May 19th Show
Here's what's happening on the show today:
In our first hour, we will talk about the Republican Party. Following the Republican defeat in a Congressional contest in Mississippi, some believe the party has lost its way. California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has gone so far as to call for the party to adopt Democrat policies to win elections. So how much trouble is the Republican Party really in? Republicans, we especially want to hear from you. What can be done to fix the party? After that discussion, we'll turn to our opinion page. Ibram Rogers, a doctoral student in African American Studies at Temple University, will give his take on how he feels Martin Luther King, Jr. should be represented in a sculpture that is being designed of him as a centerpiece on the National Mall in Washington. Rogers' article is entitled, "A Stone-Faced Lie on the Mall" and appears on theroot.com.
In our second hour, we'll talk to author Jill Price about her extraordinary memory. Price is able to recall every detail of every single day of her life since she was the age of 12. Her book is called "The Woman Who Can't Forget" and Price will tell us what happens to her when she recalls the memory of, say, that first kiss...and that first break up. At the end of the hour, author Mark Bowden explains why he believes that in the world of sports, cheating will always be part of the game.
