Then Adele Chasson explains how French laws are being used to challenge the worst offenders.AND Larry Sanders (Bernie’s big bro!) talks about the presidential primaries, his brother’s first election and why he thinks a democratic socialist could make it to the White House.Subscribe to the Cheerful Book Club feed.
