Brief Histories

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
We talk to a man who helped break the color barrier in the corporate world in the 1940s and 1950s. Then, a new documentary unravels the politically-charged 1977 abduction of a Japanese schoolgirl. And another documentary explores the life of the reclusive artist Agnes Martin. Plus, we look at the history of cocaine, and some of the latest research on how it affects the brain, on Please Explain.
