Mayoral Choices; COVID-19 Treatments; Biden and Racial Justice; 'Coping With Cancer'

On today's show:

• Jeffery C. Mays, a reporter on the Metro Desk for The New York Times, and Elizabeth Kim, senior editor for Gothamist, talk about the state of New York City's mayoral race. Plus ranked choice voting on the phones: listeners call in with their top three choices for mayor.
• Kevin Tracey, MD, president and CEO of the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, talks about how far COVID-19 medical treatments have come in the past year and what new treatments are being developed and tested.
• President Biden started his presidency with a flurry of executive orders related to racial equity. Paul Butler, professor at Georgetown Law and the author of Chokehold: Policing Black Men (The New Press, 2017), checks in on what more progress -- if any -- the administration has made on advancing racial justice.
• Elizabeth Cohn Stuntz, psychotherapist on the faculty of the Westchester Center for Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy, cancer survivor, Zen practitioner and co-author (with Marsha Linehan) of Coping with Cancer: DBT Skills to Manage Your Emotions--and Balance Uncertainty with Hope (The Guilford Press, 2021), talks about the use of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) as a way of facing the psychologically toll of a cancer diagnosis, and how it relates to other experiences that give rise to uncertainty and fear.
