Walking the Lines

The Brian Lehrer Show | Feb 2, 2012

The League of American Bicyclists (LAB) is sounding the alarm over what the House transportation bill would change for cyclists and pedestrians. LAB president Andy Clarke talks about the proposals and their impact on New York and New Jersey.   Author Mei-Ling Hopgood starts a February series on the "best practices" of parenting around the world.  Journalist William Shawcross talks about his new book Justice and the Enemy: Nuremberg, 9/11, and the Trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and democratic values in times of war.  Plus, what the Facebook IPO means for your data, a discussion of indie movies and the Sundance Film Festival, and we take your calls on teaching controversial history topics to students.
