CUTTING THE PENTAGONS BUDGET IS A GIFT TO OUR ENEMIES Political gridlock in Washington triggered across-the-board spending cuts, known as the sequester, in March. As a result, the Pentagon was given six months to eliminate $41 billion from the current years budget, and unlike past cuts, this time everything is on the table. In 2011, America spent $711 billion dollars on its defense-more than the next 13 highest spending countries combined. But the burdens it shoulders, both at home and abroad, are unprecedented. Could the sequester be a rare opportunity to overhaul the armed forces, or will its impact damage military readiness and endanger national security? _Presented in Partnership with The McCain Institute for International Leadership_ Date: Wed, 19 Jun 2013 14:30:00 -0700 Location: Washington, D.C., Ronald Reagan Building Amphitheater, Intelligence Squared U.S. Debates Program and discussion: http://fora.tv/2013/06/19/Cutting_the_Pentagons_Budget_is_a_Gift_To_Our_Enemies

WILLIAM AYLIFFE: VISION AND THE ARTIST Visual disorders affect the way we see, and therefore would be expected to influence how we depict the world in drawings and paintings. This fascinating subject is explored using images created by artists with known defects. We examine how possible defects in the vision of artists for whom we have little information about their eyesight, might explain how they produced their individual style. How the physiology of vision is deliberately used by artists to create stunning visual effects, and how ancient artists achieved similar results by deduction will be explored.

SLAVERY AND AMERICAS REVOLUTIONARY LEADERS The relationship of the leaders of the American Revolution to slavery is the subject of this interview. Questions are posed on why we need to understand the role of slavery in the nations beginning, of how the Revolutions leaders founded a nation on liberty while maintaining slavery. There is discussion of how individual figures such as Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Hamilton, Franklin, and others dealt with the issue of slavery. The last question discusses the way that the campaign against and end of slavery created the opportunity for others later in American history to claim their rights.

THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR: A JOLT TO SLAVERY, BUT NOT ENOUGH This interview focuses on the ways that the Revolutionary War made an impact on American slavery. Issues such as Dunmores Proclamation offering freedom to slaves for service to the King and John Laurens proposal to enlist and arm 3,000 slaves for the American cause are discussed. Additional topics include: the service of free blacks and slaves in the Continental Army; the disruption of slavery caused by the War; and the effect of that disruption on the institution of slavery. How the Congress of the Confederation and the Constitutional Convention of 1787 dealt with slavery close the discussion.

FROM THE REVOLUTION TO THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT A thread of continuity connects the American Revolution and the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s. It is the world shaking proclamation opening the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence-"that all men are created equal" and have an undeniable right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." It became the centerpiece of African American political beliefs for the next two centuries-not the way it was applied by the Founders, tolerating slavery, but in its full, universal application. Its spirit was invoked by Frederick Douglass and by Abraham Lincoln in the Gettysburg Address and was manifested in the Reconstruction Amendments to the Constitution, especially the 14th. Black protest organizations in the twentieth century cited it as the basis of their attacks on segregation and racial discrimination. Most famously, and convincingly, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., in his "I Have a Dream" speech at the March on Washington in 1963, tied the Declaration, the promise of natural rights from the days of the Revolution, to the demand for the full rights of all Americans.

THE REVOLUTION AND SLAVERY: A WATERSHED MOMENT This talk gives an overview of slavery at the time of the American Revolution and explains how the revolutionary era was an important point-a watershed moment-in the history of American slavery. It notes that slavery existed in all the colonies at the time of the Revolution but there were great differences between the colonies in the concentration of slave population. The origins of slavery, how it developed on a racial basis, and the reasons for the differences between the colonies come in for discussion. A distinctive African American culture developed as a means of protecting the identity and dignity of those who were enslaved. Finally, it notes that the natural rights argument for the Revolution brought the first deep questioning of slavery and began its eradication in the seven northern states. The division over slavery between North and South was starting.

WHALES: UP CLOSE & PERSONAL Conservation photographer Bryant Austin is the only photographer in the world producing high-resolution, life-size photography of whales. A chance encounter with a humpback calf and its mother helped Austin develop a technique to create detailed, intimate portraits of his subjects. Spending days at a time submerged with groups of whales, he remains motionless, allowing humpback, sperm, and minke whales that are sometimes forty-five feet in length and weigh as much as fifty tons to come within six feet. In this presentation, Austin will describe his fearless process and reveal images from his breathtaking new book, Beautiful Whale, which will be published in April 2013 by Abrams. Hear the story behind these impactful images that inspire people to take the future of whales-endangered throughout the oceans-into their hearts.

KHALED HOSSEINI, IN CONVERSATION WITH ANDREA MITCHELL From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns comes And the Mountains Echoed, a new novel about how we love, how we take care of one another, and how the choices we make resonate through generations. In this tale revolving around not just parents and children but brothers and sisters, cousins and caretakers, Hosseini explores the many ways in which families nurture, wound, betray, honor, and sacrifice for one another; and how often we are surprised by the actions of those closest to us, at the times that matter most. Following its characters and the ramifications of their lives and choices and loves around the globe-from Kabul to Paris to San Francisco to the Greek island of Tinos-the story expands gradually outward, becoming more emotionally complex and powerful with each turning page.
