Reflections

James Naughtie talks to leading political figures about their lives in politics, starting with Jerry Brown, former governor of California. He reflects on the importance of limits in the Jesuitical and Buddhist traditions, and how he took that idea into politics; and how his views on forgiveness informed his decisions to commute the sentences of people on California's Death Row.
