This morning at 11 ET, I'm going to be on this program with Tom Ashbrook:
Remembering Michael Crichton, from "The Andromeda Strain" to"Jurassic Park," "ER," and "State of Fear." We'll look at the blockbuster master's long reach.
Guests:
Lev Grossman, book critic for TIME magazine.
Lynn Nesbit, Michael Crichton's literary agent. She signed him in 1965 while he was still a medical student.
Chris Mooney, journalist and author of "Storm World: Hurricanes, Politics, and the Battle Over Global Warming" and "The Republican War on Science."
Tune in if you're interested.....

"The Body of an American," the Pogues
