The Americans
The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
Today we revisit the Cold War. First, with Pulitzer Prize-winning author Neil Sheehan, who tells the story of the nuclear arms race through the work of one Air Force officer. Then Nicholas Thompson discusses two of the most influential U.S. Cold War strategists: Paul Nitze and George Kennan. Joyce Carol Oates talks about her latest novel Little Bird of Heaven. And Robert Frank, one of the greatest photographers of the 20th century, and curator Jeff Rosenheim talk about a new exhibition of his groundbreaking work, The Americans, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
