Shuffling the Decks

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
On today’s show we’ll look at how the Iraq War contributed to the shift of global power away from American dominance. Then, 100 years ago Paris was largely underwater. Jeffrey Jackson tells us how Parisians came together to survive the great flood of 1910. Plus, we’ll celebrate the 40th anniversary of Film Forum! And, the Internet has changed virtually every aspect of modern culture. We’ll talk to two of the contributors of the new Frontline documentary “Digital Nation.”
