Shops and restaurants tend to come and go pretty quickly in New York City, but some have been able to stick around. Mark Federman, of Russ & Daughters, and Lou DiPalo, of DiPalo’s Fine Foods, talk about the challenges of running century-old establishments in a fast-paced city. Then ex-conservative David Brock criticizes his former party – he thinks Republicans have hijacked public discourse in the U.S. in the last thirty years. And Robert Reich, former Labor Secretary under the Clinton administration, differentiates between public and private morality in American society. He thinks that the government should worry less about what people do in their bedrooms and more about what they do in the boardrooms.
