1959: Farewell Batista, Hello Barbie

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
On today’s show: We look at how the Cuban revolution is going half a century after Fidel Castro seized power. Then, we learn how one Iraqi General curried favor with Saddam Hussein’s regime. And we’ll talk to a sociologist about how we’re blurring the boundary between work and home. Plus, as Barbie turns 50 we’ll chat about the dark side of her manufacturer: Mattel.
