Elephants, Endorsements and Ethics

The Brian Lehrer Show | Aug 28, 2014

Poachers are killing elephants in Africa at alarming levels – more than 100,000 between 2010 and 2012. Save the Elephants founder and CEO Dr. Iain Douglas-Hamilton explains what’s fueling the poaching, and what can be done to save the animal from extinction. Plus: The New York Times editorial board refuses to endorse Governor Cuomo over his handling of ethics reform; author and illustrator Jules Feiffer on his new graphic novel; and changes are coming to the way we book flights as airlines try to wrest control from sites like Orbitz and CheapTickets.com.
