The Leonard Lopate Show
Under Fire?
Friday, February 17, 2006
On today’s show, we’ll ask about the possible political repercussions of Dick Cheney shooting his hunting partner. Later on, Faith Prince and Tom Wopat preview their upcoming singing engagement at Feinstein’s. And Cheryl Strayed tells us about her new novel about one family’s struggle with cancer. Plus, the latest edition of our Please Explain feature.
Political Heat?
From wearing mismatched shoes to shooting his hunting partner, Dick Cheney’s been the subject of some odd headlines lately. On today's show, we'll ask if the public’s confidence is waning, and whether or not it will affect how the Vice President will be seen by history. We’re joined by Ken Bazinet and Tom DeFrank of the New York Daily News.

Please Explain: Everything!
