(Eugene McCarthy (Minnesota Historical Society Photograph Collection)
)
Biographer Dominic Sandbrook takes a close (and rather critical) look at Eugene McCarthy's life and political career, and particularly his role in the the 1968 Democratic presidential race. Then Richard Kluger talks about race relations and the legacy of Brown v. Board of Education in the United States. Mystery writer Donna Leon on her 13th Commissario Guido Brunetti mystery. This latest is called Doctored Evidence. And actor Martin Moran on his new one-man play, "The Tricky Part." It's an examination of his complicated first experience with sex as a 12-year old altar boy.
