Why nothing is as it seems, not in presidential politics, not in Pakistan,
and not with the economy, tonight on "Washington Week." Gov. Mitt Romney
said, "I don't think the Republican Party is going to choose a pro-choice,
pro-gay civil union candidate to lead our party." Oh, yes? Don't tell that to
Pat Robertson. Pat Robertson said, "To me the overriding issue before the
American people is the defense of our population from the bloodlust of
Islamic terrorists." But Republican frontrunner Rudy Giuliani has New York
baggage and other candidates like John McCain aren't giving up just yet. Sen.
Sam Brownback said, "I'm here today to endorse the best pro-life candidate to
beat Hillary Clinton." For the Democrats tonight, it's all about Iowa. Will
one of them break out of the pack in the nation's first voting state? In
Washington, President Bush and Congress try to assert control over a slippery
ally, as Pakistan's government crackdown enters its second week. And follow
the bouncing ball: oil prices, housing woes, and an unpredictable stock
market. Are we headed toward recession? Covering the week: Gloria Borger of
CNN and U.S. News and World Report, Dan Balz of the "Washington Post," Janine
Zacharia of Bloomberg News, and David Wessel, of the "Wall Street Journal."

In one of documentary cinema's more remarkable enterprises, "49 Up" makes its U.S. broadcast premiere
as the seventh in a series of films that has profiled a group of English children every seven years,
beginning in 1964. Renowned director Michael Apted (Coal Miner's Daughter, Gorky Park, Gorillas in the
Mist, Amazing Grace) has doggedly pursued the series as the children have grown into adults, navigating
the divide between childhood dreams and adult realities. The film revisits questions of love, marriage,
career, class and prejudice - discovering unexpected turns in individual lives and surprising views of the
"Up" film series itself. By Michael Apted.

In the mid-1950s, Bob Newhart was just your average accountant. He was
moonlighting for a local radio station, writing and performing comedy
sketches. Somewhere along the way, he realized his motto of "That's close
enough" meant he wasn't cut out for a life of balancing the books. Lucky for
us. Host Alan Rosenberg talks with the venerable comedian about his fiftysome years in show biz, and living life with grace, vitality and humor. And
there is much to talk about.

positive economic results. The Minnesota state government plays a key role in wind policy, begging the

When the federal government ended its 60-plus years of price support to
tobacco farmers in 2004, Virginians were hit particularly hard. NOW travels
to the mountainous farmlands of Appalachia to meet farmers who’ve attempted
the difficult switch from tobacco to increasingly popular organic produce.
Among those profiled is restaurant owner Steven Hopp who, along with his wife
-- acclaimed author Barbara Kingsolver -- spent a year living off the land.
Social entrepreneur Anthony Flaccavento founded an Enterprising Idea called
“Appalachian Sustainable Development” to help local farmers and markets make
the transition not just to organic, but to local organic. Can local farmers
change course and crops and still survive in a shifting economy? Also on the
show, David Brancaccio interviews prominent environmentalist Bill McKibben
about his “National Day of Climate Action” on November 3, and what we can all
do to fight global warming.

Addiction is not limited to certain social classes, nor to a person who fits
a certain "profile." Neither does it refer exclusively to abuse of or
dependence on illegal drugs or alcohol. It does refer to a condition in
which people cannot control their craving for a substance. But while alcohol
and illegal drugs grab all the headlines, one can be addicted to a wide range
of substances or even activities. In this Second Opinion episode, the patient
is a health-care professional addicted to a medication that helps her cope
with headaches.

THE GOOD WAR AND THOSE WHO REFUSED TO FIGHT IT tells the story of the conscientious
objectors who refused to fight in World War II. Twelve thousand of these men performed alternative
services during the war - as medical guinea pigs, fire jumpers, attendants in mental institutions and in
Civil Public Service Work Camps - while another 6,000 spent the war years in prison. The film explains
how their actions prepared a generation of nonviolent activists that would change American society.
Producer: Judith Ehrlich and Rick Tejada-Flores.

Samuel Longhorne Clemens, alias Mark Twain, is regarded by many as America's greatest writer. Ernest
Hemmingway said all American writing begins with Huckleberry Finn. Twain's talents made him the
greatest global American celebrity of his time. But beyond the witty turns of phrase and social critique,
there was a man who drank and gambled too much, who went bankrupt, who could be viciously mean,
and was a deserter from the confederate army. So who was the real Mark Twain?

After an overview of the Second World War, which engulfed the world from 1939 to 1945 and cost at least
50 million lives, inhabitants of four towns - Mobile, Alabama; Sacramento, California; Waterbury,
Connecticut; and Luverne, Minnesota - recall their communities on the eve of the conflict. For them, the
events overseas seem far away. Their tranquil lives are shattered by the Japanese attack on Pearl
Harbor, and America is thrust into the great cataclysm. Along with millions of other young men, Sid

Phillips and Willie Rushton of Mobile, Ray Leopold of Waterbury and Walter Thompson and Burnett Miller
of Sacramento enter the armed forces. In the Philippines, two Americans, Corporal Glenn Frazier and
Sascha Weinzheimer (who was eight years old in 1941), are caught up in the Japanese onslaught there,
as American and Filipino forces retreat onto Bataan while thousands of civilians are rounded up and
imprisoned in Manila. Back home, 110,000 Japanese Americans along the West Coast are forcibly
relocated by the government to internment camps. On the East Coast, German U-boats menace Allied
shipping offshore. The United States seems unprepared for this kind of total war. Witnessing all of this is
Katharine Phillips of Mobile and Al McIntosh, editor of the Rock County Star Herald in Luverne, who
chronicles the travails of every family in town. In June 1942, the Navy manages a victory over the
Japanese at the Battle of Midway. In August, American land forces, including Sid Phillips of Mobile, face
the Japanese army for the first time at Guadalcanal. Abandoned by their fleet with no sea or air support,
the men are under constant attack. After six months, the Americans finally prevail and, in the process,
stop Japan's expansion in the Pacific.

This is a quintessentially Midwestern story of an unassuming, self-doubting man who, through expressing
his unique view of the world, redefined the comic art form. His genius lay in depicting the daily collisions
of insiders and outsiders, of mundane cruelties and transcendent hopes - seeing the extraordinary in the
ordinary. The "Peanuts" cast of characters is as familiar to us as our own siblings; their trials and
tribulations speak of our families and evoke our childhood desperations. They are portrayed with whimsy
and poignancy - and always with love and tolerance, each representing different facets of Schulz'
personality and his perspectives on 20th-century America.

The premiere hour features four distinctly different artists whose works pose questions about the role of
emotion, regret, fantasy and nostalgia in contemporary art. Laurie Simmons' first feature film, The Music
of Regret, gave her an opportunity to bring her photography to life. Staging scenes with puppets,
ventriloquist dummies and dancers costumed as everyday objects (a book, a clock, a cake), Simmons
creates a nostalgic world that explores the sentiments of love and romance among family and neighbors.
Lari Pittman draws inspiration from a childhood that allowed him to be creative and imaginative, as well
as from an acute awareness of our country's attitude toward the gay community. His meticulously layered
paintings transform decoration, pattern and signage into elaborate scenes that sweep viewers away with
their dizzying complexity. Sculptor Judy Pfaff designed an exhibition around the sadness and loss she
experienced following the deaths of several of her closest friends and family members. Balancing intense
planning with improvisational decision-making on site, Pfaff creates a sprawling sculptural installation that
explores the worlds of black and white and blends landscape and architecture into an organic whole.
Pierre Huyghe uses various forms of expression to create new worlds and investigate the circulation of
stories. His films, installations and public projects closely examine culture and boundaries and use
playfulness and humor as a way to address complex social topics. From an expedition in Antarctica to a
small-town parade, Huyghe thrives on the production and documentation of new and scripted realities.

