Salt Lake City, UT – The Pentagon is one of the most enigmatic buildings in the world. 17 miles of corridors are in this thing. Just the building itself takes up 29 acres, and it was created in 17 months. Today on RadioWest we're rebroadcasting our conversation with Washington Post reporter Steve Vogel. We talked to him about the fascinating story of the Pentagon. It's not just about a building. It's also a broader history of the evolving role of the military in American life. (Rebroadcast)
