Iraq & Company
Studio 360 looks at how the war in Iraq is affecting the culture back home. Kurt Andersen talks with Jane Smiley, who set her sexy novel Ten Days in the Hills against the tense backdrop of the opening days of the invasion in 2003. And we’ll see how the war’s harsh realities get hashed out in a distant sector of the universe, in Battlestar Galactica. And a group of young soldiers sit for a portrait series by photographer Suzanne Opton. Later in the show, stars from Broadway’s Company, the Stephen Sondheim musical, stop by to perform in the studio.