America's attitudes about racial and religious integration. They were the starting 5 of the City College of
New York (CCNY) Basketball team. They are the only team ever to win the NIT and the NCAA
tournament in the same year. The following season a point shaving scandal would eclipse the team's
brilliant accomplishment and darken college basketball for years to come. Today-in another of Think

Was the first colony to give legal recognition to the institution of slavery
a northern or southern state? The answer to that question is one of many
surprising facts about the history of slavery in America. Journalist Anne
Farrow, co-author of "Complicity: How the North Promoted, Prolonged, and

After an overview of the Second World War, which engulfed the world from 1939
to 1945 and cost at least 50 million lives, inhabitants of four towns Mobile, Alabama; Sacramento, California; Waterbury, Connecticut; and Luverne,
Minnesota - recall their communities on the eve of the conflict. For them,
the events overseas seem far away. Their tranquil lives are shattered by the
Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, and America is thrust into the great
cataclysm. Along with millions of other young men, Sid Phillips and Willie
Rushton of Mobile, Ray Leopold of Waterbury and Walter Thompson and Burnett
Miller of Sacramento enter the armed forces. In the Philippines, two
Americans, Corporal Glenn Frazier and Sascha Weinzheimer (who was eight years
old in 1941), are caught up in the Japanese onslaught there, as American and
Filipino forces retreat onto Bataan while thousands of civilians are rounded
up and imprisoned in Manila. Back home, 110,000 Japanese Americans along the
West Coast are forcibly relocated by the government to internment camps. On
the East Coast, German U-boats menace Allied shipping offshore. The United
States seems unprepared for this kind of total war. Witnessing all of this is
Katharine Phillips of Mobile and Al McIntosh, editor of the Rock County Star
Herald in Luverne, who chronicles the travails of every family in town. In
June 1942, the Navy manages a victory over the Japanese at the Battle of
Midway. In August, American land forces, including Sid Phillips of Mobile,
face the Japanese army for the first time at Guadalcanal. Abandoned by their
fleet with no sea or air support, the men are under constant attack. After
six months, the Americans finally prevail and, in the process, stop Japan's
expansion in the Pacific.

This film examines the visceral nature of war and the bravery of Native
American veterans who valiantly served in the United States military during
the wars of the 20th century, and explores the paradox of these proud
veterans who chose to fight for a country that considered them outside the
American mainstream. These gripping stories are told against the backdrop of
positive and negative themes familiar to Native Americans - the warrior
ethic, prejudice, forced assimilation, poverty, cultural pride, redemptive
acts and healing - through the prism of what it means to be "ogichidaa," or
one who protects and follows the ways of the warrior. Way of the Warrior uses
historical footage, period photographs and sound effects of war laid next to
more comfortable stateside settings of family and friends, reflecting the
complexity of Native American warriors' motivations.

Irving Berlin pulled himself up from poverty on New York's Lower East Side to
become America's most famous and enduring songwriter. Born Israel Baline in
Belarus, then part of the Russian empire, on May 11, 1888, he immigrated with
his family to America at age five and later taught himself rudimentary piano
while working as a singing waiter in a bar and brothel in New York's
Chinatown. By age twenty-three, he was the wunderkind of Tin Pan Alley with
more than two hundred hit songs and hundreds more to come--songs like "White
Christmas," "Easter Parade," and "God Bless America." Who was Irving Berlin,
and what does his music say about America?

THINK TANK WITH BEN WATTENBERG
Irving Berlin's America (Part Two)

12/6/2007 7:30:00 PM/504
PBS-PLUS
News
This week Think Tank with Ben Wattenberg takes a look at "Irving Berlin's
America," Part Two of a two-part show. From Ragtime to Swing and from
Broadway to Hollywood, Irving Berlin's music defined American songwriting for
more than half a century. Songs like "God Bless America," "There's No
Business Like Show Business," "Cheek to Cheek," and "White Christmas." Fully
half of his eight hundred and ninety-nine published tunes went on to become
hits. Two hundred and eighty-two reached the top ten on the popular charts;
thirty-five went to number one. Berlin's music reflects an almost instinctive
understanding of the culture and the early events of what has been called the
American century. His songs capture the heart of small town America and the
brass of Broadway. Who was Irving Berlin? What is there about his music that
still stirs and unites Americans? To find out, Think Tank is joined by Linda
Emmet, the second of Irving Berlin's three daughters, and music historian
Robert Kimball, co-editors of the just-published book, "The Complete Lyrics
of Irving Berlin," and Philip Furia, professor at the University of North
Carolina at Wilmington and author of "Irving Berlin, a Life in Song."

In 1966, General Motors, then the most powerful corporation in the world,
sent private investigators to dig up dirt on an obscure 32-year-old public
interest lawyer named Ralph Nader. The reason: Nader had written a book that
criticized the Corvair, a General Motors car. But the company’s attempt to

discredit Nader and sully his character backfired. The scandal that ensued
after the smear campaign was revealed launched Nader into national prominence
and established him as the leader of the modern American consumer movement.
AN UNREASONABLE MAN traces the life and career of this unique and
controversial political figure. When most people hear his name, they think of
the political "spoiler" who cost the Democrats the 2000 presidential
election. While Nader has become a pariah even among his former friends and
allies, AN UNREASONABLE MAN illustrates how he continues to be one of the
most trusted activists in America, crusading on behalf of consumer rights.

individual snowflakes to the grand sweep of Yellowstone's Hayden Valley, this

recorded before he even stepped onto the stand-up circuit - hit gold as Album
of the Year and won a Grammy for Best New Artist. Engaging the average guy in
all of us, Bland Bob's deadpan and mildly nervous humor, exemplified in "The
Driving Instructor," helped spearhead the explosion in American comedy - at
clubs, on records and television variety shows - and by permanently pushing
the boundaries of the sitcom genre. "The Bob Newhart Show" and, later,
"Newhart," portraying the quintessential sane man caught in a world of zany
characters gone mad, were among the most popular viewing staples throughout
the 70s and 80s. Newhart still performs up to 40 stand-up dates a year and
was recognized with a 2004 Emmy nomination for his first dramatic role on
"ER." With a legacy particularly familiar today in the routines of Jerry
Seinfeld and Ellen DeGeneres, his appeal was always seminal: Richard Pryor

row in Texas and examines what our attitudes toward cruelty can tell us about
who we are as Americans. Cahill is best known for his "The Hinges of History"
series of books, which includes the widely read "How the Irish Saved
Civilization." Cahill says his books ask how we became the people we are:
"It's human cruelty that is evil...We're not willing to acknowledge that this
is inside of us. It's there," he says. "I'm really interested in...what's
good about us." Also, Bill Moyers Journal looks back at an interview with
Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

Samuel Longhorne Clemens, alias Mark Twain, is regarded by many as America's greatest writer. Ernest
Hemmingway said all American writing begins with Huckleberry Finn. Twain's talents made him the
greatest global American celebrity of his time. But beyond the witty turns of phrase and social critique,
there was a man who drank and gambled too much, who went bankrupt, who could be viciously mean,
and was a deserter from the confederate army. So who was the real Mark Twain?

systems from ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics to the Internet. The programs discuss literacy and the
alphabet, and delve into how writing was first invented, how children learn to read and write, how Chinese
writing works and what "digital" means. The series makes three major points: writing had to be invented;
writing is different from speaking; and writing is the most important technology in human history.

This is a quintessentially Midwestern story of an unassuming, self-doubting man who, through expressing
his unique view of the world, redefined the comic art form. His genius lay in depicting the daily collisions
of insiders and outsiders, of mundane cruelties and transcendent hopes - seeing the extraordinary in the
ordinary. The "Peanuts" cast of characters is as familiar to us as our own siblings; their trials and
tribulations speak of our families and evoke our childhood desperations. They are portrayed with whimsy
and poignancy - and always with love and tolerance, each representing different facets of Schulz'
personality and his perspectives on 20th-century America.

The premiere hour features four distinctly different artists whose works pose questions about the role of
emotion, regret, fantasy and nostalgia in contemporary art. Laurie Simmons' first feature film, The Music
of Regret, gave her an opportunity to bring her photography to life. Staging scenes with puppets,
ventriloquist dummies and dancers costumed as everyday objects (a book, a clock, a cake), Simmons
creates a nostalgic world that explores the sentiments of love and romance among family and neighbors.
Lari Pittman draws inspiration from a childhood that allowed him to be creative and imaginative, as well
as from an acute awareness of our country's attitude toward the gay community. His meticulously layered
paintings transform decoration, pattern and signage into elaborate scenes that sweep viewers away with
their dizzying complexity. Sculptor Judy Pfaff designed an exhibition around the sadness and loss she
experienced following the deaths of several of her closest friends and family members. Balancing intense
planning with improvisational decision-making on site, Pfaff creates a sprawling sculptural installation that
explores the worlds of black and white and blends landscape and architecture into an organic whole.
Pierre Huyghe uses various forms of expression to create new worlds and investigate the circulation of
stories. His films, installations and public projects closely examine culture and boundaries and use
playfulness and humor as a way to address complex social topics. From an expedition in Antarctica to a
small-town parade, Huyghe thrives on the production and documentation of new and scripted realities.

America in the 1960s and 70s was in turmoil. The civil rights struggle, the
war in Vietnam and the sexual revolution defined a nation in conflict. But at
10 o'clock every Saturday night, in dorms and dens, in living rooms and
bedrooms across the country, Americans watched "The Carol Burnett Show." For
11 years, the wacky performer yelled like Tarzan and won - and sometimes
broke - our hearts with her edgy, always sympathetic, characters. She could
fall down a flight of stairs or hold her own in a duet with Julie Andrews.
Yet, as with so many brilliant comedians, hers was a difficult childhood. A
glimpse of something deeper and darker began to emerge in the dramatic career
that followed her TV variety show.

