Peter Schramm was born American, but in the wrong place. His weekly conversations are meant to enlighten, edify and even amuse you Americans! He talks with interesting and thoughtful (and sometimes well-known) people about American politics and what Mark Twain called the nation's temperament. Schramm is executive director of the John M. Ashbrook Center for Public Affairs at Ashland University.
