Larry Jacobs, professor of political science at the University of Minnesota, leads a fascinating conversation with Walter Mondale, former vice president of the United States under the Carter Administration, and Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh, on the ResearchChannel. They touch on controversial topics in American history, from the relationship between Nixon and Kissinger, to first amendment rights and public disclosure in the context of national security issues. Their discussion regarding the American Constitution and the rights of the American people is all the more relevant today, considering the recent supreme court decision to grant corporations the right to spend unlimited amounts in election campaigns on their preferred candidates.
