A panel of journalists joins Diane for review and analysis of the week’s top national and international news stories.

Guests

Karen Tumulty, reporter, "Time" magazine

Martin Walker, United Press International

John Parker, Washington bureau chief for "The Economist"

11:00John Kelly: "The Great Mortality" (HarperCollins)

The Black Death killed a third of the known global population in the middle of the 14th century. A writer specializing in science and medicine draws on first-hand accounts to paint an intimate portrait of the greatest natural disaster to afflict humanity. He looks at new theories claiming the outbreak was not bubonic plague, but perhaps anthrax or a disease like Ebola.

Guests

John Kelly, author or coauthor of nine previous books, including "Three on the Edge: The Story of Ordinary Families in Search of a Medical Miracle."
