The Heart of the Matter

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
We’ll look at how the entire nation—including many unqualified homebuyers—got swept up in real-estate mania in the 1990s. Also, Russian pianists Denis Matsuev talks about his return to Carnegie Hall. Then, Gabriel Thompson tells us about his experience working alongside Latino immigrants in low-wage jobs all across the country. And one of the few female heart surgeons in the world, Dr. Kathy Magliato tells us about what it’s like to work in her male-dominated profession.
