We look at a campaign in Texas that takes aim at Islamic religious law. Then, the Mexican-American cartoonist Lalo Alcaraz explains why sensitive viewers should avoid his new TV show, ‘Bordertown’. And, we hear how Salvador Dalí and a soft drink helped a poet laureate find his way in the US. Also, we’ve got the story of onetime enemies in Bosnia who are now regulars at the same café in Arizona. An American tourist finds out that his passport is in the hands of smugglers in Turkey. And John Wurdeman tells us how a trip to a record store in the state of Virginia led him to a winery in the country of Georgia.
