    When Yellowstone's most famous wolf was shot and killed -- legally – by a hunter, her death became an international story almost immediately. Guest host Judy Muller looks at the ongoing debate about the role of the wolf in modern-day America. Also, fighting escalates in Syria as the US recognizes the opposition coalition, and a look at the legendary Ravi Shankar, the man who introduced Indian music to much of the western world.
