10-11: End-of-Life Care: The past decade has seen a tremendous surge

other programs that treat death as a natural, though often difficult,
part of human life.

11-12: Chinua Achebe: Nigerian novelist Chinua Achebe ("CHIN yewah ah
CHEH bay") joins Diane to discuss African literature and how it's
been influenced by Western culture.  In his new book "Home and Exile"
(Oxford University Press) he reflects on how European colonization
affected his own childhood and education, and on how imperialism's
traces are still felt throughout the African continent.
