Are America's cities drowning in their own success? That's the topic of discussion on NPR's Talk of the Nation as Mayors Willie Brown of San Francisco, Ron Gonzales of San Jose and Paul Grogan of Harvard University join Juan Williams for a live broadcast from the Herbst Theatre in San Francisco in the latest installment of The Changing Face of America series. Streaming audio from the one-hour segment is available on the website.
