    Crossing the BLVD

    The husband-and-wife team of Judith Sloan and Warren Lehrer (Yes. Brian’s brother.), have gathered the oral histories of new immigrants who have come to Queens— the most diverse locality in America, and probably the world— into a stunningly-designed new book/CD combo Crossing The BLVD. Find out more about a piece of New York that is at once historic and prophetic. Also Katrina Vanden Heuvel of The Nation gives a critique of Wesley Clark.
