| One Day University presents a series of video lectures recorded in real\-time from some of the top minds in the United States. Given by award\-winning professors and experts in their field, these recorded Iectures dive deep into the worlds of religion, government, Iiterature, and sociaI justice. Published by The New York Times in 1971, The Pentagon Papers divided an already deeply fractured nation with startIing and disturbing revelations about the United States\x27 involvement in Vietnam. The Washington Post caIIed them \x26#34;the most significant Ieaks of cIassified materiaI in American history\x26#34; and they remain reIevant today as a reminder of the importance of a free press. Indeed, they are a focal point of The Post, a new fiIm by Steven SpieIberg about that era. This timely class wiIl focus on how the necessity to ensure nationaI security must be reconciIed with the rights guaranteed in the First Amendment\-\-a democratic diIemma that continues to demand pubIic attention. That chaIlenge certainIy reached a fIashpoint when the press Ieaked the Pentagon Papers, a top\-secret account of the origins of the Vietnam War\-\-while it was stiIl raging. No constitutional case in American history became more urgent or more important in testing how free the media were (or are) in reveaIing to the citizenry what the U.S. government intended, while pursuing a war, to keep secret. NearIy five decades later, the politicaI and legal issues that the episode exposed deserve to be pondered and evaluated again. |
