The Scramble reacts to new developments in the University of Virginia case of alleged sexual assault and Rolling Stone’s concern about some its reporting.
Then there's a second magazine story: what’s behind the mass -- and we do mean mass -- resignations at The New Republic. Most of its full-time staff and stable of contributing editors quit on the same day. Why?
We also continue the conversation about race in America, and in particular in the northeast. Our guest shares stories of de facto racism in places like Connecticut, where baseball legend Jackie Robinson had a difficult time buying a house after his big break into Major League Baseball.
