Connecticut Today with Paul Pacelli: The Space Race and The Cold War

"Connecticut Today" with Paul Pacelli went where no man has gone before (okay maybe a few men). Paul welcomed Jeff Shesol, a former speechwriter for President Bill Clinton and author of, "MERCURY RISING: John Glenn, John Kennedy, and the New Battleground of the Cold War." They talked about how the 1960s Space Race was a bigger part of the Cold War than what it's usually made out to be (0:27).