The second installment examines the ways in which four artists use their work
to picture war, express outrage and empathize with the suffering of others.
Politics and the brutality of war underscore many of Nancy Spero's paintings.
A pioneer of feminist art, she creates easily read yet complicated work that
makes an unapologetic statement against, and generates discussion about, the
abuse of power, privilege and male dominance. Landscape photographer An-My
Lê's black-and-white images examine the impact, representation and meaning of
war, as well as the relationship between military activity and the
surrounding terrain. Lê draws on her own childhood experience as a refugee of
the Vietnam War to capture compelling photographs reflecting current American
involvement in the Middle East. Basing his work on research, reflection and
response to horrific events, Alfredo Jaar's installations, films and
community-based projects communicate a specific experience to his audience,
capturing beauty but also confronting horror. Jaar identifies the gap between
reality and its representation, and his work explores the limits of art to
accurately represent tragic world events, from genocide to poverty and
famine. Jenny Holzer, well-known for her subversive use of text and poetry,
focuses on cruelty, devastation, consumerist impulses, death and disease in
order to provoke a critical response from the viewer. Whether in an
installation of declassified war documents or a large-scale projection of
text from provocative essays, Holzer presents words in ways that are
overwhelming, exacting and illustrate the power of language to harm or heal,
expose or conceal.

about the relationships between nature and culture. Ursula von Rydingsvard
works primarily with cedar to create large-scale structures. Drawing from her
58
WVPT
Fourth Quarter 2007
childhood memories of growing up in WWII Polish refugee camps, she creates
massive wooden sculptures, which often resemble bowls, tools and walls, and
echo the raw, wooden barracks in which her family was forced to live. Iñigo
Manglano-Ovalle's technologically sophisticated sculptures and video
installations employ natural forms such as clouds and icebergs, as well as
objects including an umbrella and bullfight ring, as metaphors for
understanding difficult social issues, from immigration and gun violence to
human cloning. For photographer Robert Adams, inspiration comes from the
American West. Through his compelling black-and-white images, he documents
scenes and landscapes - from a stripped forest to a sprawling suburban
neighborhood - that are beautiful yet disturbing and strike a balance between
sober documentation and somber indignation. Mark Dion lives amongst "the
world of stuff," collecting materials from flea markets and yard sales for
his installations and public projects - many of which explore our ideas and
assumptions about nature. Inspired and intrigued by scientists, natural
history museums and laboratory procedures, Dion's works include an elaborate
vivarium in Seattle for which he constructed a greenhouse to protect and keep
alive a fallen tree and its surroundings - a tribute to and appreciation for
the complexities of our natural system.

sketches. Somewhere along the way, he realized his motto of "That's close
enough" meant he wasn't cut out for a life of balancing the books. Lucky for
us. Host Alan Rosenberg talks with the venerable comedian about his fiftysome years in show biz, and living life with grace, vitality and humor. And
there is much to talk about.

Before Hollywood discovered the diverse talents of Black actors and
directors, African American audiences were flocking to theaters to see lowbudget, Black-produced films called "race" movies. These rare and mostlyforgotten films were a testament to a small group of Black pioneers, and film
libraries are working to memorialize this piece of Americana.

Irving Berlin pulled himself up from poverty on New York's Lower East Side to
become America's most famous and enduring songwriter. Born Israel Baline in
Belarus, then part of the Russian empire, on May 11, 1888, he immigrated with
his family to America at age five and later taught himself rudimentary piano
while working as a singing waiter in a bar and brothel in New York's
Chinatown. By age twenty-three, he was the wunderkind of Tin Pan Alley with
more than two hundred hit songs and hundreds more to come--songs like "White
Christmas," "Easter Parade," and "God Bless America." Who was Irving Berlin,
and what does his music say about America?

We have always had a deep sense of longing for the handmade. Perhaps because
each of us, in our own way, has had a craft experience. Sometimes it’s an
object passed down to us, or one that crosses our path, and connects us to
others in traditions, heritage and rituals. You’ve begun your understanding
and appreciation with our TV series. Now go further with the other elements
of this comprehensive journey. MEMORY - How do we recall our history? Through
words? Images? Events? The true link to our collective past -- and keeping it
alive -- is through our objects, drawing power from their influences.
Sometimes humble, sometimes extravagant, objects stay with us. They are the
ties that bind us to our past, no matter how distant that past may be.

This week Think Tank with Ben Wattenberg takes a look at "Irving Berlin's
America," Part Two of a two-part show. From Ragtime to Swing and from
82
WVPT
Fourth Quarter 2007
Broadway to Hollywood, Irving Berlin's music defined American songwriting for
more than half a century. Songs like "God Bless America," "There's No
Business Like Show Business," "Cheek to Cheek," and "White Christmas." Fully
half of his eight hundred and ninety-nine published tunes went on to become
hits. Two hundred and eighty-two reached the top ten on the popular charts;
thirty-five went to number one. Berlin's music reflects an almost instinctive
understanding of the culture and the early events of what has been called the
American century. His songs capture the heart of small town America and the
brass of Broadway. Who was Irving Berlin? What is there about his music that
still stirs and unites Americans? To find out, Think Tank is joined by Linda
Emmet, the second of Irving Berlin's three daughters, and music historian
Robert Kimball, co-editors of the just-published book, "The Complete Lyrics
of Irving Berlin," and Philip Furia, professor at the University of North
Carolina at Wilmington and author of "Irving Berlin, a Life in Song."

In the late 1950s, a shy Chicago accountant who was trying to pick up some
extra cash began doing local radio sketches. By 1960, The Button-Down Mind recorded before he even stepped onto the stand-up circuit - hit gold as Album
of the Year and won a Grammy for Best New Artist. Engaging the average guy in
all of us, Bland Bob's deadpan and mildly nervous humor, exemplified in "The
Driving Instructor," helped spearhead the explosion in American comedy - at
clubs, on records and television variety shows - and by permanently pushing
the boundaries of the sitcom genre. "The Bob Newhart Show" and, later,
"Newhart," portraying the quintessential sane man caught in a world of zany
characters gone mad, were among the most popular viewing staples throughout
the 70s and 80s. Newhart still performs up to 40 stand-up dates a year and
was recognized with a 2004 Emmy nomination for his first dramatic role on
"ER." With a legacy particularly familiar today in the routines of Jerry
Seinfeld and Ellen DeGeneres, his appeal was always seminal: Richard Pryor
once bragged, "The first album I ever stole was Bob Newhart's!"

We have always had a deep sense of longing for the handmade. Perhaps because
each of us, in our own way, has had a craft experience. Sometimes it’s an
object passed down to us, or one that crosses our path, and connects us to
others in traditions, heritage and rituals. You’ve begun your understanding
and appreciation with our TV series. Now go further with the other elements
of this comprehensive journey. COMMUNITY - Community carries with it many
meanings in the world of craft. It is manifest in the social traditions
passed from generation to generation. Or in a literal community of people,
bound by geography or skill or place in time that comes together on a
project, or to help one another. It is the give and take of academic
communities where knowledge is exposed.

communities in need of clean water.

For over 40 years, Tom Wolfe has challenged the way Americans look at
themselves. From hippies to heroes, his funny and insightful writing has
explored the cultural landscape. His unconventional style, mixing literary
techniques with factual reporting, became known as new journalism. He has
written a series of brilliant best-selling novels. THINK TANK caught up with
Tom Wolfe at the tenth anniversary celebration of the Derriere Guard. The
Derriere Guard is a loose association of like people in various arts, "it's
all of us who are at the cutting edge but are doing art that is traditionally
based" says composer Stefania De Kenessy, the founding member. Tom Wolfe was
drawn to the group's critique of hyper modernist art and became an
enthusiastic supporter, so much so that he delivered their first keynote
address in 1997 and returned to do it again a decade later. After his speech,

The long and winding campaign road: vetoing healthcare, controlling the contractors, and Justice Thomas
speaks, tonight on "Washington Week." Rudy Giuliani [Former Mayor of New York] said, "I think we'll end
up where we have very good quarter, probably one of the best of the Republicans." Rudy Giuliani was
right, but not by much. The Republican presidential race is scrambled while the Democratic race is
hardening. We take a look. The politics of children's healthcare: why the president vetoed a controversial
bill. President George W. Bush stated, "Poor kids first." And why even some Republicans don't agree with
him. Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) said, "I think he's been given some pretty bad advice." The Blackwater
brouhaha: who controls the contractors? Sen. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), said, "Well, in America, if you
committed a crime you don't pack them up and ship them out of the country in two days." The silent
justice speaks: Clarence Thomas' surprising new memoir. Plus, what was this man thinking? Covering the
week, Gloria Borger of CNN and "U.S. News," Chuck Babington of the Associated Press, Linda Robinson
of "U.S. News and World Report," and Joan Biskupic of "USA Today."

