warming. Later on, Peter Gallagher looks back on his distinguished acting career. And a new Frontline documentary asks how pre-emptive searches for potential terrorists affect innocent Americans.
Are US Policies Accelerating Nuclear Proliferation?
The current issue of Foreign Policy asks 21 top thinkers to write about one way to save the world. Lt. Gen. William Odom, former National Security Agency director, tackles nuclear proliferation--arguing that US policies are making things worse--in his article "The Nuclear Option."
