Should America Be Bilingual?This show starts with the narrow question of how bilingual education is supposed to work and how it in fact works; but it very quickly broadens and deepens into an exploration of what holds the American society together--and whether it deserves to be held together. - Psychiatry and the LawE43
Psychiatry and the LawIn 1970 the wife and daughters of Dr. Jeffrey MacDonald--a Green Beret stationed at Fort Bragg--were killed. The chain of evidence eventually led to MacDonald himself, and despite testimony at the pre-trial hearings by Drs. Sadoff and Halleck to the effect that it was all but inconceivable that he was the murderer, he was tried and convicted.
