In this week's Underreported feature, we'll look into an unusual peace offering in Thailand. Last weekend, the Thai government dropped over one hundred million paper cranes in an effort to ease tensions in its southern Muslim region. Professor Tamara Loos, Assistant Professor of Southeast Asian History at Cornell University, and Thai journalist and Neiman fellow Thepchai Yong, offer some perspective on the situation. Then, Rosie Perez discusses her role in a revival of Craig Lucas's 1988 play Reckless. And Eve Ensler explores the ways women throughout the world feel they need to change their bodies in order to be considered attractive and acceptable in their respective societies in The Good Body. Finally, Anthony Calnek and Barbara Price join us for a discussion of the Guggenheim’s current exhibit on The Aztec Empire.
