Wedge Issues

The Brian Lehrer Show | Mar 31, 2010
The Democrats are still battling it out in the here and now, but Republicans are already deeply worried about the November elections. New Yorker writer George Packer talks about his recent article, Have the Republicans Run Out of Ideas?. Also: food prices may be on the rise, but that doesn't seem to be pushing us to conserve it: a recent study shows that Americans generate 30 million tons of food waste a year. And: we continue our look at parks around the city with a visit to Travers Park in Jackson Heights, and author Carl Hiaasen talks about his twisted relationship with golf.
