Our continuing series, Underreported looks into the relationship between science and the media. We will be talking with Professors Frank N. von Hippel and Steven Pinker about why certain issues make it to the headlines while other urgent scientific concerns are swept to the side. Next, Harvard professor Dr. Howard Gardner evaluates the psychology of swing voters. Then multimedia artist Laurie Anderson and curator Barbara London discuss a new 3-part series at MoMA about how music informs and inspires artwork. Finally, actor Gael Garcia Bernal, director Walter Salles, and screenwriter Jose Rivera, on "The Motorcycle Diaries." The film follows Che Guevara and his friend Alberto Granado along an 8,000-mile, spiritually significant motorcycle journey they took in their youth.
