Typhoon Season Raises Concerns About Fukushima Plant

STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:


Good morning, I'm Steve Inskeep. When "The Godfather" came out in 1972, a young New York lawyer named Mario Cuomo did not see it. He objected to stereotyping Italian-Americans. Cuomo went on to serve as governor of New York and father of a governor and still didn't see the movie. But as first reported by the New York Times, he finally ended his 41-year boycott. He still says the film sends a horrible message, but he adds, maybe this thing was a masterpiece. It's MORNING EDITION.
