    Highlights

    As the Brian Lehrer Show staff heads west for the Aspen Ideas Festival, we bring you some highlights from recent shows, including an interview with the late great George Carlin and a new interview looking at preparations for this fall's political conventions.

Convention-al Thinking

Bob Hennelly, WNYC senior reporter, and Chuck Samuelson, executive director of the ACLU of Minnesota, discuss the extent to which St. Paul and Denver are using New York in 2004 as a model for this summer's political conventions.

Before There was Stephen Colbert, There was George Carlin

The late George Carlin spoke with Brian just a few months before he died. It's an open, warm and funny conversation that covers a lot of ground - not the least of which is political.

Hard to Remember

Dominic Carter has stared down politicians during debates--as well as his own past. In this AP award-winning interview, he discusses his book, No Momma's Boy: How I let Go of my Past and Embraced the Future .
