The Leonard Lopate Show
Before and After
Friday, June 02, 2006
New York Times war correspondents Elizabeth Rubin and Dexter Filkins update us on the developments they've been covering in Afghanistan and Iraq. Later on, we’ll ask how formative John F. Kennedy’s time in London in the late 1930s was to his later career. Plus: we’ll find out how one man went from homelessness to a career on the stock exchange. And on this week’s Please Explain, we’ll find out what determines the price of oil.
