|  World Views: Stephen Kinzer 'Resets' American Foreign Policy with Iran and Turkey
July 5, 2010 MP3
On June 23, President Barack Obama summoned Gen. Stanley McChrystal to the White House after comments made in a Rolling Stone magazine profile. A week later, the U.S. Senate confirmed Gen. David Petraeus as the new top U.S. commander in Afghanistan. Zach Messitte and Joshua Landis discuss how the war in Afghanistan will change under the new leadership. And author and foreign correspondent Stephen Kinzer joins World Views by phone to talk about his new book Reset: Iran, Turkey, and America's Future. Kinzer argues that deep-seeded longing for democracy in Turkey and Iran would make them "good soul mates" for the United States.
|  OK Voices: Candidates Speak on Children's Issues
Oct. 19, 2009 MP3
Oklahoma voters have another nine months before they can cast their first ballots in the race for Governor Brad Henry's replacement. But the two Democratic candidates, Lieutenant Governor Jari Askins and Attorney General Drew Edmondson, have already faced off, presenting their views on the future health and well being of Oklahoma's children at the Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy's fall legislative forum. Republican gubernatorial candidates U.S. Rep. Mary Fallin and State Senator Randy Brogdon were also invited, but unable to attend last week's event. Alex Cameron, director of Statewide Special Content Projects for Griffin Communications and leader of the Oklahoma Impact Team, served as moderator. Special thanks to the audio/visual department at the University of Central Oklahoma for recording assistance.
