Recalling his role in the World War II sorties of the fabled
Tuskegee Airmen. General Benjamin O. Davis Jr. describes it as a
second front in the black aviators' war for dignity. In contrast to
his bold decision-making as Secretary of Defense in the 1960s,
Robert McNamara looks back on that era with regret, especially the
misguided policies he had advanced during the Vietnam War. These
are but two of the candid, deeply personal revelations in this
collection of conversations from "dialogue," a weekly radio and
television series from the Woodrow Wilson International Center for
Scholars in Washington, D.C. "dialogue" is broadcast by about 150
U.S. radio stations, the MHz WORLDVIEW channel and MHz NETWORKS,
National Public Radio Worldwide, the Armed Forces Radio Network,
and the ichannel in Canada, reaching hundreds of thousands of
listeners and viewers worldwide.
Whether the guests are celebrities like Lee Hamilton, Bill
Bradley, or Shelby Foote, or lesser-known scholars, poets,
diplomats, officials, and authors, the conversations are uniformly
gripping and thoughtful. Presented as "conversations about ideas,"
the broad range of topics is emblematic of the scope of human
endeavor in the arts, sciences, history, and culture. The
twenty-four interviews selected for The Art of Conversation are
favorites from among the 900 broadcast over the past twenty years.
Guided by host George Liston Seay, the guests consistently display,
he says, "the joy of people who take each other seriously." In
solid, plainspoken fashion they demonstrate that there is an art of
conversation and that even in this fragmented video age, it still
flourishes.
