Summary Program #538 : Title: Cocaine: from miracle to menace "Cocaine is a major target of the ongoing war on drugs. In the 20th century the substance has been considered a social menace and a threat to society. The international criminal trade in the drug has continued despite efforts at worldwide prohibition led by the United States. Cocaine's history is mixed. In the 19th century cocaine was a fashionable stimulant. Paul Gootenberg describes the extra-ordinary transformation of this much-condemned narcotic."--Track sheet.
Program #539 : Title: Our twentieth century "Writing in the middle of the 19th century Alexis de Toqueville described the emphasis on individualism that marked American Society. That theme is used by Martin Walker to construct a narrative history of the 20th century based on the lives of 26 individuals. His selections and accounts portray a nation that achieved global success in exporting its culture or 'soft power' and building its economic and military 'hard power' as well."--Track sheet
