NPR's All Thing's Considered

Dubai Economic Crisis Hits The World

Is Dubai too big too fail? Earlier this week, officials in the Gulf state announced they needed more time to repay $60 billion in money borrowed to build lavish hotels, manmade islands and the world's tallest skyscraper. World markets slumped because of the news. Economist Simon Johnson, former chief economist for the International Monetary Fund, and Christopher Davidson, author of Dubai: The Vulnerability of Success, discuss the big impact made by the tiny emirate.

A Texan Twist To Visions Of The Holiday Season

For the last three years, journalist Hank Steuver spent the holiday seasons embedded in the Dallas suburb of Frisco. The result is his new book, Tinsel: A Search for America's Christmas Present. Steuver, a writer with the Style section of The Washington Post, goes to the mall and talks about how his Texas adventures gave him a different picture of the holiday season.

In Movie, A New Look At Orson Welles

Filmmaker Richard Linklater is taking on another auteur for his latest picture, Me and Orson Welles. The movie targets Welles' early years with the Mercury Theatre. Linklater discusses that phase of Welles' career and the unknown actor chosen to play him, Christian McKay.

Yemen Tries To Break Addiction To Popular Leaf

The Gulf state of Yemen faces a raft of political and security troubles — not to mention a looming water crisis that experts say is exacerbated by the country’s devotion to qat, a mildly narcotic leaf Yemenis love to chew. Growing qat is draining Yemen's scarce water supply. Recently, however, new anti-qat campaigns have begun to spring up around the country.

In 'The Road,' World Ends With Whimper

The Road's grim vision sold a lot of books, but was regarded as so unlikely to attract a movie audience that it sat on Hollywood's shelf for more than a year. Talk circulated about attempts to sweeten it. But it seems unlikely that many viewers will complain that the movie is insufficiently bleak. There may be other complaints.

In New Ad, Chair Floats To Space

A new TV ad features an unassuming orange armchair making a trip to the edge of space. The video of the chair's ascent while tethered to a balloon has gone viral, popping up in e-mail inboxes around the world. Andy Amadeo, the director of the spot, discusses the ad.

Beatles, Ukulele-Style

What could be better than 12 hours of nonstop Beatles music? How about 12 hours of nonstop Beatles music played on the ukulele? Roger Greenawalt, the man who plays the Beatles' works the way he claims they were meant to be played, ukulele-style, shows off the tunes.

Rectangles Vs. Triangles: The Great Sandwich Debate

You've got a lot of decisions to make as you build that leftover turkey sandwich. One decision you'll probably make with ease is whether to cut the sandwich into triangles or rectangles. If you go for the diagonal slice, you're in good company. Chefs, foodies, an architect and even a mathematician all told us: Diagonal rules. But why?

Want To Break Up? Tis The Season, So Better Hurry

It's not just turkeys that get nervous this time of year. Chances are high that a failing relationship will also meet its end during the holidays. That's because it's not just turkey season — it's turkey drop season.

Secret Service Apologizes For Party Crashers

The Secret Service has formally apologized for allowing two party crashers into the White House state dinner on Tuesday night. The Secret Service continues to investigate how the husband and wife — who are looking for a role in a reality TV show — got past security and actually met the president. Melissa Blocks talks with Roxanne Roberts of The Washington Post.