As the Earth heats up at a dangerous rate and fossil fuels become scarcer, ordinary citizens and
businesses are bypassing the federal government to lead the way in exploring a clean, renewable source
of power: the sun. In this report, NOVA shines a light on how and why people across America and the
world are "going solar," using radiant energy of the sun to power homes, businesses, and even entire
communities. But can everyday people really make a difference by using solar power? And can solar
technologies, with their high cost and logistical challenges, truly play a bigger role in powering the future
of humanity? The grand hopes, latest innovations, roiling controversies, and practical realities of solar
power all come to the fore in this program.

13 miners trapped in a mine in West Virginia. Television cameras join anxious
family members in the vigil. After nearly two days, news comes that 12 are
alive. But the good news is wrong, and it is hours before the correct
information reaches the families and the world -- there is only one survivor.
The tragedy of the Sago mine disaster garnered the intense attention of the
media in early January 2006, but few reporters dug deeper to find out if the
deaths of coal miners could have been prevented. Until reporter Ken Ward Jr.
and The Charleston Gazette did just that, by pouring over the accident
reports involving hundreds of miners. Ward found that most miners do not die
in disasters, in the glare of the media spotlight, but one by one, in mining
accidents that could have been avoided if mine operators had followed
existing regulations and safety rules. "They don't have to die," Ward
concluded. "That's what the reports show. That's what the record shows."

Interview/Discussion/Review
When the federal government ended its 60-plus years of price support to
tobacco farmers in 2004, Virginians were hit particularly hard. NOW travels
to the mountainous farmlands of Appalachia to meet farmers who’ve attempted
the difficult switch from tobacco to increasingly popular organic produce.
Among those profiled is restaurant owner Steven Hopp who, along with his wife
-- acclaimed author Barbara Kingsolver -- spent a year living off the land.
Social entrepreneur Anthony Flaccavento founded an Enterprising Idea called
“Appalachian Sustainable Development” to help local farmers and markets make
the transition not just to organic, but to local organic. Can local farmers
change course and crops and still survive in a shifting economy? Also on the
show, David Brancaccio interviews prominent environmentalist Bill McKibben
about his “National Day of Climate Action” on November 3, and what we can all
do to fight global warming.

This week, NOW travels to North Minneapolis to investigate the mortgage
meltdown that has left the city scarred with boarded-up and abandoned houses.
What's happened in communities like this one has investors everywhere shaken.
Wall Street firms are stumbling and markets around the globe are nervous.
Economists worry the mortgage bust may lead to a recession. NOW connects the
dots to see the extent to which recklessness, corruption and greed created
this subprime mess that now threatens to undermine our entire economy. David
Brancaccio talks to Rep. Keith Ellison, who grew up in North Minneapolis and
who has pushed legislation to address the crisis. He also talks to Ameriquest
whistleblower Mark Bomchill, who explains the competitive "boiler room"
culture that encouraged brokers to aggressively push mortgage products they
knew clients would be unable to repay.

NOW shines a bright light on the scandalous connection between VECO
Corporation, an Alaska-based oil services company and Alaska's old-boy
Republican network. Two state legislators have been convicted in Federal
court for accepting bribes from VECO. The FBI has video and audio evidence
that reveal VECO executives shockingly handing out cash to those legislators
in exchange for promises to roll back a tax on the oil industry. But that may
only be the tip of the oily iceberg. NOW's Maria Hinojosa learns that several
more lawmakers are being eyed in the growing scandal, including one of the
country's most powerful politicians, Alaska U.S. Senator Ted Stevens. NOW
investigates the bribes, the connections to Big Oil and the payoffs to obtain
friendly tax policies.

In the midst of the holiday spending and consumption frenzy, Bill Moyers
interviews author Benjamin Barber about how capitalism isn’t living up to its

WVPT
Fourth Quarter 2007
potential to serve society. "Capitalism is no longer manufacturing goods to
meet real needs and human wants," says Barber. "It's manufacturing needs to
sell us all the goods it's got to produce." Barber is the author of 17 books
including international best-seller Jihad vs. McWorld and Consumed: How
Markets Corrupt Children, Infantilize Adults, and Swallow Citizens Whole.
Also on the program: is it time to rewrite the Constitution? Moyers gets
perspective from the University of Texas Law School’s Sanford Levinson,
author of Our Undemocratic Constitution: Where the Constitution Goes Wrong
(and How We the People Can Correct It). And an update on changes to media
regulations voted on this week by the FCC.

The Post Register published the "Scouts' Honor" series in early 2005, and the paper immediately came
under fire from some in the community. The fallout of the stories ended up being far more dramatic than
anyone had anticipated. A prominent local company took out full-page ads in the paper challenging the
reporting and claiming, "the Post Register's real intent was to smear the Scout's good name and take
away what the Scouts value most, their honor." Additional victims came forward to tell their stories of
abuse. And one father, motivated by his sons' accounts of abuse, dedicated himself full-time to changing
Idaho's statute of limitations in cases involving the sexual abuse of minors.

NOW's David Brancaccio sits down with acclaimed director Michael Apted to talk about how
socioeconomic status and education influence life here and in Britain. Apted discusses what he's learned
from "49 Up," the seventh chapter of his groundbreaking documentary series that follows the lives of
English citizens every seven years. "49 Up" premieres on "POV" October 9. Also on the show, "Off the
Grid," a visit to Decorah, Iowa, where several families are going above and beyond the energy
conservation call of duty by going off the electricity grid and producing their own power from renewable
sources. They've given up some amenities, like air conditioning, but they haven't given up everything.
Even more families who remain connected to the grid use Iowa's net metering laws to sell the extra
energy they generate back to their utility company. Do they have the power to make it last?

In the midst of the holiday spending and consumption frenzy, Bill Moyers
interviews author Benjamin Barber about how capitalism isn’t living up to its
potential to serve society. "Capitalism is no longer manufacturing goods to
meet real needs and human wants," says Barber. "It's manufacturing needs to
sell us all the goods it's got to produce." Barber is the author of 17 books
including international best-seller Jihad vs. McWorld and Consumed: How
Markets Corrupt Children, Infantilize Adults, and Swallow Citizens Whole.
Also on the program: is it time to rewrite the Constitution? Moyers gets
perspective from the University of Texas Law School’s Sanford Levinson,
author of Our Undemocratic Constitution: Where the Constitution Goes Wrong
(and How We the People Can Correct It). And an update on changes to media
regulations voted on this week by the FCC.

In 1966, General Motors, then the most powerful corporation in the world,
sent private investigators to dig up dirt on an obscure 32-year-old public
interest lawyer named Ralph Nader. The reason: Nader had written a book that
criticized the Corvair, a General Motors car. But the company’s attempt to
discredit Nader and sully his character backfired. The scandal that ensued
after the smear campaign was revealed launched Nader into national prominence
and established him as the leader of the modern American consumer movement.
AN UNREASONABLE MAN traces the life and career of this unique and
controversial political figure. When most people hear his name, they think of
the political "spoiler" who cost the Democrats the 2000 presidential
election. While Nader has become a pariah even among his former friends and
allies, AN UNREASONABLE MAN illustrates how he continues to be one of the
most trusted activists in America, crusading on behalf of consumer rights.

The Post Register published the "Scouts' Honor" series in early 2005, and the paper immediately came
under fire from some in the community. The fallout of the stories ended up being far more dramatic than
anyone had anticipated. A prominent local company took out full-page ads in the paper challenging the
reporting and claiming, "the Post Register's real intent was to smear the Scout's good name and take
away what the Scouts value most, their honor." Additional victims came forward to tell their stories of
abuse. And one father, motivated by his sons' accounts of abuse, dedicated himself full-time to changing
Idaho's statute of limitations in cases involving the sexual abuse of minors.

On November 28, 2005, California Representative Randy "Duke" Cunningham resigned from office after
pleading guilty to taking more than $2.4 million in bribes from defense contractors seeking government
contracts. The story of Cunningham's downfall -- from legendary Vietnam War ace pilot to federal inmate - was publicly credited by the U.S. District Attorney's Office to the Pulitzer Prize-winning team of reporters
from Copley News Service and The San Diego Union-Tribune. Starting with the story of Cunningham's
suspicious house sale to defense contractor Mitchell Wade and using court records, Congressional travel
databases, confidential sources, and even scans of a high school yearbook, the reporting team
uncovered the murky side of Washington politics that continues to make headlines today. Exposé follows
the reporters' trail and talks to their sources about the way the contract game is played in Washington and
how willing lawmakers are to play it.

