Across the U.S. and Europe it’s ski season, and Simon Mills will join us with his report on an exclusive destination in France that was once the domain of oligarchs and that has now been taken over by a very different group of high-rollers. Then, if you were in New York in the 1980s, you surely remember the infamous “Preppy Killer”—a 19-year-old named Robert Chambers who met an 18-year-old Jennifer Levin in an Upper East Side bar and strangled her later that night in Central Park. It was a killing that captivated the city, and Cynthia Weiner is out with a new novel that revisits the crime. She’ll be with us to talk about her connection to the story. And finally, Linda Wells joins us to discuss the latest trends in health and wellness.
