September 11, 2001: Expert Analysis, Part 1

With Daniel Pipes, Donald Kagan, more

Added 5.7.18. In these broadcast excerpts dating from shortly after the terrorist strike on the World Trade Center in New York, Milt speaks with two expert panels. The first is made up of Daniel Pipes of the Middle East Forum, plus three University of Chicago political scientists: Charles Lipson, John Mearshimer, and Robert Pape. Their conversation centers in part on the appropriate response to the attack, and the efficacy of U.S. and allied military force as a deterrent to future radical Islamic terrorism. The second group is historians Donald Kagan of Yale and Frederick Kagan of The U.S. Military Academy. This conversation includes analysis of the dangers of action versus the dangers of inaction.

FDR’s Grandson Remembers

With Curtis Roosevelt Dall, Jean-Paul Senninger, Candice Allen-Olsen, Lynn Rothwell

Added 5.3.18. Milt in 2009 interviews FDR’s eldest grandson Curtis Roosevelt Dall, who authored the book, “Too Close To The Sun: Growing Up In The Shadow Of My Grandparents Franklin and Eleanor.” They talk about Curtis’ take on growing up in the White House as one of the “First Grandchildren” during The Depression and World War II, and about his later years including his role in a feature-length documentary film, “Charlotte: A Royal At War.” To discuss that film about the ties forged – under Nazi-induced duress – between the Grand Duchess of Luxembourg and President Roosevelt, Milt and Curtis Roosevelt are joined by three other guests. They are the then-Luxembourg ambassador to the U.S. and Canada, Jean-Paul Senninger, and the two co-producers of the film, Candice Allen-Olson and Lynn Rothwell.
