William Cole was a member of the Baltimore City Council for 7 years, and now 15 applicants are vying for his seat, which represents more than a dozen neighborhoods. The City’s Charter has a process for filling the seat and Sheilah talks about the process with WYPR reporter Kenneth Burns. We also hear from Cole on what it's like to represent the 11th District, and we learn about major issues in the 11th District from Janet Allen, President of the Heritage Crossing Resident Association.
Then, in a new book, Dr. Jeremy Greene has traced how generics came to be, how they are regulated, what the issues are and new issues cropping up with high-tech drugs. He's called the book, "Generic: The Unbranding of Modern Medicine." He joins Sheilah in the studio.
Plus, theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck reviews "Amadeus" at Center Stage in Baltimore.
