Fidel Castro Steps Down
Larry talks with Tom Gjelten, NPR correspondent, Lisa Garcia Bedolla, Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science and Chicano/Latino Studies Program at University of California at Irvine, and Ray Walser, Senior Policy Analyst for Latin America at the Heritage Foundation about today's announcement that Fidel Castro is stepping down as the President of Cuba.
America and Islam After Iraq
In his new book, "Marching Toward Hell," veteran CIA counterterrorism officer Michael Scheuer argues that America is still unsafe from terrorists, not only because of the war in Iraq, but also because of U.S. foreign policy since the end of the Cold War. The author contends that for the past 30 years, American policymakers on both sides of the aisle have remained in Cold War thinking and as a result have failed to sufficiently address national security concerns, leaving our nation increasingly susceptible to attack. Scheuer joins Larry Mantle to explain how our foreign policy has made our enemies stronger and our country more vulnerable.
Alternative And Complementary Cancer Treatment
Larry Mantle talks with Jeffrey D. White, M.D., Director of the Office of Cancer Complementary and Alternative Medicine at the National Cancer Institute, and Barrie Cassileth, PhD, Chief of the Integrative Medicine Service at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center about the differences between alternative and complementary treatments for cancer, what clinical trials are currently taking place in this area, and what appears to be working and not working in the non traditional treatment of various cancers.
