On our program tonight, a forthcoming memoir by former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates is creating a stir over the decisions that shaped the United States at war. Also: an update on the destruction of Syria's chemical weapons, a debate over whether the U.S. should overhaul school disciplinary measures, the 50th anniversary of the war on poverty and views on investing in future infrastructure.
