(REBROADCAST) Seeing RedBy Laura Knoy on Wednesday, February 14, 2007.Love is in the air this Valentine's Day and you're sure to be seeing plenty of the color red, whether through hearts, candies, flowers or cards. Red has been the color of passion...and also of power, courage and danger. As far back as history can record, red has taken on special meaning and the red dye cochineal, the most potent natural red dye in the world, was at one time such a luxury that it only trailed silver as New Spain's most valuable export.

Laura's guest is Amy Butler Greenfield, author of "A Perfect Red: Empire, Espionage, and the Quest for the Color of Desire". *This program was originally broadcast on 5/18/05* listen:
