wildlife conservation efforts. A panel talks about the science behind
this work and how it's helped both animals and people.

Genomic Diversity at the National Cancer Institute; Dr. Rob

11-12: John Colapinto: Author John Colapinto's new book "As Nature
Made Him" (Harper Collins) tells the shocking story of a botched
infant circumcision that a doctor and the boy's parents tried to
remedy by raising the child as a girl. The subject of the book, a man
named David Reimer, joins Colapinto to share his story.



    Fresh Air with Terry Gross, 12:06-1 p.m.

We talk about what many call the bloodiest race riot in US History:
the Tulsa Riot of 1921. Earlier this month, an Oklahoma state panel
recommended that the state and city pay reparations to some 80 black
survivors and heirs. We meet survivor Keeney Booker, and law
professor Alfred Brophy, who worked with the state commission.
