(Opening Mexico)
Got a jiggly doorknob, a leaky roof, banging pipes? The gurus of how-to, Alvin and Larry Ubell, are here to take your calls and answer all your home repair questions. Then two journalists, Julia Preston and Samuel Dillon, go over the decline of the dictatorial Institutional Revolutionary Party in Mexico’s recent political history. Veteran singer Barbara Cook discusses the music from two decades of Broadway’s golden years, from 1951 to 1971. And theater professionals Doug Wright, Moises Kaufman, and Jefferson Mays on the life of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, an East German transvestite who managed to survive the Nazi regime.
