SUV Counting: The Results
Drumroll, please: the results are in on our group journalism project for which over 400 of you counted the SUV’s and other cars on your block. We crunch the numbers and talk about what they mean. Also, Richard Gere on the Dalai Lama coming to New York and the Buddhist notion of emptiness; New York City Public Advocate Betsy Gotbaum on the crackdown on illegally-tinted windows and New York Times sports columnist William Rhoden is our weekly special guest for the month of August, with so much about sports making front page news.
Crackdown on Tinted Windows
New York City Public Advocate Betsy Gotbaum discusses a new legislative effort to ban illegally-tinted windows in an effort to protect police officers and curb terrorist activity.
Sporting Goods
New York Times sports columnist William C. Rhoden joins us every Thursday in August to talk sports. This week, he looks at the Baseball and Football Halls of Fame and how each sport deals with the issue of a player’s “character.” His book Forty Million Dollar Slaves: The Rise, Fall, and Redemption of the Black Athlete is just out in paperback.
Fame and Enlightenment
Actor and activist Richard Gere talks about his Buddhist practice and the Dalai Lama’s visit to New York this Fall. The Dalai Lama’s visit is hosted by The Tibet Center and Richard Gere’s organization, Healing the Divide.
The CD Healing the Divide: A Concert for Peace and Reconciliation [LIVE] is available for purchase at Amazon.com. We played "Nivedan" by Anoushka Shankar to open the interview and "Diamond In Your Mind" by Tom Waits and Kronos Quartet to close.
SUV Count Results
We announce the results of our S.U.V. "crowdsourcing" project. Associate producer, Jim Colgan, lays out the numbers and highlights the blocks with the highest and lowest percentages.
Then we look at what the numbers actually mean with Jamie Kitman New York Bureau Chief for Automobile Magazine and U.S. editor of the magazine for the U.K. television show “Top Gear.”
Thinking About Success
Howard Gardner, professor of cognition and education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, is best known for his theory of multiple intelligences. In his new book, Five Minds for the Future (Harvard Business School Press, 2007), he looks at the kind of intelligence needed to succeed in business in the 21st Century.
