Is there any connection between term Indian summer and the term Indian giver? A caller worries that might be the case, but the hosts assure her it's not. By the way, that marvelous cultural history of Indian summer that Martha recommends is Beneath the Second Sun, by Adam Sweeting. This is part of a complete episode.
