Americana: 19 Sep 2010: US styles of change.

Presenter Matt Frei talks to David Plouffe. After managing Barak
Obama's successful campaign for President, David Plouffe is back to
work pushing for "change", but this time the White House is hoping
he can put his 2008 magic to work for the Democratic Party's
midterm election campaign. In 1962 the Mormon Tabernacle Choir
demonstrated a new style of international diplomacy when it reached
across the Iron Curtain to perform the world's first international
satellite television broadcast in front of Mount Rushmore. Two
members of the choir recall what it was like to send music across
enemy lines and reflect on the changes they thought might be
possible. Matt Frei talks to Noam Chomsky. Over 40 years, he's
explored ideas of war, conspiracy, conservation and communication.
Americana asks him how his ideas have changed over time and how
Americans may continue to transform in the future.
