American professors reach out to help a Chinese colleague who fears for his job

When a professor at a Chinese university feared he would lose his job, professors at an American college reached out and tried to help. Plus, our resident history buff tells us about America's 18th Century technology pirates. We meet the Cuban students who have been given permission to study in the US. Also, we hear from the Muslim-American men who are writing about their love lives. And, we speak to actor Michael Rogers, who is portraying Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe on the New York stage.
