Arguing the World (DVD)

The story of four brilliant men caught up in the political struggle of the Cold War. Since they were young radicals in the 30's, Irving Howe, Daniel Bell, Nathan Glazer, and Irving Kristol have been fighting for their ideas. Starting with their days in New York's immigrant neighborhoods, following them through their college days, the McCarthy era, the Leftist rise of the 60's, and on to the present, we trace the paths of these brilliant minds through the social and political changes of the century in a film called "Superb!" by New York Magazine. (Motion Picture, 1997)

"...A lively, incisive account of four America's leading thinkers of the 20th century..." -- Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
