Willem de Kooning An American Master
Filmmaker Michael Mann discusses his latest work, "Collateral," in which a contract killer hijacks a cab in what proves to be a very tense car chase. Then, Mark Stevens and Annalyn Swan explore the importance of Willem de Kooning’s paintings to American art, from abstract expressionism to WPA murals, in An American Master. Masha Hamilton joins us with her latest novel, The Distance Between Us. The book follows the struggles of an investigative journalist as she tries to remain objective after violence in the Middle East results in the death of a colleague and lover. And Arthur Herman argues that the British Royal Navy set the stage for today’s modern global order in To Rule the Waves.
