Our guest is Dan Kildee, President of the Genesee County Land Bank.
Gary Hart
A conversation with the former senator and presidential candidate about the Democratic super delegates and how the candidates are courting them. Hart nearly won the 1984 presidential nomination but Walter Mondale edged him out by attracting more super delegates.
Clemens Showdown
Former baseball pitching great Roger Clemens returns to Capitol Hill tomorrow to answer questions about steroid use from members of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. Clemens' former trainer, Brian McNamee, who will also appear before the committee, said he injected Clemens with performance enhancing drugs during Clemens' days with the New York Yankees. Clemens denies the accusation. Brian Costello, a reporter for the New York Post, joins us to sort it all out.
Modern Love
Every Sunday in the New York Times Style section, contributors share stories of their relationships in the "Modern Love" column.

Brendan's and other pieces were reprinted in the book "Modern Love: 50 True and Extraordinary Tales of Desire, Deceit, and Devotion".
