The Stamberg Files: Essays, Audio Tours and Interviews -- Susan Stamberg pulls some pieces she's proud of from the NPR audio archives: She knits her way though history, takes us on a personal tour of DC, and tries to interest her colleagues in resurrecting her Relish recipe. Stamberg talks with economist Milton Friedman, actor Judi Dench, writer Nora Ephron and pianist Leon Fleisher. In pursuit of patriotism, Ms. Stamberg de-France-ifies popular culture, then ends in a Parisian park, chatting with a world-class conversationalist.

Asia Society: Robert Thurman Why the Dalai Lama Matters -- In Why the Dalai Lama Matters, renowned Tibetan Buddhist scholar Robert Thurman offers a bold plan for establishing Tibet's genuine autonomy within China.

It offers a revealing, provocative solution for a world in conflict, addressing the very fundamentals of human rights and freedoms.