13 miners trapped in a mine in West Virginia. Television cameras join anxious
family members in the vigil. After nearly two days, news comes that 12 are
alive. But the good news is wrong, and it is hours before the correct
information reaches the families and the world -- there is only one survivor.
The tragedy of the Sago mine disaster garnered the intense attention of the
media in early January 2006, but few reporters dug deeper to find out if the
deaths of coal miners could have been prevented. Until reporter Ken Ward Jr.
and The Charleston Gazette did just that, by pouring over the accident
reports involving hundreds of miners. Ward found that most miners do not die
in disasters, in the glare of the media spotlight, but one by one, in mining
accidents that could have been avoided if mine operators had followed
existing regulations and safety rules. "They don't have to die," Ward
concluded. "That's what the reports show. That's what the record shows."

One of the latest battles in the war over evolution took place in a tiny town
of Dover in eastern Pennsylvania. In 2004, the local school board ordered
science teachers to read to their high school biology students a statement
that suggested there is an alternative to Darwin's theory of evolution.
Called Intelligent Design, the idea is that that life is too complex to have
evolved naturally and therefore had to have been designed by an intelligent
agent. The science teachers refused to comply with the order; alarmed parents
filed a lawsuit in federal court accusing the school board of violating the
separation of church and state. Suddenly, the small town of Dover was torn
apart by controversy, pitting neighbor against neighbor. NOVA captures the
emotional conflict in interviews with the townspeople, scientists and lawyers
who participated in the historic six-week trial, Kitzmiller, et. al. v. Dover
School District, et. al., which was closely watched by the world's media.
With re-creations based on court transcripts, NOVA presents the arguments by
lawyers and expert witnesses in riveting detail and provides an eye-opening
crash course on questions such as "What is evolution?" and "Does Intelligent
Design qualify as science?" For years to come, the lessons from Dover will
continue to have a profound impact on how science is viewed in our society
and how it's taught it in the classroom.

Radical Islam has spread throughout Europe. Will this militant mindset become

AMERICA AT A CROSSROADS series, examines a crucial question: are U.S. prisons
incubators for radical Islam and terrorist ideology? The issue was brought to
the fore by the disruption of an alleged terrorist plot, hatched in prison,
in Los Angeles in 2005. Viewers meet key figures involved in the case. They
also meet prison imams and inmates for whom Islam has been an increasingly
popular lifeline, providing direction and purpose to their lives. But with
overcrowded correctional facilities offering little rehabilitation for
inmates and idle time to embrace radical ideologies, should prison reform
become part of America's national security policy?

9/11 has indelibly altered America in ways that people are now starting to
earnestly question: not only perpetual orange alerts, barricades and body
frisks at the airport, but greater government scrutiny of people's records
and electronic surveillance of their communications. The watershed, officials
tell FRONTLINE, was the government's shift after 9/11 to a strategy of preemption at home -- not just prosecuting terrorists for breaking the law, but
trying to find and stop them before they strike.

NOW shines a bright light on the scandalous connection between VECO
Corporation, an Alaska-based oil services company and Alaska's old-boy
Republican network. Two state legislators have been convicted in Federal
court for accepting bribes from VECO. The FBI has video and audio evidence
that reveal VECO executives shockingly handing out cash to those legislators
in exchange for promises to roll back a tax on the oil industry. But that may
only be the tip of the oily iceberg. NOW's Maria Hinojosa learns that several
more lawmakers are being eyed in the growing scandal, including one of the
country's most powerful politicians, Alaska U.S. Senator Ted Stevens. NOW
investigates the bribes, the connections to Big Oil and the payoffs to obtain
friendly tax policies.

You were thinking maybe a quiet holiday week? Not a chance. We'll tell you
why tonight on "Washington Week." The three branches of government on
overdrive. At the White House good news on Iraq: the violence in down, but
Democrats in Congress are not mollified. Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) said,
"Because the Pentagon says it you believe it? You believe what the Pentagon
says?" And the president's not too happy with Congress either. Pres. George
W. Bush said, "The leadership that's on the Hill now cannot get that job
done." Action of the Supreme Court, too, as the justices agree to step into a
big Second Amendment fight: who gets to own guns? And the race for president
takes no holiday. Mr.Gardner said, "I'm setting January 8th 2008 as the date
of the New Hampshire primary." But surprise: the names in the headlines are
Obama and Huckabee. Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-AR) said, "I think I'm pretty
doggone electable." Covering the stories this holiday week, Martha Raddatz of
ABC News, Charles Babington of the Associated Press, Jeff Zeleny of the New
York Times and Joan Biskupic of U.S.A. Today.

This is a quintessentially Midwestern story of an unassuming, self-doubting man who, through expressing
his unique view of the world, redefined the comic art form. His genius lay in depicting the daily collisions
of insiders and outsiders, of mundane cruelties and transcendent hopes - seeing the extraordinary in the
ordinary. The "Peanuts" cast of characters is as familiar to us as our own siblings; their trials and
tribulations speak of our families and evoke our childhood desperations. They are portrayed with whimsy
and poignancy - and always with love and tolerance, each representing different facets of Schulz'
personality and his perspectives on 20th-century America.

This program introduces viewers to four artists whose works pose questions
about the relationships between nature and culture. Ursula von Rydingsvard
works primarily with cedar to create large-scale structures. Drawing from her
childhood memories of growing up in WWII Polish refugee camps, she creates
massive wooden sculptures, which often resemble bowls, tools and walls, and
echo the raw, wooden barracks in which her family was forced to live. Iñigo
Manglano-Ovalle's technologically sophisticated sculptures and video
installations employ natural forms such as clouds and icebergs, as well as
objects including an umbrella and bullfight ring, as metaphors for
understanding difficult social issues, from immigration and gun violence to
human cloning. For photographer Robert Adams, inspiration comes from the
American West. Through his compelling black-and-white images, he documents
scenes and landscapes - from a stripped forest to a sprawling suburban
neighborhood - that are beautiful yet disturbing and strike a balance between
sober documentation and somber indignation. Mark Dion lives amongst "the
world of stuff," collecting materials from flea markets and yard sales for
his installations and public projects - many of which explore our ideas and
assumptions about nature. Inspired and intrigued by scientists, natural
history museums and laboratory procedures, Dion's works include an elaborate
vivarium in Seattle for which he constructed a greenhouse to protect and keep
alive a fallen tree and its surroundings - a tribute to and appreciation for
the complexities of our natural system.

DO YOU SPEAK AMERICAN? heads into the Deep South for a look at Appalachian
and "hillbilly," shaped by the Scots-Irish English of early frontier settlers
like Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett. Footage of the legendary North Carolina
storyteller Ray Hicks, who died in 2003, captures a prime example of the
dialect, and in Rabbit Hash, Kentucky, "country talkin'" seems to be alive
and kicking. MacNeil gets a first-hand glimpse into the world of CB radio
thanks to Spanky the Trucker, whose nephew, the country singer Cody James an Oregon native - discusses how speaking "country" has become a national
trend. During a performance before a packed house, the popular stand-up
comedian Jeff Foxworthy imparts the meaning of words like manaze (pronounced
"may-naze") and witchudidga (pronounced "witch-uh-did-yuh"). Then, it's on to
the bayou for a night of traditional dancing at Fred's Lounge in Mamou,
Louisiana, where owner Tante (Aunt) Sue speaks English smothered in Cajun
overtones. At a barbecue on the Bar J Ranch outside of Beesville, Texas,
cowboys recite their poetry and point out the Spanish roots of words like
bronco, stampede, corral and rodeo. Songwriter and novelist Kinky Friedman, a
"professional Texan," talks about cattywhompus and larrupin, and in Austin,
journalist and commentator Molly Ivins sits down with MacNeil to share her
thoughts on true Texan English. Finally, MacNeil investigates the controversy
created by the town of El Cenizo, Texas, which has adopted Spanish as its
"official" language.

