The Brian Lehrer Show

Public/Private

Tuesday, February 19, 2008

Senators Obama and McCain once agreed to a publicly financed general election. What role does public money play--and do they both still intend to keep that pledge? Also: the author of the new book Drifting Towards Love: Black, Brown, Gay, and Coming of Age on the Streets of New York talks about the lives of the men he profiled.
