The Fabric of Life

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
Alvin and Larry Ubell, the self-appointed “Gurus of How-To,” tackle the nuts and bolts of home repair. Then, jazz legend George Wein relives his 50-year career in Myself Among Others. Curator Matilda McQuaid and textile engineer Patricia Wilson describe the new "Extreme Textiles" exhibit at the Cooper-Hewitt. And Pulitzer Prize-winning reporters Mary Jordan and Kevin Sullivan tell the true story of a Hollywood blonde turned Catholic nun who left the comforts of Beverly Hills for a life of service in a notorious Tijuana prison.
