Councilmember Larry Seabrook got charged. Oh, man, did he get charged -- 13 counts of fraud. But he's been investigated before, and gotten off. He has some powerful friends. Tom Robbins explains.

Jonathan Richman came back to New York to tell us all about the beautiful world we might see if we would just shut off our cell phones and smell the algae. Rob Harvilla attended.
