About this listen
Journalist Jeffrey Goldberg and writer, actor, director, comedian, and radio host Harry Shearer on this edition of Fresh Air. Jeffrey Goldberg's article in the current New Yorker magazine is about Saddam Hussein's chemical attacks on the Kurds in 1988. There is also new evidence of Hussein's ties to Al Qaeda. Goldberg has been a staff writer at The New Yorker since 2000. His specialty is foreign reporting with an emphasis on Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Goldberg came to The New Yorker from The New York Times magazine, where he reported from Africa and the Middle East. Harry Shearer's new film, which he wrote and directed, is called Teddy Bear's Picnic. It's a satire of the goings-on at the Bohemian Grove, an exclusive retreat in the Northern California woods. The richest and most powerful men gather in the Grove. Their activities are kept secret, but a lot of drinking is involved. Shearer visited the Grove in order to write the script. Picnic opens March 29. Shearer hosts Le Show, now in its 19th year on public radio. (Broadcast Date: March 27, 2002)
