Illuminating Subjects

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
We'll start the show off with a bus driver's perspective on a possible end to the transit strike. Electronic surveillance can save lives...and destroy them. On today's show, we'll find out how one inventor’s work on bugs and wiretaps changed the art of eavesdropping…and then came back to bite him. Also on the show: a discussion of the symbolism of oil lamps and light in the Jewish tradition, and a new quarterly dealing with Jewish culture. Plus, humorist Andy Borowitz reviews the year’s biggest news stories, and we'll end the show with a reading of "Twas the Night Before Christmas."
