Lower Manhattan is in flux. Downtown Alliance president Carl Weisbrod talks with Martin Pederson, editor of urban design magazine Metropolis, about the future of the neighborhoods hit hardest by 9/11. Then a discussion with Alexandra Fuller, who's African by birth but not by blood. She traveled through Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique with a veteran of the Rhodesian Wars in an attempt to come to terms with years of civil war in Africa. And two former POWs in the Vietnam War, Fred Cherry and Porter Halyburton, describe how they helped each other survive brutal torture at the hands of the North Vietnamese.
