First up: drama erupts at a post-primary election meeting held by the Democrats. Reporter Tyler Pager tells us about proxy voting, and how one man—Frank Seddio—trumped the over 500 committee members with a single vote that counts for 500. Then, Brooklyn author and journalist Nick McDonell discusses his new book ‘Bodies in Person: An Account of Civilian Casualties in American Wars.”  Since George W. Bush announced the Global War on Terrorism in 2001, American and allied invasions and bombing campaigns have resulted in an untallied number of civilian casualties.
