Judith Robinson: "Noble Conspirator" (The Francis Press)

Listen Thursday, Sep. 27, 2001 at 12:06 p.m. in Politics

Admit it. Most of us take the NIH for granted these days. But creating a government agency to support bio-medical research was not an "easy sell" when the idea was first proposed. Hear the history of the NIH, and learn the story of Florence Mahoney, the little-known health activist who is often credited with creating it.

Audio archives, transcripts and CDs will be available approximately 15 minutes after the program ends.
