His many accomplishments in the Senate include serving as the first chairman of the Senate Ethics Committee; introducing legislation to establish the Department of Energy, fuel efficiency standards, emergency natural gas pricing, and projects to develop alternative energy sources. He also introduced the Comprehensive Anti-Terrorism Act of 1979—the first in-depth congressional study of terrorism. In his private-sector career, following his retirement from the Senate in 1981, Stevenson has focused on international matters, especially international finance and East Asia. He has lectured widely, published numerous articles, and received many honors, including Japans Order of the Sacred Treasure with Gold and Silver Star. Currently he is the chairman of SC&M Investment Management Company and a director of Hua Mei Capital Company, the first Sino-U.S. financial intermediary, of which he was also the founder.

The series engages both the public and the New School community on this critically important subject.
