New Year's Day: To The Vault II

Wikimedia

Happy New Year!  January 1st is an off-day for the Exchange staff; we offer notable interviews from the past for air today.  

At 8: we spent several decades trying very hard NOT to get into a war with the Soviet Union.  Then the USSR collapsed into Russia and several other countries, and the Cold War was over.  And historian Jon Wiener explains what happened next, in his book How We Forgot The Cold War.

At 9: Get 'em while they're cold: California Glaciers.  River-lover Tim Palmer, who lives in our region, goes in search of the sources of some of our major rivers, in a state where glaciers may be on the way out.  Or at least appeared to be, before the snows of this winter.
