Identity and Politics
As part of today’s election coverage, we ask just how rigid our political identities are, and how they affect our senses of self. Self-identified liberal talk show host John Moe explains what happened when he tried to live as a conservative for 30 days. Later on, Antonia Fraser explores how Louis XIV was influenced by the women in his life. And Katherine Lanpher talks about her mid-life move to Manhattan to co-host Al Franken's show on Air America. Plus, Ruth Reichl joins us for a Thanksgiving recipe swap.

Please Explain: Eco-Labels
The Leonard Lopate Show
Your broccoli, shampoo, and air conditioner might bear labels declaring them to be organic, cruelty-free, or energy efficient, but what do those labels mean and are they true? Dr. Urvashi Rangan, Project Director for Consumer Reports' GreenerChoices.org and Consumers Union’s Senior Scientist for Policy Initiatives, and Dara O'Rourke, founder and CEO of GoodGuide.com, took a look at what eco-labels indicate, how standards are set, and what they mean for consumers and manufacturers around the world.
