Foreign relations expert Dr. Raymond Tanter assesses the 9/11 warnings. British actor Paul Bettany ponders his promising film career.
Dr. Raymond Tanter
A member of the Council on Foreign Relations, Dr. Raymond Tanter also teaches courses on the Arab-Israeli conflict and international security affairs. He served on the National Security Council staff under President Reagan. In 1984, Dr. Tanter's civilian position at the Pentagon (Personal Representative to the Defense Secretary) outranked then-Colonel Colin Powell. He is a regular contributor to MSNBC television, PBS and CBS Network Radio.
Paul Bettany
It was Paul Bettany's supporting role in the film, A Beautiful Mind, which first caught the attention of the American press. Born into a theatrical family, the British actor left school at age 16 and spent the next two years as a street performer. He turned to drama school and, after graduation, performed on the British stage, in films and TV. Since his star-making turn in Master and Commander, Bettany has starred in Wimbledon, Dogville and, the year's most highly anticipated movie, The Da Vinci Code.
