seem to be high as a result of that, what can one visit by one pontiff do to help mitigate some united tension in the states? guest: we have to put that in the right context, not only what will be the immediate and also long-term effects. the holy father has said he wants to enter into a dialogue. that is a great call for all of us not to give up the richness of our convictions, but rather to listen to one another. harmony -- call for and that is harmony that doesn't know a racial divide, harmony that begins by looking at what is good for the other person. it begins with rights and responsibilities as something we all take on. i think our holy father's message can be a catalyst. the call of a pastor who is not in the political fray to make sure that we are bringing out the best in ourselves. i guess you are correct that we don't want to overestimate what one speech or one word would be. our holy father, even his symbolic actions themselves, can be gestures that take on a life of their own and bring out the best in others. i think his gestures will be a great thing. by the way, you probably kno

you're right, in cuba it takes a certain form than in the united states, but tensions both places. >> not tyranny. >> metaphorical tyranny, sure. but i think he doesn't just mean government imposed. that's where i think one of those moments he went off script was so critically important, the reflection on globalization. this is a pastor from the developing world, who feels like he's been on the receiving end in some ways of the way globalization works in the early 21st century, so when he made that plea, let's not have form of globalization, because in practice what that means is we have to be like the west. this is a pastor who comes from the global south saying, no, let's preserve the diversity, riches of cultures. i think he would say a kind of globalization that imposes one model of life for everybody, which is a cultural process, and he would also say that's one of the various forms of tyranny. >> interesting, father beck, you are studying, following, making note of any time he went off script. what struck you about this speech? >> i thought it was fascinating, what he emphasizes

of debates are very much like some of the arguments that -- political arguments and tensions perhaps between the united states and western europe. once you have a series of strikes in poland in the late '70s and the possibilities that the soviets might go in as they had done in shebg czechoslovakia in 1968. >> in this book you described the scene with gorbachev and reagan. what about the personal reaction between these two men. what was it like and how did it evolve over the eight years of the reagan presidency? >> it certainly evolved, i would say. the first encounter was perhaps -- i don't think it was as warm as it then came. gorbachev made a joke about reagan being in a bunch of b movies. he tried to say, well, i was in some good ones too. a wonderful moment when they 50s encounter each other. and gorbachev gets out of the car bundled up. reagan without the jacket, much older but more vigorous figure bounding down the stairs. their very first encounter, which we could watch clips of it on tv, but what gets lost so they had -- gorbachev said i hope you don't catch cold. since reagan had outrun his i

supporters of israel both in israel and the united states who think president obama has not been sufficiently supportive of israel and there are unnecessary tensions that have been created between israel and the united states. what is your view? >> well, he's maintained their qualitative military superiority. there's been some very public squabbles not all of which are his fault. mr. netanyahu's trip to the congress was rather unprecedented. >> and unwise? >> well, you can ask him that. here's what i think. i think most important thing is we'll have a new president in january of 1917. i mean 2017. i believe the nuclear agreement with iran is on balance the right thing to do because i don't believe that an iranian nuclear capacity now would be just iran. i think there would be one to four other states that would get nuclear power in the middle east. i think you'd have race on by all these various non-state actors and it could billie a nightmare. i also think ten years is a very long time. a lot of people say ten years from now they'll do what they're doing now. in 1979, if somebody told you that the berlin wall would fall and the soviet union would
