SUMMARY:1979: The Turning Point of the Cold War
DESCRIPTION:President Carter had a visceral dislike of the CIA and its use of covert missions. However\, he overcame his initial perception when he saw an opportunity to use the CIA and its covert action as a means to increase the pressure on the political and social systems of the Soviet Union. Using the tenets of the Helsinki Accords as a means to advance the cause of human rights and civil liberties\, Carter used the CIA as a critical tool to support the Solidarity Movement in Poland\, as well as the Mujahideen in Afghanistan. Though credit for these efforts tends to fall to the presidency of Ronald Reagan\, it was\, in fact\, President Carter\, who saw this unique opportunity to pressure the Soviet Union on its human rights record. Carter’s efforts represent a critical turning point in the last decade of the Cold War. \nThis program will be live-streamed to the institute’s YouTube channel and its website\, www.doleinstitute.org. Due to continuing concerns regarding the novel coronavirus pandemic\, the program will only be available online. Follow the Dole Institute on Facebook\, Instagram\, or Twitter for updates regarding this and future programming. \nDr. Sean N. Kalic\nKalic\, a Professor in the Department of Military History at the US Army’s Command and General Staff College in Fort Leavenworth\, Kansas\, where he has taught since 2004\, is a Cold War scholar\, who has written on the militarization of space\, the global war on terrorism\, US space policy\, Cold War espionage\, and the Russian Revolution.

SUMMARY:Marines Return to Vietnam
DESCRIPTION:In 1967\, John Musgrave was wounded in Vietnam. More than fifty years later\, he\, along with fellow marine John Solbach\, journalist Lindsey Foat\, and historian Bill Tuttle\, returned to the Southeast Asian country. In this program\, the four guests will discuss this experience and what it was like to return while sharing images from the trip captured by Musgrave’s son\, Daniel. \nLindsey Foat spent ten years working as a reporter\, producer\, and community engagement expert at Kansas City PBS. She led the station’s content and engagement efforts focused on veterans\, including award-winning\, local documentary\, and innovative engagement initiatives for Ken Burns and Lynn Novick’s The Vietnam War. Through that work\, she was lucky to work with and befriend John Musgrave and joined him on his return trip to Vietnam. Currently\, Lindsey is the Content and Communications Director at the Rabbit hole\, which is an immersive museum for children’s literature. \nDan Musgrave is a writer and photographer with a particular interest in the intersections of the human and animal world.

After returning to the states\, John studied at Baker University in Baldwin City\, KS\, where he struggled with PTSD and suicidal tendencies. Eventually\, he joined Vietnam Veterans Against the War\, participating in protests in Washington\, DC\, and elsewhere around the country. After years of struggle\, depression\, and heart-searching\, he learned to cope with his PTSD\, though as with most veterans\, that would remain a lifelong process. He has worked extensively with other veterans in suicide-prevention programs such as the National Veteran’s Wellness and Healing Center\, and the U.S. Army’s Worldwide Stand-Down for Suicide Awareness. In recent years he has been particularly focused on post-9/11 vets. \nJohn Solbach is a Lawrence attorney who served in Vietnam with the 3rd Battalion 3rd Marines Lima Company in 1967 and 1968.

