In the third installment of our lecture series titled, "Ups and Downs of 100 Years of US-Hungary" relations, Dr. Glant will discuss American cultural diplomacy in 1965-66 when the two countries moved from open hostility to raising diplomatic relations to the ambassadorial level. This entertaining lecture revolves around the amusing exploits of Cultural Affairs Officer and Press Secretary Ed Alexander, reciting stories from the world of music, theater, film, higher education, and diplomacy.
