Early this week, I conducted my interview with Northwestern professor, Johnathon Caverly. He had a lot of interesting points to make, and the interview suprised me a bit. Despite being fairly awkard, I learned quite a lot. I expected him to agree with most of my points, but instead he provided a good part of my Adress the Other Side part. He didn't completely deny my claims, but he took sort of a middle ground on most of the questions, where he leveled with me, but provided a very sophisticated view as well. For example, he didn't agree that the cold war directly led to high military spenidng today, but he did say that a document I'm examing, called NSC 68 represented the philosophy that the United States shouldn't put up with communism. It was very enlightening, and valuable to have someone scholarly who offered opposing views.
