Power and Pastries

Friday, March 09, 2007

Guest host Alice Rhee talks to Dan Gilgoff about the political and cultural influence of James Dobson, Focus on the Family, and the Christian Right. Then, a pastry chef dishes on 25 years in the White House. And we talk to photographer Eric J. Henderson. Plus, we venture into magnetic stripe technology on Please Explain.


James Dobson and Focus on the Family

In The Jesus Machine, Dan Gilgoff examines the impact James Dobson and his organization Focus on the Family have had on American politics-- from the re-election of George W. Bush, to the Terri Schiavo congressional intervention.