Latino television program "Mex to the Max." It also explores Chicano - the
thriving, distinct street talk of the Los Angeles Latino community - taking a
trip to an inner-city park packed with urban teens accompanied by linguist
Carmen Fought. MacNeil visits classrooms in which young students learn to
translate Ebonics and the informal versions of English spoken at home into
the classroom English they will need to succeed in the workforce. MacNeil
gets a lesson himself in surfer-, skateboarder- and skater-speak. He meets
with screenwriters Amy Heckerling and Winnie Holtzman for a discussion about
the impact of Hollywood on our language; comedian Steve Harvey, who says he
sounds silly speaking anything other than "African-American," but well
understands the need for African-American children to be "bilingual"; and
Cliff Nass, a Stanford University professor who poses thoughtful questions
about the potential societal impact of voice-activated computers.

words? Images? Events? The true link to our collective past -- and keeping it
alive -- is through our objects, drawing power from their influences.
Sometimes humble, sometimes extravagant, objects stay with us. They are the
ties that bind us to our past, no matter how distant that past may be.

English citizens every seven years. "49 Up" premieres on "POV" October 9. Also on the show, "Off the
Grid," a visit to Decorah, Iowa, where several families are going above and beyond the energy
conservation call of duty by going off the electricity grid and producing their own power from renewable
sources. They've given up some amenities, like air conditioning, but they haven't given up everything.
Even more families who remain connected to the grid use Iowa's net metering laws to sell the extra
energy they generate back to their utility company. Do they have the power to make it last?

been working so long and so hard to try to get the message out about this planetary emergency." Climate
change as a global and domestic issue. Former vice president Al Gore leading the way. Will presidential
candidates follow? Hillary Clinton wants you to believe she is already the nominee. And Republicans are
playing right along. Rudy Giuliani said, "She's going to give $5,000 to every child born in America with
her picture on it." Plus, as the GOP spars over taxes, Fred Thompson finally joins the fray. Fred
Thompson: "And to think I thought I was going to be the best actor on the stage." While at the Supreme
Court justices weigh in on the past, the present, and the future. Covering the week, Margaret Kriz of
"National Journal," John Harwood of CNBC and the "Wall Street Journal," Dan Balz of the "Washington
Post," and Pete Williams of NBC News.

Islamic terrorists." But Republican frontrunner Rudy Giuliani has New York
baggage and other candidates like John McCain aren't giving up just yet. Sen.
Sam Brownback said, "I'm here today to endorse the best pro-life candidate to
beat Hillary Clinton." For the Democrats tonight, it's all about Iowa. Will

This week, NOW travels to North Minneapolis to investigate the mortgage
meltdown that has left the city scarred with boarded-up and abandoned houses.
What's happened in communities like this one has investors everywhere shaken.
Wall Street firms are stumbling and markets around the globe are nervous.
Economists worry the mortgage bust may lead to a recession. NOW connects the
dots to see the extent to which recklessness, corruption and greed created
this subprime mess that now threatens to undermine our entire economy. David
Brancaccio talks to Rep. Keith Ellison, who grew up in North Minneapolis and
who has pushed legislation to address the crisis. He also talks to Ameriquest
whistleblower Mark Bomchill, who explains the competitive "boiler room"
culture that encouraged brokers to aggressively push mortgage products they
knew clients would be unable to repay.

In the midst of the holiday spending and consumption frenzy, Bill Moyers
interviews author Benjamin Barber about how capitalism isn’t living up to its
potential to serve society. "Capitalism is no longer manufacturing goods to
meet real needs and human wants," says Barber. "It's manufacturing needs to
sell us all the goods it's got to produce." Barber is the author of 17 books
including international best-seller Jihad vs. McWorld and Consumed: How
Markets Corrupt Children, Infantilize Adults, and Swallow Citizens Whole.
Also on the program: is it time to rewrite the Constitution? Moyers gets
perspective from the University of Texas Law School’s Sanford Levinson,

The week in review, the year in review tonight on "Washington Week." Sen.
Hillary Clinton (D-NY) said, "I never believe any election is at all
predictable, let alone inevitable." Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) said, "When I
was 20 points down, they all thought I was a wonderful guy, so obviously
things have changed." Sen. Joseph Lieberman (D-CT) said, "Let me just say
something for the record: none of the Democratic candidates asked for my
support. John McCain did." Pres. George W. Bush said, "I believe we will keep
the White House. I believe ours is the party that understands the nature of
the world in which we live and that the government's primary responsibility
is to protect the American citizens from harm." Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
said, "Even those of us who disagreed on the war have always agreed on at
least one thing, and that is that the troops in the field will not be left
without the resources they need." Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-MA) said, "It's
wrong to give the president another huge blank check for the war in Iraq.
Enough is enough. Enough is enough. Enough." Mitt Romney said, "The more
people come to know Mike Huckabee, the more they realize they don't know
about Mike Huckabee." Mike Huckabee said, "If we are so politically correct
in this country that a person can't say enough of the nonsense of political
attack ads, could we pause for a few days to say Merry Christmas to each
other, then we're really, really in trouble as a country." And that's just
what the nation's newsmakers had to say this week. Tonight we take a look at
the last seven days and the last 12 months. Elections, the rocky economy,
battles at home and abroad, with Jeanne Cummings of Politico, Doyle McManus
of The Los Angeles Times, and Alexis Simendinger of National Journal, plus
the observations of our "Washington Week" panelists on the big stories of
2007.

NOW's David Brancaccio sits down with acclaimed director Michael Apted to talk about how
socioeconomic status and education influence life here and in Britain. Apted discusses what he's learned
from "49 Up," the seventh chapter of his groundbreaking documentary series that follows the lives of
English citizens every seven years. "49 Up" premieres on "POV" October 9. Also on the show, "Off the
Grid," a visit to Decorah, Iowa, where several families are going above and beyond the energy
conservation call of duty by going off the electricity grid and producing their own power from renewable
sources. They've given up some amenities, like air conditioning, but they haven't given up everything.
Even more families who remain connected to the grid use Iowa's net metering laws to sell the extra
energy they generate back to their utility company. Do they have the power to make it last?

Documentary Explores Key Case on 'Intelligent Design': The PBS series NOVA
airs a documentary Tuesday about a 2005 landmark Pennsylvania court case that

alternate theory to evolution. The judge who decided the case reflects the
legal battle.

One of the latest battles in the war over evolution took place in a tiny town
of Dover in eastern Pennsylvania. In 2004, the local school board ordered
science teachers to read to their high school biology students a statement
that suggested there is an alternative to Darwin's theory of evolution.
233
WVPT
Fourth Quarter 2007
Called Intelligent Design, the idea is that that life is too complex to have
evolved naturally and therefore had to have been designed by an intelligent
agent. The science teachers refused to comply with the order; alarmed parents
filed a lawsuit in federal court accusing the school board of violating the
separation of church and state. Suddenly, the small town of Dover was torn
apart by controversy, pitting neighbor against neighbor. NOVA captures the
emotional conflict in interviews with the townspeople, scientists and lawyers
who participated in the historic six-week trial, Kitzmiller, et. al. v. Dover
School District, et. al., which was closely watched by the world's media.
With re-creations based on court transcripts, NOVA presents the arguments by
lawyers and expert witnesses in riveting detail and provides an eye-opening
crash course on questions such as "What is evolution?" and "Does Intelligent
Design qualify as science?" For years to come, the lessons from Dover will
continue to have a profound impact on how science is viewed in our society
and how it's taught it in the classroom.

Since the 1960s, the American university has often been less a free
marketplace of ideas than a combat zone where partisan groups forcefully and
sometimes fiercely argue their positions on national and world affairs. In
recent years, no issue has been more contentious than the conflict in the
Middle East. "Campus Battleground," a special in the AMERICA AT A CROSSROADS
series, focuses on the University of California-Berkeley and Columbia
University in New York, where pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian students
struggle over the competing claims of Zionism and Palestinian nationalism,
over what history teaches and whether absolute demands can ever lead to
honorable compromise. The seemingly intractable conflict half a world away
has forced these students to think about allegiances to family, ethnicity and
religion and, above all, about the need to take a stand that will define them
and their ideals.

What makes a school worth going to? Four youth media teams set out to answer
this important question. Working in collaboration with producers from
Learning Matters, a documentary production company that focuses on youth and
learning, the youth production teams created short personal documentaries
that present authentic youth perspectives about their schools. Thomas, in
Espanola, NM, does poorly in academic subjects until, in a school arts
program, he discovers previously unrecognized skills and gains the confidence
to tackle more academic subjects. In Evanston, IL, students discover that
excellent teaching requires a mixture of inspiring pedagogy, emotional
coaching and a strong dose of personalized attention. Students in San
Antonio highlight a magnet school with only 450 students, teachers and
administrators. Finally, Perpich Center for Arts Education emerges as a
beacon of progress, peace and purpose as it provides academic and personal
security for students in Minnesota. These pieces depict an academic and
creative road trip throughout the American public school system showing signs
of hope and success. Students ultimately turn the camera on themselves and
provide a blueprint for improving educational experiences for their peers.

moonlighting for a local radio station, writing and performing comedy
sketches. Somewhere along the way, he realized his motto of "That's close
enough" meant he wasn't cut out for a life of balancing the books. Lucky for
us. Host Alan Rosenberg talks with the venerable comedian about his fiftysome years in show biz, and living life with grace, vitality and humor. And
there is much to talk about.

