Sounding Out the Truth

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
In 2001, James Yee became one of the US Army’s first Muslim chaplains. But after serving 10 months at Guantanamo Bay, he was charged with spying and aiding the Taliban. On today's show, he tells us his side of the story. Then, Lewis Dabney looks back at the life of Edmund Wilson. Tab Hunter tells us about being a gay movie star in the 1950s—when he had to keep his sexual identity a secret. And in this week’s Please Explain feature, Oliver Sachs helps us explore the science of music.
