  • Citta "Slow"

    The slow food movement encourages people to take more time preparing their food and eating it together. We speak with the Mayor of Orvieto, Italy, a "slow-city." Far from being insipid and meaningless, primetime TV dialogue is becoming denser and more dialogue-packed. Also on the show, find out why television producers are lengthening scripts and encouraging actors to talk faster--in the manner of Cary Grant in Arsenic and Old Lace, a certificate for real Italian restaurants, and the transit worker leadership, under the microscope.

Take The "A" Train…if it's running.
