The Leonard Lopate Show
Pushing the Boundaries
Monday, March 26, 2007
Legal experts Frederick A.O. Schwarz, Jr. and Aziz Z. Huq criticize the Bush Administration for eliminating many checks on presidential power. Then, we get an update on the bed bug epidemic--and ask what to do if you get them. Plus, we talk to an American who traveled to China to train as a kung fu master. And a psychologist explains what patients and their loved ones can do after receiving a life-altering diagnosis.
Checking in on Executive Power
After Watergate, the Senate formed the Church Committee to investigate abuses of power by the intelligence community and the Office of the President. Frederick A.O. Schwarz served as chief counsel. Now, thirty years later, Mr. Schwartz and co-author Aziz Z. Huq explore how the Bush Administration is eliminating checks on executive power.
