Richard Rodriguez on PBS

I always admired Richard Rodriguez, thanks to my English teacher's introduction of the book Hunger of Memory my junior or senior year of high school. Watching today's News Hour with Jim Lehrer, I found this outstanding Mexican American writer establishing correlations between the 'lost boys' in Africa and Mumbai to those in our own country. One more reason why I love PBS, they bring those models that I've only read about into life.
