Charlie Rose with Rahm Emanuel; Henry Waxman; Mira Nair & Jhumpa Lahiri (March 19, 2007) (DVD)

First, a conversation with Democratic Congressman Rahm Emanuel of Illinois about the controversy surrounding the firings of federal prosecutors and the demand for the resignation of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. He discusses the prosecutors' investigations and offers his insight into who might testify and whether or not executive privilege will be invoked. Then, a discussion with Democratic Congressman Henry Waxman of California, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. He talks about the power of subpoena, his committee's hearing on the CIA leak case with Valerie Plame, and their hearing on climate change. Finally, an interview with filmmaker Mira Nair, director of "The Namesake", and Jhumpa Lahiri, the author of the best-selling book that the film is based on. They discuss the story, which follows two generations of Indians seeking the American dream while trying to preserve a sense of their own Indian heritage, and the process of bringing the tale from the page to the screen.
