I can not for the life of me remember his name now, so ashamed.

I was going to suggest the work of that guy from MIT - he's ethnically Jewish, liberal, and a professor emeritus, IIRC, occasionally speaks about the mass media, Israel, and other current events. He's kind of an academic Bernie Sanders, quite up there now...

Not Linus Pauling, but dammit, why can't I remember his name...? His works are kind of deep, but if you get into that subject matter, they are FASCINATING reads. I lived and breathed his books way long ago in college.
