Midday with Dan Rodricks
Baltimore Sun media critic David Zurawik returns to Midday for his weekly take on television.
The effort to allow citizens, regardless of sexual orientation, to serve in the U.S. military was legislated in 1993. Don't Ask Don't Tell prohibited the military from barring gay, bisexual or lesbian personnel from serving but the law also created a legacy of secretive behavior that frequently led to discrimination within the ranks. Until now. The Pentagon has announced the repeal of the bill which is set for September 20. Skip Muller and Jeff Petrie are graduates of the U.S.
This hour, cocky West Coast frat boy turned military leader, Lt. Matt Gallagher reflects on his 15-month deployment in Iraq. Gallagher is the author of Kaboom: Embracing the Suck in a Savage Little War, a blunt and humorous day-by-day account of life as an American soldier fighting an ugly war, turning chaos into order.

This hour, it's all about fonts. Bodoni Ultra Bold, Comic Sans (agggh!), Baskerville Old Face, Gotham - how all those fonts came to be. British journalist Simon Garfield examines why there are more than 100,000 type faces in the world, and how they make different impressions, and what your personal taste in a font says about you. If there is a font you like - or one that you wonder about - let us know in advance so we can post the font on our Facebook page.
The U.S. Census lists Maryland as the 5th densest state in the nation and projections figure that one million people will be added by the year 2035. Governor Martin O’Malley unveiled a master plan in April to curb the suburban sprawl that comes with such population explosion, called Plan Maryland. The state proposes to reward communities that embrace efficient and responsible growth while withholding funding from those that don’t control development. Local leaders cried foul, complaining that the plan is akin to a state take-over of what should be local domain.
An account of life in Baltimore during the Second World War, from WYPR's own Gilbert Sandler (Baltimore Stories). Sandler transports us back to an indelible era of Baltimore history in his new book Homefront Baltimore: An Album of Stories from World War II.
Juan Williams was fired by NPR last October after he made a remark about Muslims on the Fox News Channel. Since then, he has received both applause and criticism from the American public and media, and his termination churned up a rancorous debate over free speech. In his new book, Muzzled: The Assault on Honest Debate, Williams shows how in today's partisan world, the honest exchange of ideas - on the airwaves, on talk shows, and in print media - is stifled. Williams joins Dan in Studio A.
