A Lasting Impression
The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
Today we'll speak to three winners of this year's Lasker Awards about their groundbreaking work on leukemia. Then, Francine Prose talks about how Anne Frank's diary has become one of the most widely read -- and banned -- historical documents of the 20th century. Director Margot Benacerraf discusses why her celebrated film "Araya" has rarely been shown.
