Whatever happened to leisure?
TODAY ON THE RADIO: 
88.1 FM WYPR WYPO WYPF
12:00-1:00 pm Eastern: Whatever happened to free time? Whatever happened to privacy? A look at how technology and free markets have transformed American life with Dalton Conley, noted sociologist and author of Elsewhere, U.S.A.: How We Got from the Company Man, Family Dinners, and the Affluent Society to the Home Office, Blackberry Moms, and Economic Anxiety.
1:00-2:00 pm Eastern: Alex Kershaw tells a harrowing story this hour -- how a handful of crew members, including one from Baltimore, survived the sinking of the U.S. Navy sub Tang in 1944. After sinking Japanese cargo ships while on patrol in the Pacific, the Tang's last torpedo boomeranged and sent the sub to the ocean floor. What happened next is chronicled in Kershaw's excellent narative, Escape From the Deep.
