In February 2013, Toronto's former mayor, Rob Ford, was caught on video smoking crack cocaine. Weeks later, he was accused of groping a campaign rival; had to leave a gala for being too intoxicated; and was fired as the coach of a high school football team. The events were part of a stream of Rob Ford "mishaps", which include a DUI; accusations of domestic violence; a trial where the Toronto City Council stripped him of his powers; even accusations of murder.

This program was recorded live. It was Reno's first opportunity to address the new developments in the case.

As a young woman, Democratic congresswoman Carolyn Maloney asked her grandmother for career advice. She was shocked by the reply: "Get married." Though much has changed for women since then, more has remained the same. On a January night in 2008, Maloney and her daughter attended a Hillary Clinton rally in New Hampshire. Men in the audience held "Iron My Shirt" posters aloft. This small incident provoked outrage, but it provided an important peephole onto larger problems that women face today.

After nine months of examining and analyzing U.S. military involvement in Iraq, the bi-partisan Iraq Study Group issued this report on Dec. 6, 2006.

La lotta armata ha avuto vita così lunga in Italia per due precise ragioni, spesso considerate separatamente da osservatori e studiosi. Capire la sua storia è impossibile senza capire a fondo chi l'ha combattuta, come e con quali fini. Se da un lato il progetto rivoluzionario brigatista ha goduto nei primi anni Settanta di un certo consenso, poi estintosi col mutare delle condizioni del paese, dall'altro lato è sopravvissuto per tanti anni grazie alla lentezza dell'azione repressiva dei servizi di sicurezza che, come l'audiolibro documenta ampiamente, sin dal 1972 potevano debellare ogni nucleo armato.

Nigel Farage is a maverick and an outsider. But perhaps more than anyone else, he is now shaping the British political agenda. Under his leadership the United Kingdom Independence Party has been turned from a fringe organisation into a new political force, winning seats in the European Parliament and on local councils across the country.
