Tea Party Hip-Hop & Edith Wharton

Studio 360

As Election Day approaches, the Tea Party gets out its message with help from a folksinger and a hip-hop MC. Pee-wee Herman — the oddball of 1980s children’s TV — prepares for his Broadway debut. And our series on American Icons continues with a look at Edith Wharton’s groundbreaking novel, The House of Mirth.
