This is a two-part item and you must access both parts. Part One is an audiotext of an interview by Tom Ashbrook on his NPR radio program On Point
of the author who published the article below (part two) on the Mexican

Questions for you to ponder: Do you think race had something to do with
the fact that the Attorney General was voted by the Republican

the United States so obsessed with guns (unlike any other country on
this planet)? How does the issue of class come into play in this obsession?
