Earlier Primary For California
Larry Mantle talks with experts about what it will mean for the Presidential Primary now that California's voting day has advanced to February 5th.
The Lie Detectors
According to historian Ken Alder, uncovering deception is an American obsession. In his new book, The Lie Detectors, he tells the story of the invention that gained the trust of the nation but ultimately destroyed the lives of its two inventors. Larry talks with Alder about the bizarre tale of the men who shared an ambition to ensure honesty in daily life and the machine itself, which tells us as much about our beliefs as our deceits.
