Earth, Wind & Fire…and Power Outages in San Diego County?

Downed power lines have been blamed for numerous fires throughout the western U.S., and a few especially big fires in California.  Now San Diego's electric utility is taking a novel approach to the problem, planning to cut power to rural areas of the county during the fire season's hot and windy days.  While the fire risk might be abated as many as 150,000 San Diego residents will lose power during those days—is the solution more extreme than the problem?

Representative from San Diego Gas & Electric Co.

Vixen, Victim, or Ingénue Au Pair?

It's the babysitter! It is the first job for most American girls and a role that has always made for great pop-culture characters. But what is it about the emerging power of a teenage girl that makes people so uncomfortable? Is the hand that rocks the cradle really the hand that rules the world?

 

Guests:

Miriam Forman-Brunell, Professor of History at the University of Missouri, Kansas City and author of "Babysitter: An American History"
