Wednesday, January 1, 2014

Season 2014 Episode 10 | 54m 01s

On the program tonight, the new year rings in new laws across the United States. We look at the first state to make the recreational use of marijuana legal, and a new law on furniture flammability standards. Also, changes for the GED exam, the origins of political partisanship in the U.S., a conversation with activist Malala Yousafzai and a new album of little-heard Beatles music.

Aired: 12/31/13 | Expires: 12/31/69
