How's The Weather?

- New York Times Book Review of Windswept
Hurricane season is still with us. So it's only appropriate that Dick talk to Marq De Villiers (left), about his recently published book, "Windswept". The wind figures in the creation myths of almost all cultures. And despite its destructive power, the wind actually makes life on earth possible. Dick talks to Marq about the mysteries and majesty of the wind.

Haven't you wondered what's on that old reel of film in the box in your attic? Pat Murray did. Pat's family doesn't believe in throwing anything away, and they literally have thousands of old photos and one reel of super eight film. Pat took her film to Home Movie Day, an event that's held every year on the same day in over fifty cities around the world. Pat Murray talks to Dick about her home movie discovery today on The Story.
