592: Taser Taser Taser!
Operation Paperclip, Nazi Scientists, and Baseball Militarism
Author Annie Jacobson discusses her book "Operation Paperclip," which details the secret U.S. program that brought 1,600 Nazi scientists to America after WWII. The hosts link this historical militarization to modern trends, such as the replacement of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" with "America the Beautiful" during the seventh-inning stretch at baseball games.
