The late activist-essayist-novelist-historian Gore Vidal reads "An Open Letter To the Next President." I hope Elizabeth and Bernie are listening, for Vidal's "letter" is as timely now as it was when he spoke--shortly before the election of 2000.
Vidal urges dismantling the out-of-control Pentagon and the National Security State, and he denounces Congress for serving the corporations rather than the citizens. Plus: a clip from the movie "Bob Roberts" and music by Bruce Cockburn.
New World Notes is produced under the auspices (Latin for "false promises") of WWUH-FM, a community service of that beacon of light in darkest Connecticut, the University of Hartford.
