Andy Borowitz Guest Hosts; The Price of Inequality; Nancy Kerrigan's Knee; Rita Moreno; Prosecuting the "Cannibal Cop"

The Leonard Lopate Show | Jan 10, 2014

Andy Borowitz fills in for Leonard Lopate. On today’s show: David Dante Troutt discusses why inequality is a growing crisis in communities across the country. ESPN documentary director Nanette Burstein looks back at the attack on figure skater Nancy Kerrigan 20 years ago. Actor, singer, dancer, and author Rita Moreno talks about her life and career, and receiving the SAG Life Achievement Award later this month. And we’ll look at the case of former cop Gilberto Valle who was convicted last March of plotting to kidnap and eat women–and issues raised when people are convicted for crimes they haven’t even committed yet.
