The Game: A Conversation with George Howe Colt & Jeanne Birdsall

Hear National Book Award Winner Jeanne Birdsall and friendly neighborhood morning radio host Monte Belmonte speak with the National Book Award finalist from Whatley, George Howe Colt about his new book, The Game: Harvard, Yale and America in 1968.
