Hear 60 Minutes producer George Crile and musician Ike Turner on this edition of Fresh Air.
George Crile was a producer for 60 Minutes and 60 Minutes II. He died in 2006. We'll listen to an interview with Crile about his book Charlie Wilson's War: The Extraordinary Story of the Largest Covert Operation in History. A film based on the book will be released this month. During the 1980s, billions of rounds of ammunition and hundreds of thousands of weapons were smuggled into Afghanistan for the Afghan Mujahideen in their fight against the invading Soviet Union. Charlie Wilson was the congressman from east Texas who took up the cause of the Afghan fighters, funneling money their way thru his position on the House Appropriations Committee and with the help of a CIA operative. In the second half of the show, we'll hear from Charlie Wilson himself. He has since retired from Congress and is now a lobbyist. (Original Airdate: 5/13/2003)
Then, Ike Turner, who died this week. He was 76. Turner was responsible for shaping early rock n' roll, co-writing and playing piano on the 1951 song "Rocket 88" with his band Jackie Brenston and his Delta Cats. Turner's legacy as a songwriter and bandleader was tarnished when his ex-wife Tina Turner revealed that their thirteen year marriage was marred with drug abuse and domestic violence. Ike Turner discovered singer Anna Mae Bullock in 1958 and renamed her Tina Turner. Soon after, she joined his renamed band, the Ike and Tina Turner Revue. (Original Airdate: 8/22/1996) [Broadcast Date: December 14, 2007]

How can we look afresh at Shakespeare as a writer of sonnets? What new light might they shed on his career, personality, and sexuality? Shakespeare wrote sonnets for at least 30 years, not only for himself, for professional reasons, and for those he loved, but also in his plays, as prologues, as epilogues, and as part of their poetic texture.

Americans wage many of today’s fiercest policy debates and culture wars over constitutional meaning. It’s because constitutional law is so fundamental to our democracy that law schools across the country teach the subject. It's the area of law that determines what federal and state governments are permitted to do, and what rights you have as an individual citizen of the US. Here, you'll get the same accessible, well-rounded introduction to constitutional law as a typical law student - but with the added benefit of noted constitutional scholar Eric Berger's brilliant insights.

Universally acclaimed as a musical genius, Miles Davis was one of the most important and influential musicians in the world. Here, Miles speaks out about his extraordinary life. Miles: The Autobiography, like Miles himself, holds nothing back. For the first time Miles talks about his five-year silence. He speaks frankly and openly about his drug problem and how he overcame it. He condemns the racism he encountered in the music business and in American society generally. And he discusses the women in his life.
