At Morton College in Cicero Thursday, you can visit a “human library.” No, we’re not kidding. It’s a library where you can “check out” a person — like you would a book — to listen to their life story. Each “reader” can ask questions that you might avoid in polite conversation.

Jonathan Schanzer, author of this month's lead article, joins us to discuss Biden's visit to Israel and the seeming delay in Israel's moves to begin the war it must fight in Gaza. What's happening and why? And we spend some time commending the people who are putting their money and their words where their ideas are and hitting colleges and universities in their pocketbooks.
