Movie Magicians

Wednesday, July 11, 2007

Hans Blix was in charge of monitoring Iraq’s weapons for the United Nations in 2003. Now, as North Korea and Iran continue to develop nuclear weapons programs, he shares his ideas for stopping the spread of nuclear weapons throughout the world. Also: a look at the latest Harry Potter film, and why it can be so difficult to turn a fanatically beloved book into a movie. And the Gurus of How-To, Alvin and Larry Ubell, answer your home repair questions.
