Fast, Deep, and Out of Control: A BL Show Experiment

The Brian Lehrer Show | Jun 19, 2013

Today we try something different on the show we're calling "Fast, Deep, and Out of Control" -- one hour of fast quick-hit segments; one hour deep dive on a particular subject; and one "out of control" call-in. Wendy Davis’ filibuster shone a spotlight on a legislative battle over abortion access in Texas. We’ll look at the wider landscape of abortion rights in the U.S. Then, the root of extradition agreements and how they work; and why the National Institutes of Health have announced they’re moving away from research on our close relatives, chimpanzees. Plus: a special deep dive on affirmative action – including the history of the policy, goals, and how to know when it’s working.
