| Summary |
Program #486 : Title: Rituals of death: capital punishment in America "State execution in America has a history so extensive that it actually precedes the American revolution. The colonies which were more lenient than Britain in much of their legal codes tended to make far greater use of capital punishment. It was seen as a way of demonstrating the costs of depraved behavior. Since humans were viewed as naturally wicked, such "examples" were important. As time passed, controversy grew over the very existence of the death penalty and its somewhat random application. Technology--gas, electric chairs, lethal injection--also added to the debate. Stuart Banner explains this history."--Track sheet. |

Program #589 : Title: The burden of bad ideas "Recent decades have witnessed a number of liberal prescriptions influencing public issues. Conservative social critic Heather MacDonald takes issues with the results of many these policies. In this conversation, she indicated how 'bad ideas' are reflected in everything from welfare policy to museum curatorship."--Track sheet. |
