Senate Foreign Relations Committee chair Sen. Richard Lugar discusses possibilities for Iraq. Sideways star Paul Giamatti reflects on "falling into acting" with a degree from Yale.
Sen. Richard Lugar
Respected on both sides of the aisle, Richard Lugar is Indiana's longest-serving U.S. Senator. He chairs the Foreign Relations Committee and is a member and former chair of the Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee. He previously served two terms as Indianapolis mayor and four years on the city's Public Schools board. In 2000, Lugar and former Sen. Sam Nunn were nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for their work to reduce nuclear threats. In his re-issued 1988 book, Letters to the Next President, Lugar includes advice to a re-elected Bush.
Paul Giamatti
Since starring in American Splendor, Paul Giamatti has continued to rack up notable film credits, including the award-winning Sideways and an Oscar-nominated and SAG award-winning performance in Cinderella Man. He also won an Emmy for the title role in HBO's miniseries, John Adams. A Connecticut native, his acting roots are in theater, from his college days at Yale, where he earned his undergrad degree and an M.A. in fine arts, to regional productions to Broadway. Giamatti can next be seen in the feature, Cold Souls.