Renewables, biofuels, solar, wind and other energy sources may be
alternatives to fossil fuel, but it is impossible to ignore the ubiquity of
coal and the power capabilities of nuclear, despite their many drawbacks.
These controversial resources may be major players in a sustainable energy
future, however, thanks to new developments in carbon capture and
sequestration and improved nuclear technologies.

NOW shines a bright light on the scandalous connection between VECO
Corporation, an Alaska-based oil services company and Alaska's old-boy
Republican network. Two state legislators have been convicted in Federal
court for accepting bribes from VECO. The FBI has video and audio evidence
that reveal VECO executives shockingly handing out cash to those legislators
in exchange for promises to roll back a tax on the oil industry. But that may
only be the tip of the oily iceberg. NOW's Maria Hinojosa learns that several
more lawmakers are being eyed in the growing scandal, including one of the
country's most powerful politicians, Alaska U.S. Senator Ted Stevens. NOW
investigates the bribes, the connections to Big Oil and the payoffs to obtain
friendly tax policies.

Grid," a visit to Decorah, Iowa, where several families are going above and beyond the energy
conservation call of duty by going off the electricity grid and producing their own power from renewable
sources. They've given up some amenities, like air conditioning, but they haven't given up everything.
Even more families who remain connected to the grid use Iowa's net metering laws to sell the extra
energy they generate back to their utility company. Do they have the power to make it last?

As the Earth heats up at a dangerous rate and fossil fuels become scarcer, ordinary citizens and
businesses are bypassing the federal government to lead the way in exploring a clean, renewable source
of power: the sun. In this report, NOVA shines a light on how and why people across America and the
world are "going solar," using radiant energy of the sun to power homes, businesses, and even entire
communities. But can everyday people really make a difference by using solar power? And can solar
technologies, with their high cost and logistical challenges, truly play a bigger role in powering the future
of humanity? The grand hopes, latest innovations, roiling controversies, and practical realities of solar
power all come to the fore in this program.

Is war with Iran now more likely? New controls over private guards in Iraq, answering the California fire
alarm, and what do the voters really want anyway? I'm Pete Williams sitting in for Gwen Ifill tonight on
"Washington Week." Raising the stakes in the Middle East. The Bush administration comes up with new
ways to punish Iran, but could they make military action more likely? Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson
said, "We are taking additional steps to combat Iran's dangerous conduct." In Iraq new pressure on the
hired guns. Rep. Sarbanes (D-MD.) stated, "I'm curious to know whether you regret the failures of the
department." Secretary Of State Condoleezza Rice said, "I certainly regret that we did not have the kind
of oversight that I would have insisted upon." Out West, raging wildfires forced the largest evacuation in
California history. How did the federal government measure up this time? President George W. Bush
said, "We're not going to forget you in Washington, D.C." But who really made the difference? Governor
Arnold Schwarzenegger said, "From the 2003 fire we have learned a lot." And what do the voters care
about? Are their priorities getting lost in campaign '08? Plus, some exciting news about what's ahead for
"Washington Week." Covering these stories tonight, Helene Cooper of the "New York Times," Janine
Zacharia of Bloomberg News, Spencer Hsu of the "Washington Post," and Doyle McManus of the "Los
Angeles Times."

This program introduces viewers to four artists whose works pose questions
about the relationships between nature and culture. Ursula von Rydingsvard
works primarily with cedar to create large-scale structures. Drawing from her
childhood memories of growing up in WWII Polish refugee camps, she creates
massive wooden sculptures, which often resemble bowls, tools and walls, and
echo the raw, wooden barracks in which her family was forced to live. Iñigo
Manglano-Ovalle's technologically sophisticated sculptures and video
installations employ natural forms such as clouds and icebergs, as well as
objects including an umbrella and bullfight ring, as metaphors for
understanding difficult social issues, from immigration and gun violence to
human cloning. For photographer Robert Adams, inspiration comes from the
American West. Through his compelling black-and-white images, he documents
scenes and landscapes - from a stripped forest to a sprawling suburban
neighborhood - that are beautiful yet disturbing and strike a balance between
sober documentation and somber indignation. Mark Dion lives amongst "the
world of stuff," collecting materials from flea markets and yard sales for
his installations and public projects - many of which explore our ideas and
assumptions about nature. Inspired and intrigued by scientists, natural
history museums and laboratory procedures, Dion's works include an elaborate
vivarium in Seattle for which he constructed a greenhouse to protect and keep
alive a fallen tree and its surroundings - a tribute to and appreciation for
the complexities of our natural system.

When the federal government ended its 60-plus years of price support to
tobacco farmers in 2004, Virginians were hit particularly hard. NOW travels
to the mountainous farmlands of Appalachia to meet farmers who’ve attempted
the difficult switch from tobacco to increasingly popular organic produce.
Among those profiled is restaurant owner Steven Hopp who, along with his wife
-- acclaimed author Barbara Kingsolver -- spent a year living off the land.
Social entrepreneur Anthony Flaccavento founded an Enterprising Idea called
“Appalachian Sustainable Development” to help local farmers and markets make
the transition not just to organic, but to local organic. Can local farmers
change course and crops and still survive in a shifting economy? Also on the
show, David Brancaccio interviews prominent environmentalist Bill McKibben
about his “National Day of Climate Action” on November 3, and what we can all
do to fight global warming.

Hawaii's breathtaking beauty was forged in fire, created by the awesome power
of volcanoes on land and in the sea, by earthquakes and tsunamis, natural
wonders that continue to shape the islands today. Shot in high definition by
a team of award-winning filmmakers who live on the islands, this spectacular
film features volcanic eruptions, rivers of molten lava, monster waves,
humpback whales and perhaps most surprising of all, snow.

As snow falls and Christmas lights glow in Jackson Hole, a holiday season of
a different sort settles in just beyond the town, in the great winter world
of Yellowstone. Breathtaking landscapes frame intimate scenes of wolves and
coyotes, elk and bison, bears and otters as they make their way through their
most challenging season of the year. NATURE journeys in the footsteps of the
men who first explored the park, and travels with their modern-day
counterpart on his own journey of discovery. From the unique crystals of
individual snowflakes to the grand sweep of Yellowstone's Hayden Valley, this
is a Christmas like no other.

Can an unlikely collaboration save Idaho's wilderness? A Republican
congressman and the Idaho Conservation League have joined forces to protect a
vast swath of the state's natural environment. The legislation, the Central
Idaho Economic Development and Recreation Act (CIEDRA), transfers some public
land -- land Americans across the country pay for -- to private local
ownership in exchange for protection of nearby wilderness. It also leaves
land bordering the wilderness open to further recreational use, especially
involving off-road vehicles. That price is too high for some, including
singer-songwriter Carole King, who owns a 128-acre ranch in Idaho. NOW talks
to residents, ranchers, off-road vehicle fans, and wilderness advocates to
unearth the truth behind a tug-of-war that is playing out not just in Idaho,
but in other states and the halls of the U.S. Congress.

In one of documentary cinema's more remarkable enterprises, "49 Up" makes its U.S. broadcast premiere
as the seventh in a series of films that has profiled a group of English children every seven years,
beginning in 1964. Renowned director Michael Apted (Coal Miner's Daughter, Gorky Park, Gorillas in the
Mist, Amazing Grace) has doggedly pursued the series as the children have grown into adults, navigating
the divide between childhood dreams and adult realities. The film revisits questions of love, marriage,
career, class and prejudice - discovering unexpected turns in individual lives and surprising views of the
"Up" film series itself. By Michael Apted.

NOW's David Brancaccio sits down with acclaimed director Michael Apted to talk about how
socioeconomic status and education influence life here and in Britain. Apted discusses what he's learned
from "49 Up," the seventh chapter of his groundbreaking documentary series that follows the lives of
English citizens every seven years. "49 Up" premieres on "POV" October 9. Also on the show, "Off the
Grid," a visit to Decorah, Iowa, where several families are going above and beyond the energy
conservation call of duty by going off the electricity grid and producing their own power from renewable
sources. They've given up some amenities, like air conditioning, but they haven't given up everything.
Even more families who remain connected to the grid use Iowa's net metering laws to sell the extra
energy they generate back to their utility company. Do they have the power to make it last?

