about this series
First Broadcast in May, 1956, The Open Mind is still produced weekly by Richard D. Heffner, host, historian, and University Professor of Communications and Public Policy at Rutgers University. These conversations with some of the most creative thinkers of the last half-century are a primary resource available to students, teachers, researchers, archivists, librarians, historians, journalists and all who are interested in history, biography, media, communications, news, and public affairs.Here are the candid, often surprising and provocative, and always revelatory voices of the men and women who have dissected national politics, clarified the law, molded the media, shaped race relations, set the agenda for women's rights, explored medicine, and chronicled or created the American scene and pop culture. Here, too, is Mr. Heffner's own cogent perspective on the events and people that defined America over the past fifty years. The Open Mind has recorded the intellectual passage of a nation through a half-century of hopes and disappointments, of revolutions in thought and fashion, of constitutional challenges, recession, war and the ongoing battle for freedom and justice.
