 EDITOR'S NOTE
Our program year is drawing to a close, so it's a good opportunity for us to dip into our vast archive of previously unaired audiotapes. Over the next two months we will be releasing a series of classic talks, which you can listen to both on our website and as podcasts.
Speakers will include Andrew Bacevich on American militarism; Graham Allison on nuclear terrorism; Alvaro Vargas Llosa on Latin America; and many more of this caliber. Enjoy the summer!
