Wish I'd Been Listening More Closely

I recently learned that Kurt Andersen, who wrote Turn of the Century, a book I read and liked back at the turn of the century, is the host of Studio 360 broadcast on one of the local NPR stations. I've been listening to that for years while working in the kitchen. Now I'll pay much closer attention.

While I know I liked Turn of the Century, I don't remember much about it--just that I was concerned about a couple of characters at the very end.
