Summary:
Marvin Kalb, author, professor and a legend in broadcasting, talks with Host Llewellyn King and Co-host Adam Clayton Powell III about the early 1960s, when he was Moscow correspondent for CBS News, and the confrontation between Nikita Khrushchev, the Soviet leader, and President John F. Kennedy. It was "a different Russia," also the title of his new book, than the Putin-era one -- in which Putin, unlike Khrushchev, regularly turns his back on the West. Kalb also talks about the peril to democracies of a dearth of foreign correspondents.
