    Cross Bronx Section

    What's the best way to find out what's on the mind of Bronx residents? The online retailer Amazon now allows anyone to index the bestselling items for any geographic area or extension (like .edu, .org, and .com.) Amazon's list shows Culture, Society, and Drugs: The Social Science Approach to Drug Use as the number one book north of the Harlem River. Also popular there are a history of the Bronx accent, a Dominican cookbook, and Jacobs Dozen: A Prophetic Look at the Tribes of Israel. We'll also find out the answer to the question: what is International A.N.S.W.E.R.?, and why Ken Pollack and Rabbi Michael Lerner disagree about a possible Iraq war.
