Unlike other American wars, the Vietnam War never really ended. It is being re-fought in scholarly works, at college reunions, in family living rooms, and among veterans. Aside from the Civil War, Vietnam was America's most divisive military conflict, and the University of Pittsburgh's Honors College program features some of the war's most outspoken scholars, participants and journalists.

A panel presentation featuring:
Sen. Bob Kerrey, former governor of Nebraska, Vietnam veteran
Peter Arnett, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of Vietnam
Edward G. Miller, Dartmouth College expert on Vietnam, author of a critically acclaimed book on Vietnam
Thomas J. Vallely, former director of Harvard's Vietnam Program and Vietnam veteran
Laura Palmer, reporter in Vietnam and author

Moderated by:
David Shribman, executive editor, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
