Summary

Journalist Nicholas Blanford and jazz singer Anita O'Day on this edition of Fresh Air. Blanford is Beirut correspondent for the Christian Science Monitor and is the author of the book Killing Mr. Lebanon about the assassination in 2005 of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. Then, we remember jazz singer Anita O'Day. She died last week of a heart attack at the age of 87. She was known for her distinctive legato style, the result of a botched childhood tonsillectomy that left her without vibrato. She made her name with the bands of Gene Krupa and Stan Kenton, and later had success as a solo performer. (Broadcast Date: November 29, 2006)
