Serbian student activist Srdja Popovic and writer and retired New York City firefighter Dennis Smith on this edition of Fresh Air. Srdja Popovic is one of the founders of the student nonviolent group which helped bring down Serbian dictator Slobodan Milosevic. The group known as Otpor (the Serbian word for "resistance") had a clenched fist as their symbol, but they used humor and theatre to ridicule Milosevic and other government officials. The new PBS documentary Bringing Down a Dictator (scheduled for March 31) tells their story. Popovic is now a member of Parliament. Writer and retired New York City firefighter Dennis Smith arrived at the site of the World Trade Center on the day of the attacks to volunteer with the rescue effort. His new book, Report from Ground Zero, is made up of first-person testimony of rescuers who were there when the towers were attacked and fell, and who helped in rescue and recovery efforts. Smith spent 18 years with the fire department. He is the author of nine books, including the best seller Report from Engine Co. 82 about his years in the city's most dangerous and active firehouse. (Broadcast Date: March 20, 2002)
