Today on Word of Mouth, we learn about global water shortages. One in six people lack access to safe drinking water. Now a freshwater crisis is brewing in our own backyards, and analysts predict "peak water," when our unquenchable demand will overwhelm supply, is imminent. We also hear a New Hampshire classical music composer's new work about the Holocaust, get a review of the new indie flick "The Vistor," and look at a new Washington, D.C. bike-share program.
