It's possible to turn on the text by going to the utube video link. I cannot improve upon the opening words of Chris Hedges.

My embolding for your convenience.

<<"John F. Kennedy's last battle, cut short by his assassination, was the effort to build a sustainable piece with the Soviet Union. Jeffrey Sachs, professor of economics at Columbia University in his new book, "To Move the World", chronicles the campaign by Kennedy from October 1962 to September 1963 to curb the arms race and build ties with his Soviet counterpart, Nikita Khrushchev. Sachs looks at the series of speeches Kennedy gave to end the Cold War and persuade the world to make peace with the Soviets. Kennedy implemented the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty in 1963, but Kennedy's vision was not shared by many cold warriors in the establishment, including some within his administration and especially within the military. Joining me to discuss To Move the World: JFK's Quest for Peace is Professor Jeffrey Sachs.">>

I recommend watching the video, even just the first few minutes if you are pressed for time.
