Boffins and Cold Warriors: April 2013

http://boffinsandcoldwarriors.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html

Boffins and Cold Warriors. About Boffins and Cold Warriors. On April 9th I attended the wonderful conference hosted by the newly renamed Bill Graham Centre for Contemporary International History entitled, The Pearson Government: 50 Years On. This was probably the finest conference I have attended, because of the depth and breadth of insight offered by speakers, commentators, and audience. It was a rare and splendid opportunity, and Im glad I was able to reschedule my other meetings to attend.
