Values and Judgments
On today’s show, we’ll take a look at the Bush Administration’s relationship with science, from stem cells to vaccines to abortion. Plus, a murder mystery set among the British upper-crust during the 1920s. And the influential wine importer Kermit Lynch stops by. And to start it all off: Al and Larry Ubell, the Gurus of How-To.

Adventures on the Wine Route
Kermit Lynch, who’s been described as a “wine hippie,” is one of most influential wine importers in the US. He’ll tell us about his adventures tracking down the best wines in France.
Political Science?
In this week’s New Yorker, Michael Specter argues that the Bush Administration is blurring the line between science and politics...and ignoring many scientists who disagree with its policies. He examines what this means for research on everything from stem cells to climate change.
