 Stealth Bombers
Thursday, April 15, 1999
Bartos Theater
A recent cable television
documentary described the
development of the $2 billion B-2 bomber (and other stealth planes)
now being used in the Balkans. Was the program adequate? What information
does the American public get about such high tech weapons--or about
scientific and technological information more generally? Must television
always simplify complex information? Robert Zalisk, the writer and
co-producer of the program, will screen his documentary and raise some
disturbing questions about how his work was edited and "framed" by the cable
channel that telecast it.
