Summary Program #782 : "Title: Communicating across cultures. The need for better understanding and cross-cultural communication between Islamic and non-Islamic cultures is an imperative of our time. This is true of both the search for civic harmony domestically and the need for closer ties internationally. The goal is not easily achieved. Even values and practices that seem similar can have significantly different meanings and history deeply influences interpretation. Dr. Lawrence Rosen explains the pitfalls and possibilities in areas as disparate as neighborhood relations and press freedom."--Track sheet.
Program #783 : "Title: Beyond the veil: women and change in the Middle East. When Egyptian women gained the right to no-fault divorce in 2001, they achieved a remarkable victory. In building the parliamentary coalition they needed, their first recourse was to respected Muslim clerics who agreed with their interpretation of traditional Islamic Law. The result of the effort was typical of the ways in which women are bringing about change throughout the Middle East. Mahnaz Afkhami and Diane Singerman analyze methods employed and challenges faced by women in a variety of Middle Eastern countries."--Track sheet.
Commentary #225 : "Title: Our end of the nuclear bargain. Nuclear weapons are still the gravest danger to the American people. Lee Hamilton argues that the U.S. must take bold action to stop nuclear proliferation, including taking a look at our own arsenal."--Track sheet.
Commentary #226 : "Title: The toughest job in Congress is giving the public what it wants. Americans often appear to be all over the map when it comes to public policy -- though in fact they share a few important beliefs. Former Congressman Lee Hamilton explains why 'The toughest job in Congress is giving the public what it wants.'"--Track sheet.
