CCNS’ Roger Aronoff, interviewed the legendary New York Times reporter and playwright Bernard Weinraub. They discuss the new Ken Burns PBS documentary, “The U.S. and the Holocaust.” Weinraub wrote a play about 15 years ago called “The Accomplices,” which addresses some of the same issues covered in the Burns documentary. 

Bernard Weinraub began working at The New York Times as a copyboy. He rose through the ranks to work as a foreign correspondent in Vietnam, in Belfast, in New Delhi, and London. He was a Pentagon reporter, a political writer, and a White House correspondent during the final years of the Reagan administration and the first year of Bush 41. He left Washington and became The New York Times’ Hollywood correspondent in 1991, and after his 1997 marriage to Columbia Pictures President Amy Pascal, Weinraub was given the new title of “Senior West Coast Cultural Correspondent.”

This week’s episode of The National Security Alert is a remembrance and recap of our four-year investigation as the the Citizens Commission on Benghazi. My guests today were Clare Lopez (former CIA officer) and Tom McInerney (retired Air Force General who led the 1986 air attack into Libya).

In this episode of The National Security Alert, Roger Aronoff interviewed longtime journalist Claudia Rosett about some of the major topics of the day, including the death of Gorbachev, the one-year anniversary of the withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Russia-Ukraine war, threats posed by China, and the possible return to the JCPOA with Iran. Rosett worked many years for the Wall Street Journal, as Moscow bureau chief, a member of the editorial board, Editor of the editorial page of the Asian WSJ, as well as covering China, the UN, and North Korea. She spent about a dozen years as journalist-in-residence and is now with the Independent Women’s Forum.
