New College adjunct professor of International Studies Nat Colletta contends that Sarasota is second only to northern Virginia as a retirement mecca for foreign service officers.

The topic, “Nuclear Weapons: They’re Back,” gives the stage to Robert Gallucci, the former Assistant Secretary of State for Political-Military Affairs and former dean of Georgetown’s School of Foreign Affairs. In 1994, Gallucci negotiated North Korea into freezing plutonium production, at least temporarily, and agreeing to inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
