Norman Cousins

Norman Cousins might just be the most important man of the Cold war that many have never heard of before. He was a pacifist who understood when war was the only way; he saw how the use of Atomic weapons would eventually lead to a kind of feeling of political paralysis among nations with access to such weapons; he believed in the power of language and used it to bring his readers into his world through The Saturday Review. Cousins' was often ridiculed for his belief that the greatest weapon the United States could use against The Soviet Union was strong relations. I admit at the beginning of this conversation that I was almost completely ignorant of just how important of a figure Norman Cousins really was to the 20th century. However, I learned a great deal from my guest's book: Norman Cousins: Peacemaker in the Atomic Age, by Dr. Allen Pietrobon.

Norman Cousins, Humanitarian, Atomic Weapons, JFK Speech on World Peace | Dr. Allen Pietrobon # 56

A History of Pandemics - Dr. Allen Pietrobon The Smithsonian Associates Art Of Living Interview Series Welcome to The Not Old Better Show,  Smithsonian Assocaites Interview Series.  I’m Paul Vogelzang and as part of our Art of Living and Science Awareness programs with  Smithsonian Assocaites, we are joined by returning guest, Dr. Allen Pietrobon.   Dr Allen Pietrobon will be appearing via Zoom at Smithsonian Associates, Wednesday March 30, but we have Dr. Pietrobon today and our subject of conversation, and the title of Dr. Pietrobon’s upcoming Smithsonian Associates presentation is ‘A History of Pandemics.”  More information is available during our interview and on the website, so stay tuned for a very informative interview. The saying goes that history repeats itself. True to form, epidemics have been a near-constant feature in human life. Up until the 1960s, recurring epidemics were simply a normal fact of daily life, always lurking in the background. Joining us today is award-winning historian Allen Pietrobon, an assistant professor of global affairs at Trinity Washington University.  We will be talking to Dr. Pietrobon about some of the lesser-known pandemics and epidemics, revealing how people throughout history dealt with such sudden disease outbreaks. We’ll learn from Dr. Pietrobon where these epidemics and pandemics originated. Whom did they most affect? What was learned in how to treat or prevent them? And how did societies evolve in the wake of deadly pandemics? Dr. Pietrobon explores the cholera epidemics that ravaged 19th-century New York City and the terrifying polio epidemic that first struck America in the 1840s and killed thousands during each generational recurrence. Please join me and Dr. Allen Pietrobon to discover how epidemics indiscriminately affected lives, killing presidents and paupers alike; and learn about the medical and technological advancements that have helped people to continue living, post-pandemic. My thanks to Dr. Allen Pietrobon for his expertise and generous time.  Dr Allen Pietrobon will be appearing via Zoom at  Smithsonian Associates, Wednesday March 30.  More information is available on the website, noted-better.com.  My thanks to the Smithsonian team for all they do to support the show.  My thanks, of course, to you, my wonderful Not Old Better Show audience…please be safe, be well, let’s remember Ukraine, and let’s remember to talk about better…the Not Old Better Show.  Thanks, everybody and I’ll see you next time.

The Great American Road Trip - Allen Pietrobon Smithsonian Associates Artist Interview Series Welcome to The Not Old Better Show. I’m Paul Vogelzang, and this is episode #460. As part of our Smithsonian Associates, Art of Living Streaming Series, our guest today is historian, academic, Dr. Allen Pietrobon. Dr. Allen Pietrobon will be presenting via Zoom at the Smithsonian Associates Streaming program, Wednesday, July 8, 2020, and the title of his presentation, and the subject of our conversation today is The Great American Road Trip. Details are available on our site about Zoom. Just in time for the summer road trip season, Dr. Allen Pietrobon, an assistant professor of global Affairs at Trinity Washington University and an award-winning historian, takes us on a literary journey that explores the nature and impact of American travel stories. Perhaps no genre of story is so typically American than the travel story narrative. From chronicles of the settlement of the West to the modern cross-country road trip, travel story narratives have infused American history and popular culture. Many of these stories are written from the perspective of travelers who found themselves to be outsiders along the way. From Mark Twain’s Life on the Mississippi to John Steinbeck's Travels With Charlie to Jack Kerouac’s On The Road, in most of these stories, the protagonist is positioned as an explorer in a new and unfamiliar landscape (whether that be Jim Crow-era Alabama or the American West) on a journey of self-discovery to encounter the “real” America. What is so compelling about travel stories? What can they teach us about American history, culture, and society?  Dr. Allen Pietrobon will answer those questions and more during our interview. Dr. Allen Pietrobon is a historian and academic. Dr. Allen Pietrobon will be presenting via Zoom at the Smithsonian Associates program, Wednesday, July 8, 2020, and the title of his presentation is The Great American Road Trip. Details are available on our site about Zoom. Thank you to the Smithsonian, for arranging today’s interview and for all they do to support the show.
