THIS WEEK:   Gore Vidal - The Fall of the United States (interview).  At the end of WWII, the U.S. emerged as a global power with unprecedented wealth and advantages. Most of that has been squandered. We’ve gone from number one creditor nation to number one debtor. The signs of decay are everywhere but Washington politicians from both parties largely avoid talking about it. Imperial fantasies and mendacities continue. Gore Vidal, over six decades, was a singular figure in the United States. He coined the phrase USA, "the United States of Amnesia." He died on July 31, 2012.
