This morning at 11 ET, I'm going to be on this program with Tom Ashbrook:
Remembering Michael Crichton, from "The Andromeda Strain" to"Jurassic Park," "ER," and "State of Fear." We'll look at the blockbuster master's long reach.

Lynn Nesbit, Michael Crichton's literary agent. She signed him in 1965 while he was still a medical student.
Chris Mooney, journalist and author of "Storm World: Hurricanes, Politics, and the Battle Over Global Warming" and "The Republican War on Science."
