Harvard political scientist Robert Putnam is a self-described full-on 
liberal who worries a lot about community in America.

He made his name in the 1990s with his finding that hordes of Americans 
were, in his famous phrase, "bowling alone" -- living without the 
traditional community ties of bowling leagues and Moose clubs that bound 
people together.

Then he set out on a huge project to find out why. The answer looks like a 
liberal's nightmare: diversity. Diverse communities, Putnam found, show 
dysfunction. At least for a while.

This hour On Point: Robert Putnam, Pat Buchanan and Lani Guinier on 
diversity and community in America.

 Robert Putnam, Professor of Public Policy at Harvard University and author 
of "Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community." · Lani 
Guinier, Professor of Law, Harvard Law School and author of the forthcoming 
"Meritocracy, Inc: How Wealth Became Merit, Class Became Race and Higher 
Education Became a Gift from the Poor to the Rich." · Pat Buchanan, Founder 
and Editor of The American Conservative magazine and author of "State of 
Emergency: The Third World Invasion and Conquest of America
