Millions of Congolese civilians have remained displaced since the end of the civil war in 2002, and thousands more have been forced from their homes by recent conflict in the east. Aid workers explain how they are dealing with the issue. Next, chef Charlie Palmer discusses his signature brand of Progressive American cuisine. And, Australian writer Elliot Perlman discusses his new novel, Seven Types of Ambiguity. The book follows the intertwined lives of seven different narrators as they navigate the complications of modern life. Then, Malcolm Gladwell, author of The Tipping Point, explains the complexities of quick decisions in his latest work, Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking.
