Charlton Heston Reads from 'Herzog'

Apr. 22, 2008

 The late Charlton Heston appeared as Moses in The Ten Commandments, but he also read a chapter from Saul Bellow's Herzog, About Moses Herzog, as part of KCRW's Jewish Stories series. We reprise this performance in tribute to him and in honor of Passover. (Airs 2:25-3pm and pre-empts Politics of Culture.)
