Matt Crawford speaks with author Judith Pearson about her book, Crusade to Heal America: The Remarkable Life of Mary Lasker. "I am opposed to heart disease and cancer the way one is opposed to sin." With that her battle cry, health activist and philanthropist Mary Woodard Lasker had a singular goal: saving lives by increasing medical research. The way medical research is conducted, funded and fundraised is still impacted by Mary and Albert Lasker. As only Pearson can we are taken into the Lasker's lives and into their battle.
