About this listen
David Rohde teaches at Duke University. This year's primary race has a renewed focus on the delegate system. Delegates, superdelegates, penalized states with zero or half their delegates....What does it all mean? Rohde will join us to talk about the primaries and how the withdrawals of John Edwards and Rudy Giuliani will affect the campaigns.
Then Adrian Tomine, an Asian American artist about which many fans and critics have wondered when would he would address race in his work. He finally does in his new book Shortcomings. Ben Tanaka, the graphic novel's main character, is a movie-theater owner who is having trouble with his long-term girlfriend, Miko Hayashi. She suspects that he's attracted to white women. She's right, but he won't admit it. Tomine's previous work includes Scrapbook and Summer Blonde. He began his career with a series of ongoing comics called Optic Nerve.
And David Bianculli looks at the new season of Lost. The show has its season premiere tonight. [Broadcast Date: January 31, 2008]
