U.S. Senate candidates Tina Smith and Jason Lewis debate

David Halberstam is one of America's finest journalists and one of America's most widely read authors.  He has written 19 books, 14 of which have been New York Times' best sellers.  In the 1960's, when he was just 30 years old, he won a Pulitizer Prize for his coverage of the Vietnam War, and his subsequent book about the men who took us into that war, "The Best and Brightest," has been widely hailed as one of the best books of its kind.  His most recent book is "The Teammates."  We hear him in discussion at a recent Pen Pals Lecture Series, sponsered by the Library Foundation of Hennepin County.