SUMMARY:2020 FALL | Politics\, Pandemic and Protests
DESCRIPTION:Unpacking the 2020 general election with the Dole Institute’s fall fellow\, Collen McCain Nelson\, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and Vice-President of the Kansas City Star. \nDole Fellow Colleen McCain Nelson\nRead more about Dole Fellows >> \nThe Dole Discussion Groups are made possible by a grant from Newman’s Own. \n  \n  \nElection 2020: The State of the Race\n9/23/2020 \n \nAs the 2020 presidential campaign enters the final sprint to the finish\, we’ll kick off this fall discussion series by assessing the state of the race after a tumultuous and unpredictable spring and summer. Which states are likely to decide this election? What issues and messages are resonating with voters? This will be a broad overview of the political landscape and a prelude to future Dole Institute events\, touching on campaign strategy\, fundraising\, and the state of play in the battle for control of Congress. \nAllan J. Katz served as Ambassador of the United States of America to the Republic of Portugal from March 2010 until August 2013. Upon returning to private life\, Ambassador Katz joined the University of Missouri in Kansas City (UMKC) as a Distinguished Professor where he served from 2013 until 2019. In 2019\, he joined the faculty of William Jewell College as Distinguished Professor in Residence. Additionally\, in 2014\, he founded and remains CEO and Chairman of an NGO\, American Public Square\, which brings together non-like-minded people to engage in civil\, fact-based dialogue about polarizing issues. He serves as Executive Committee Chair of the Academic and Corporate Board to ISCTE Business School in Lisbon\, Portugal. Additionally\, he serves as a non-executive Board Member of EDP Renewables (global energy company\, a leader in the utilities sector and part of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index)\, a board member of the Harry S. Truman Good Neighbor Foundation\, and a former board member of the International Relations Council of Kansas City. \nKevin Yoder is a 5th generation Kansan who represented the 3rd District of Kansas for four terms from 2011-2019. During his entire tenure in Congress\, Kevin served on the House Appropriations Committee\, where he chaired both the Homeland Security and the Legislative Branch Subcommittees. He regularly crossed the aisle working with members of both parties to push for key initiatives\, including historic expansion of medical research funding at the National Institutes of Health and new investments in early childhood education programs like Head-start. Prior to serving in Congress\, Kevin was elected four times to the Kansas State Legislature representing Overland Park and Leawood\, and he served as Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. Kevin is a graduate of the University of Kansas. \n  \nWhy did everyone underestimate Joe Biden?\n9/30/2020 \n \nEven though Joe Biden entered the 2020 Democratic presidential primary as the front-runner\, many political pundits and journalists lost confidence in the former vice president along the way\, writing his political obituary and declaring him an also-ran who had missed his moment. How did they get this race so wrong? And at a moment when it appeared that Sen. Bernie Sanders was gaining steam and possibly emerging as an unstoppable force\, how did Biden quickly change the narrative and begin to unify the party? \nEdward-Isaac Dovere is a staff writer for The Atlantic\, where he covers the presidential campaign. He got his start covering politics in his native New York and was the senior White House reporter for POLITICO in Barack Obama’s second term. He is currently working on a book about Democrats in the Trump years\, tentatively titled\, “You Are Right to Be Concerned\,” out spring 2021. \nPeter Nicholas is a White House reporter for The Atlantic. He has also worked at the Wall Street Journal\, the Los Angeles Times\, the Philadelphia Inquirer\, and the Times-Picayune newspaper. \n  \nHow the Coronavirus Has Upended the 2020 Campaign\n10/7/2020 \n \nWith relatively little warning\, the coronavirus pandemic brought the 2020 presidential campaign to a virtual halt\, cancelling candidates’ rallies for months\, throwing the conventions into limbo\, shutting down in-person fundraisers and making gladhanding and personal appeals to voters an impossibility. For a time\, President Donald Trump was confined to the White House\, and Democratic nominee Joe Biden was forced to campaign from his basement in Delaware. How did the campaigns adapt? And how is COVID-19 still altering the dynamics of the race? \n  \nIt’s the Economy\, Stupid\n10/14/2020 \n \nConventional wisdom has long suggested that presidents win reelection when the economy is strong and lose when the economy is faltering. Will that hold true in the 2020 election? For three years\, President Donald Trump could lay claim to a thriving economy\, low unemployment and a strong stock market. But the bottom fell out when the coronavirus took hold in this country\, spurring Depression-era unemployment and gutting entire industries. Will voters hold Trump responsible for the economic fallout from a pandemic? \n  \nA War of Disinformation\n10/21/2020 \n \nWhat role is disinformation playing in the 2020 presidential campaign? In 2016\, many were shocked — shocked! — to learn that completely false “news” stories about the election were shared far and wide on social media. Four years later\, little has been done to slow the spread of disinformation on a variety of online platforms. Foreign governments have made no secret of their intent to meddle in our elections. And the president himself has had a tenuous relationship with the truth\, elevating conspiracy theories and repeating falsehoods. What can voters do to separate fact from fiction? \n  \nDo Endorsements Matter?\n10/28/2020 \n \nTime was\, newspaper endorsements were a consequential boost for campaigns. But in an era of multiplying media outlets and declining newspaper subscriptions\, do endorsements still carry the same weight? In 2016\, Donald Trump earned the endorsements of only 20 daily newspapers in the entire country\, but he won the White House. We’ll convene opinion journalists to explore what role editorial boards are playing in the 2020 election and consider the question of whether traditional candidate endorsements have outlived their usefulness. \n  \nElection 2020: Lessons Learned\n11/18/2020 \n \nWith the 2020 election now in the rearview mirror\, we’ll do a deep dive into the deciding factors in this year’s presidential campaign. Did polls\, journalists\, and political prognosticators get it right this time? What surprised us on Election Day? Were the mistakes of 2016 repeated in 2020? We’ll wrap up this election season with an assessment of lessons learned from the 2020 campaign and a look ahead to what awaits the next president and Congress.
