Iraq Update: Humanitarian And Medical Aid
The war in Iraq has been over for weeks but the basic needs of the Iraqi people are still not being met. Larry Mantle gets an update from Elaine Bole of World Vision, and Rabih Torbay, Vice President of International Relief and Development for the International Medical Corps about the delivery of humanitarian and medical aid to the Iraqi people now that the major military operations have ceased.
Annika Sorenstam: Breaking The Golf Barrier
She's Swedish, talented, and no-she's not a swimsuit model. She's Annika Sorenstam, a pro golf player, the first woman to play a round in a PGA Tour event in 58 years. Sorenstam competed with the world's best golf players in the Bank of America Colonial, missing the cut by four shots. Does Sorenstam's game in the Colonial bode the end of male-only golf tournaments, like the PGA Tour and the Master's? What is her impact on the game of golf, and on women's participation in the pro-tours? Larry talks with Jeff Rude, Senior Writer at Golfweek.com.
Summer Reading
Well, summer is officially here, and it's time to grab a book and head to the beach or find a shady tree in the backyard. What will you read? A mystery? A novel? How about a travelogue? Joining host Larry Mantle to dive into a summer reading list is Jonathan Kirsch, author, book critic and publishing attorney and Diane Leslie, novelist, bookseller, and the host of readings at Dutton's Brentwood Books.
