Truth and Reconciliation

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
Filmmaker Gillian Caldwell and South African human rights lawyer Howard Varney discuss the lasting effects of Sierra Leone’s brutal civil war, and the importance of creating historical accountability for the atrocities committed. Next, we talk to several ghostwriters about the adventures of documenting the stories of sports heroes. We’re joined by James Kaplan (who has worked with John McEnroe and Brad Gilbert), Charley Rosen (who wrote with Darryl Dawkins), and Dan Markowitz (who has worked with John Starks and Walt Frazier). Then, David Lang and Phil Kline re-imagine Handel with their Messiah Remix. Finally, Chip Kidd and Les Daniels look back at The Golden Age of DC Comics, from Superman to Wonder Woman and Batman.
