World AIDS Day Every year on December 1,
countries around the world commemorate World AIDS
Day. An estimated 34 million people worldwide have HIV/AIDS.
In the greater Sacramento area, over 5,000 people are
infected with the disease, 1,000 of which do not even know. Emily
Tsuchida, nurse practitioner at the Center for Aids
Research, Education & Services (CARES), joins us to share
her experiences with treating HIV positive patients.
Lee Child If you haven't heard of
author Lee
Child, the name "Jack Reacher" might be more familiar. Jack is
Lee's character in a series of novels, and will be played by Tom
Cruise in the upcoming movie "Jack Reacher." Lee returns to
SacramentoThursday for the Bee Book Club, and we'll
talk with him in our studio before his evening event.
Rockwell Models Fifty years ago, 12-year old
Thornton Percival's face was made famous in prints by Norman
Rockwell, who used him as a model for a series of Boy Scouts
illustrations. The not-so-well known part of the story: He
was never actually a Boy Scout. He'll be at the Crocker Art Museum this Sunday but joins us
today, along with the museum's Rika Nelson and Lial Jones, to
discuss the part he played in the Norman Rockwell legacy.
