Cory Booker
Four years ago, New Jersey’s largest city had a rare turn in the media spotlight when a charismatic challenger emerged to four-term mayor Sharpe James. Cory Booker was a young, charismatic city councilman, but he lost the hotly-contested race by 3,500 votes. This May, Newark may be set for a James-Booker rematch. Also, David Eick and Ronald Moore discuss the nuances of their sci-fi hit "Battlestar Galactica", Alexandra Natapoff and Peter Moskos explore the role of snitching in criminal justice, and Selena Blake is joined by residents from the Queensbridge public housing project to discuss her new documentary.
