FoundDownload audio (MP3) Five-hundred years after he died in
battle, scientists have discovered the skeleton of King Richard
III under a British parking lot. The short-reigned monarch is
known as a Machiavellian hunchback who purportedly committed
atrocious murders on his journey to the throne. But the king has
modern day supporters who say he was unfairly maligned both by
the Tudor monarchs who succeeded him and in William
Shakespeare's portrayal. We discuss the finding and the legacy
of King Richard III. Host: Michael Krasny - Henry Chu, London

Sciences - Rosemary Joyce, professor of anthropology at UC
