Thursday, May 10, 7:00pm. Spies on Screen, Seven Days in May. When unpopular President Jordan Lyman manages to get a nuclear disarmament agreement through the Senate, Cold War tensions are unleashed and intrigue shakes the nation.  The military fears a sneak attack by the Soviets, and General Scott, head of the Joint Chiefs and a man with his own presidential aspirations, decides to take matters into the hands of the military.  John Frankenheimer’s direction of Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas, and Ava Gardner dramatically captures a country on the brink of a coup d’etat.  Four Star General Frederick Kroesen, former commander of the U.S Army in Europe and commander of the NATO Central Army Group, will discuss the film’s accuracy following the screening. No charge; no registration required.
