Dr. Michael Salla spent years in war zones - East Timor, Kosovo, Sri Lanka - teaching conflict resolution at American University. Then one press conference in 2001 cost him his academic career.

Morgan cancelled his suite on the Titanic, and so did dozens of his friends. Three of the richest men in America got an invitation instead, and all three stood between Morgan and the bank he wanted. A rescue ship waited in the ice with 3,000 blankets. And the wreck still carries a secret on its bow, rusting through the paint. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
