Author Leslie Dunton-Downer says English has been adopted throughout the world to become "Global English," a language of "unprecedented, planetwide recognition and use." We'll talk to Dunton-Downer and ask her if the world really needs a planetary "lingua franca." Later in the hour, the guest will be the editor-in-chief of the new lavishly illustrated, "Opus Vino," Jim Gordon. The book lists 4000 of the world's greatest wineries, and Gordon says midwest wines are growing rapidly in availability and quality.
