Talk Nation Radio Special: Mark Benjamin of Salon Magazine

Thursday, March 29 at 12:00 Noon: Talk Nation Radio Special: Mark Benjamin of Salon Magazine on the Psychological Torturers - Will Congress Hold them Accountable? Mark Benjamin, National Correspondent for Salon.com discusses the split between the Bush administration and members of the US Military over torture, focusing on his explosive reports about the APA, the American Psychological Association. In his July 26, 2006 story, "Psychological Warfare," Benjamin wrote that the 150,000-member American Psychological Association is facing an internal revolt over its year-old policy that condones the participation of psychologists in the interrogations of prisoners during the Bush administration' s "war on terror." Mark Benjamin looks at current events such as the Military Commission hearing for David Hicks that took place March 26th and discusses the concept of accountability.

El Capitan and the Corporal

4:00 p.m. - El Capitan and the Corporal We continue a series of broadcasts of classic radio plays by the legendary Norman Corwin with “El Capitan and the Corporal”, a romance, a travel story, and a wartime memory. So many people traveled by train during World War II that train-travel recollections are a universal common denominator in our living memory of those years. Romance, sudden and unexpected, springs up between a young Army corporal and a woman he meets by chance on a cross-country trip. Corwin beautifully paints a fine, honest story of the human heart, against the strains and hopes and fears of that era. Norman Corwin is regarded as the Grand Master of American radio drama. In the 1940s he was one of the best-known personalities in America. His brilliant programs drew radio audiences of as many as sixty million people. Many of them were written, cast, rehearsed, produced, and performed live within a single week’s time. They often featured performances by some of the greatest stars of the era.
