Stop What You're Doing, Watch Boyko-Cohen Interview
By Deena Stryker
No other tv personality has the knowledge and standing to spar with America's foremost expert on Russia, Princeton Professor Stephen Cohen, of RTs Oxana Boyko. Whatching them is almost like being a fly on the wall during international negotiations - whose real participants should only be so earnest!
::::::::
I have often praised RT's Oxana Boyko for her incisive, in-depth political interviews, but today, as Europe flirts with a Grexit while attacking Russia in the courts, her interview with Princeton Professor Stephen Cohen, America's foremost Russian expert, should supercede all other intellectual priorities.[tag]
Born in Phila, I spent most of my adolescent and adult years in
Europe, resulting over time in several unique books, my latest being Russia's Americans.
CUBA: Diary of a
Revolution, Inside the Cuban Revolution with Fidel, Raul, Che, and Celia
Sanchez
America Revealed to a
Honey-Colored World
A Taoist Politics: The
Case For Sacredness
I began my journalistic career at the French News Agency in Rome,
spent two years in Cuba finding out whether the Barbados were Communists before
they made the revolution ('Cuba 1964: When the Revolution was Young'). After
spending half a decade in Eastern Europe, and a decade in the U.S., studying
Global Survival and writing speeches in the Carter State Department, I wrote
the only book that foresaw the fall of the Berlin Wall AND the dissolution of
the Soviet Union ("Une autre Europe, un autre Monde'). My memoir, 'Lunch
with Fellini, Dinner with Fidel', tells it all. 'A Taoist Politics: The Case
for Sacredness', which examines the similarities between ancient wisdom and
modern science and what this implies for political activism; and 'America Revealed
to a Honey-Colored World" is a pamphlet about how the U.S. came down from
the City on a Hill'.
