How can we integrate history into reporting and popular culture? On the next Your Call, we welcome Lewis Lapham, former editor of Harper's Magazine. He’s now the founder and editor of Lapham’s Quarterly. The magazine’s motto is: finding the present in the past, the past in the present. In his essays and reporting, Lapham has long included examples from the past to illuminate the day's events. What historical examples do you think we should be paying attention to today? It's Your Call with me, Rose Aguilar, and you.

Your Call 121207 Lewis Lapham: Learning from the Past
Your Call 121107 On the Record: John Edwards
What do we need to know about the Democratic Presidential hopeful John Edwards? On the next Your Call, we continue our On the Record series about presidential candidates’ voting records and campaign contributions. Up next: John Edwards, former Democratic Senator from North Carolina. He has taken a populist position on the campaign trail, often talking about “two Americas” and corporate corruption. He also often slams NAFTA and outsourcing. Does his voting record match his rhetoric and promises? It’s Your Call, with me, Rose Aguilar, and you.
Guests:
James Ridgeway, Mother Jones' senior correspondent in Washington D.C.
Bob Geary, staff writer with Independent Weekly in Durham, N.C.
