Hard Choices

The Leonard Lopate Show | Jan 7, 2011

Dr. Paul A. Offit offers medical arguments against the anti-vaccine movement, and why he thinks it threatens us all. Then, Amy Chua talks about the pros and cons of raising her children the Chinese way—and why she thinks Chinese women make “superior mothers.” Also we look at the problem of self-control in an age of excess. And our latest Backstory segment explores the history of the Second Amendment. Plus our latest Underreported segment looks at the collapse of dairy prices and at efforts to pass price fixing legislation in Congress.
