This week, Alexandra Wolfe, daughter of the writer Tom Wolfe, reveals why her father excelled at the literary feud, skewering everyone from Norman Mailer to Anthony Haden-Guest. Then Alessandra Stanley explains why the people who just might save humanity are also the most loathed people on earth: lawyers. And finally, J. Clara Chan reports from Los Angeles on Harvard-Westlake, the prestigious prep school that has seen three student suicides in the past six months—and left administrators scrambling. All this and more make this a show you won’t want to miss.
