Out of This World

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
Jeffrey Sachs details plans to end extreme poverty throughout the world in 20 years. Then, filmmaker Jonathan Nossiter and wine importer Neal Rosenthal look at the state of wine production in the new global economy in "Mondovino." We'll hear from Jonathan Lethem (author of Motherless Brooklyn and Fortress of Solitude) about growing up in Brooklyn and becoming a writer. Next, M.G. Lord tells us what it was like having a rocket scientist for a father. And George Pendle continues on the same theme with a look at the otherworldly life of rocket scientist John Whiteside Parsons.
