Christine Todd Whitman (from It's My Party, Too)
Christine Todd Whitman, the first woman to be elected governor of New Jersey, and the EPA administrator for the Bush administration from January 2001 to May 2003, talks politics: It's My Party Too: The Battle for the Heart of the GOP and the Future of America. Then, Redmond O'Hanlon recounts his adventures on a deep-sea fishing boat in January: Trawler: A Journey Through the North Atlantic. Geraldine Hughes portrays 24 different characters in her one-woman play, Belfast Blues. She'll tell us about the challenges and rewards of recreating her childhood in Belfast in the 1970s and 1980s. And Benjamin Soskis makes a case for why we should start thinking about the legal rights of machines in the current issue of Legal Affairs. He's here today with Wendell Wallach, the co-author of the upcoming book Robot Morality: The Prospects of Developing an Artificial Moral Agent.
