PRI’s The World: 03/07/2014

The World

Carnival wraps up in Brazil this weekend. This year, some in Rio are using the parties and parades to protest government spending on the upcoming soccer World Cup.

And, our Geo Quiz asks which European country recently got a new prime minister, who then named an equal number of women and men to his cabinet?

Also, we catch up with Suzanne Massie, who from 1984 to 19878 advised President Ronald Reagan on the Russian world view.
