NYT on Homelessness; Marty Markowitz; Urban Monk

The Brian Lehrer Show | Dec 9, 2013

It's not just Bloomberg who says goodbye on January 1st -- Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz is also leaving office after twelve years. We discuss his time in office and the rise of Brooklyn over the last decade. Plus: New York Times reporter Andrea Elliott on her five-part series about homeless child, which she spent a year reporting. Regents Chancellor Merryl Tisch defends Common Core. And a Hare Krishna monk discusses life in NYC.

Be alert for scams. WNYC never asks for nor accepts money for coverage or interviews. Anyone making such a request does not represent WNYC.
