Looking to the Future

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
Alvin and Larry Ubell, the self-appointed "Gurus of How-To," explore the intricacies of home repair. They’ll be taking listener phone calls at 212-267-WNYC. Then, former State Department security officer Clayton Swisher discusses Yasser Arafat’s legacy, the future of Palestinian leadership, and the implications for relations in the Middle East. Mr. Swisher was a special agent at Camp David in 2000, and has recently written a book on what he feels went wrong during those negotiations: The Truth About Camp David. Next, Katherine Vockins of Rehabilitation Through the Arts and former inmate Sean "Dino" Johnson discuss bringing theater to Sing-Sing prison. Finally, comic Dave Gorman relives his odyssey into an obsession with "googlewhacking"--entering two words into Google and getting back only one unique hit. He documents his quest in a new stage show and book, Dave Gorman’s Googlewhack Adventure.

WNYC is funded by sponsors and member donations
