(Karen Hughes)
Psychologist Scott Lilienfeld debunks what he calls "pseudoscience," including some of the classics like Rorschach tests and repressed memories. Then Karen Hughes, President Bush's former advisor, is here to disprove claims made by yesterday’s guest, Richard Clarke, about Bush’s job performance. She says that Bush has been an excellent wartime president and that the fight against terrorism is going well. Russell Shorto talks about the history of Dutch Manhattan and its long-standing history as a place where men and women of different backgrounds can co-exist in relative peace. Plus, Justin Haythe on his debut novel The Honeymoon.
