History as the Inspiration for Primetime.

Journalist and Associate Professor at Hampshire College Michael Klare. He directs the Five-College Program in Peace and World Security Studies. He talks to Terry about Bush's recent call for cutting back of our nuclear arsenal in eastern Europe. Klare says, though, it isn't a sign of disarmament, it's the beginning of a re-armament to fight the wars of the post cold-war era. His 1990 article, "Who's Arming Who?" warned of the growing global violence deriving from the arms trade.

Book critic John Leonard reviews Norman Mailer's new novel, "Harlot's Ghost."

We check in again with journalist Robert Cullen. He's the former Moscow correspondent Newsweek, and he writes regularly on Eastern Europe for "The Atlantic," and the "New Yorker." CULLEN will talk with Terry about his recent trip to Moscow after the coup and he'll update us on the state of the Soviet military. His new book is "Twilight of Empire: Inside the Crumbling Soviet Bloc."
