Feeling the Aftershocks
Environmental attorney Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. charges the Bush administration with undermining 30 years worth of environmental protection laws in Crimes Against Nature. Next, Tony Perrottet uncovers the true story of the original Olympic Games in The Naked Olympics. Then Alan F. Segal discusses the meanings of different notions of the afterlife to ancient civilizations in his new book Life After Death. And we’ll talk to Bob Berger, who directed and helped to create Charlie Victor Romeo--a play based on black box transcripts from real-life airline emergencies.
