The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
Osama bin Laden has never spoken publicly about the elite and secular Saudi high school he attended. But it was there (when he was just 14) that he got his first real lessons in violent jihad. On today’s show, we’ll find out if his radical beliefs may have taken root when he was still a teenager. Plus, an update on the political climate in Iran following its recent elections. Also on the show: rock legend Patti Smith. And Frank Langella tells us about playing Bill Paley in "Good Night, and Good Luck."
