Business Beat: Russ Davis Sunday, December 15, 10PM
My guest is Russ Davis, executive director of Massachusetts Jobs with Justice, which partners with Raise Up Massachusetts. Public Eye: Linda McRobbie Sunday, December 15, 10:30PM You think you know their story. You've read about royalty and you cheered as these virtuous women lived happily ever after. But the lives of real princesses couldn't be more different. Sure, many were graceful and benevolent leaders-but just as many were ruthless in their quest for power, and all of them had skeletons rattling in their royal closets. Tune in this Sunday evening at 10:30 when Al is joined by author Linda McRobbie. Her new book 'Princesses Behaving Badly" paints a much different picture of those whose royal blood really boils.
