As the 2004 presidential election comes closer, critiques of the candidates are heating up. Today Eric Alterman and Mark Green tell why they think George W. Bush is more of a misleader than he is a leader. Then two of Mark Rothko’s children, Dr. Christopher Rothko and Kate Rothko Prizel, talk about their father’s progress as a painter in 1949, when he was poised to become a major figure among Abstract Expressionists. Physicist Brian Greene uses the dual concepts of space and time to guide us towards a deeper understanding of the cosmos. And we kick off Secret Admirers, our Valentine’s Day series, with a conversation between writers Tracy Chevalier and Margaret Atwood.
