Also this hour: We consider Houston’s role in international business and culture and whether that is changing lately.

Then, we revisit a conversation from last year with Bryan Burrough, author of The Gunfighters, about the role Texas played in the rise of Old West legends.

And we learn how Texas helped shape aviation in America, the subject of an exhibit called Made in Texas at the Lone Star Flight Museum.
