Four years after the Mayor won control of city schools, does Chancellor Joel Klein have them on the right track? Also, Slate.com's chief political correspondent John Dickerson talks monday morning politics and Brian opens the phone lines to see what listeners think about Russian President Vladimir Putin and again to find out whether they think Mayor Bloomberg should run for President.