The special will feature interviews with teens who have been touched by
divorce, either through divorced or separated parents, step families, or
friends whose parents are divorced. Profiled teens will be from various
ethnic backgrounds and will range in age between 14-18 years old. Through
personal testimonials, the special will shed light on how to cope with the
emotions that often accompany divorce (anger, guilt, shame, fear, denial,
confusion and sadness), dealing with problems created by custody
arrangements, helping younger siblings cope and where to find help.
Counselors who work with teens will also provide their expertise on this
issue.

It began as a hunch in the newsroom of the Hartford Courant and grew to become a major exposé. A
Courant investigation revealed shocking mental health care practices within the American armed forces practices which led to soldiers being medicated without proper oversight; soldiers being redeployed
despite suffering from post-traumatic-stress disorder (PTSD); and suicidal soldiers whose warning signs
were ignored. Courant journalists Lisa Chedekel and Matthew Kauffman had seen media reports that
recruitment standards were being lowered in order to offset personnel shortfalls and they wondered what
impact this was having on the military's standards for psychological care of its troops. They learned that
pre-deployment screenings were largely ineffective. In fact, only one question of eight on the predeployment questionnaire - Question 7 - pertained to mental health. It asks, "During the past year have
you sought counseling or care for your mental health? Yes or No." After analyzing data from over 900,000
questionnaires, the Courant reported in 2006 that those who came forward with psychological problems
were "rarely referred for evaluations by mental health professionals" and the vast majority of those who
answered "yes" to Question 7 were ultimately deployed. Further investigation revealed that the military
provides scant resources for people seeking mental health assistance while on active duty. One soldier
featured in the Courant report tells Exposé he was referred to a chaplain by a physician's assistant. He
says the chaplain told him, "I would feel better once I got over to the desert and starting killing people."
Then there was Air Force veteran Warren Henthorn, whose son's warning signs were ignored as well.
Army Specialist Jeffrey Henthorn took his own life while serving in Iraq, the Courant reported. Henthorn
was one of 22 U.S. Army suicides in Iraq in 2005.

In a provocative report from the frontiers of biology, NOVA explores new findings that call into question
the long-held belief that all inherited traits are passed on by our genes. The fast-growing field of
epigenetics investigates hidden influences that could affect not only our health today but that of our
descendants far into the future. It now seems that our environment makes small chemical changes to our

DNA without affecting the gene's overall makeup. To put it another way, epigenetics adds to our DNA
another layer that acts as a control system of "switches." Experiential factors such as nutrition or stress
may trigger these switches and turn genes on or off. These subtle changes can then be "remembered"
and passed on from generation to generation, altering inherited traits. This means the lives of our
grandparents - the air they breathed, the food they ate, even the things they saw - could have directly
affected us, and that what we do could, in turn, affect our grandchildren. NOVA explores this fascinating
new idea, interviewing top scientists in the field and following what could be a paradigm shift in the way
we think about inheritance and genes.

The long and winding campaign road: vetoing healthcare, controlling the contractors, and Justice Thomas
speaks, tonight on "Washington Week." Rudy Giuliani [Former Mayor of New York] said, "I think we'll end
up where we have very good quarter, probably one of the best of the Republicans." Rudy Giuliani was
right, but not by much. The Republican presidential race is scrambled while the Democratic race is
hardening. We take a look. The politics of children's healthcare: why the president vetoed a controversial
bill. President George W. Bush stated, "Poor kids first." And why even some Republicans don't agree with
him. Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) said, "I think he's been given some pretty bad advice." The Blackwater
brouhaha: who controls the contractors? Sen. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), said, "Well, in America, if you
committed a crime you don't pack them up and ship them out of the country in two days." The silent
justice speaks: Clarence Thomas' surprising new memoir. Plus, what was this man thinking? Covering the
week, Gloria Borger of CNN and "U.S. News," Chuck Babington of the Associated Press, Linda Robinson
of "U.S. News and World Report," and Joan Biskupic of "USA Today."

What does it take for the average person to run one of the world's toughest races? NOVA finds out in a
program that's both a human story and an intriguing scientific exploration of the way our bodies respond
to intense exercise demands. Filmed in cooperation with the Boston Athletic Association, NOVA has been
granted unprecedented access to the Boston Marathon course and will take viewers on a unique
adventure inside the human body. Every year thousands of athletes from across the globe flock to Boston
to run the city's marathon, known worldwide as the ultimate test of stamina and endurance. In the
summer of 2006, NOVA began following 13 novices as they took the first step toward completing the
26.2-mile race in April 2007. The group of participants includes a variety of people from diverse
backgrounds - a young woman running in memory of her mother, who died in a tragic car accident; a
working single mom; even a former NFL linebacker - the unifying element is that not one of them is
currently a runner. Over the nine-month training period, exercise and nutrition scientists and doctors at
Tufts University use sophisticated technology to monitor the physical transformations that the participants
undergo. Intimate interviews reveal the highs and lows along the way. The experience will demand a
transformation of mind and body; NOVA cameras will be there, following every step.

NOW investigates the latest Congressional maneuvers to determine the fate of
a children's health care program. The State Children's Health Insurance
Program, or SCHIP, is a block grant from the federal government to cover
children whose family incomes exceed that which would make them eligible for
Medicaid, but are too low to afford private insurance. But the fund is
quickly running out of money. President Bush vetoed a bipartisan SCHIP
reauthorization bill on October 3, claiming it would attract recipients who
could otherwise afford private insurance. Now, the issue has become a
political free-for-all, with family lives hanging in the balance. As part of
its investigation, NOW interviewed Graeme Frost and his parents. Graeme is a
twelve year-old boy whose family has been using SCHIP to pay for his medical
expenses following a car accident. After Frost told his story as part of the
Democratic weekly radio address at the end of September, he and his family
became the targets of right wing attacks. Many are now asking: Did
Congressional Republicans assist in a smear campaign?

Cambodia and various locations in the United States, including New York City,
Kansas City, San Francisco and Cambridge. The film's basic themes address the
underlying causes of AIDS; the relationship between health, dignity and human
rights; and the universal need for action, compassion and commitment to
counter what has become the worst plague in human history.

What do homeless people most need to reenter the fabric of society? Some say
the answer is right there in the question: homes. NOW investigates a program
that secures apartments for the long-term homeless, even if they haven’t
kicked their bad habits. If you think that sounds crazy, think again.
Advocates say this approach reduces costs, encourages self-help and
counseling participation, and restores self-esteem. NOW follows a man
nicknamed ‘Footie’ who invited us to see this idea in action.

With Washington stuck in place on illegal immigration policy, local governments are taking the matter into
their own hands, shifting the cultural and political battleground from Pennsylvania Avenue to Main Street,
USA. On Friday, October 19 at 8:30 pm (check local listings), NOW catches up with two New Jersey
mayors who have sharply different - and politically surprising - approaches to dealing with undocumented
immigrants in their communities. Morristown mayor Don Cresitello, a Democrat, wants to invoke a
Department of Homeland Security provision that would grant his police department federal enforcement
powers in dealing with illegal immigrants. "They shouldn't be here, and we shouldn't be spending that
money on a population that's not supposed to be in this country," Mayor Cresitello tells NOW. An hour
away, Hightstown mayor Bob Patten has turned his little town into a "Sanctuary City" - a place where lawabiding illegal immigrants are protected and embraced. "We don't ask people what their immigration
status is now," says Mayor Patten. "We simply want to treat everybody justly, fairly. There's a due
process." NOW's David Brancaccio visits the mayors and members of their immigrant communities to
uncover the impact these measures are having, and the passions that fuel them.

The Post Register published the "Scouts' Honor" series in early 2005, and the paper immediately came
under fire from some in the community. The fallout of the stories ended up being far more dramatic than
anyone had anticipated. A prominent local company took out full-page ads in the paper challenging the
reporting and claiming, "the Post Register's real intent was to smear the Scout's good name and take
away what the Scouts value most, their honor." Additional victims came forward to tell their stories of
abuse. And one father, motivated by his sons' accounts of abuse, dedicated himself full-time to changing
Idaho's statute of limitations in cases involving the sexual abuse of minors.

On November 28, 2005, California Representative Randy "Duke" Cunningham resigned from office after
pleading guilty to taking more than $2.4 million in bribes from defense contractors seeking government
contracts. The story of Cunningham's downfall -- from legendary Vietnam War ace pilot to federal inmate - was publicly credited by the U.S. District Attorney's Office to the Pulitzer Prize-winning team of reporters
from Copley News Service and The San Diego Union-Tribune. Starting with the story of Cunningham's
suspicious house sale to defense contractor Mitchell Wade and using court records, Congressional travel
databases, confidential sources, and even scans of a high school yearbook, the reporting team
uncovered the murky side of Washington politics that continues to make headlines today. Exposé follows
the reporters' trail and talks to their sources about the way the contract game is played in Washington and
how willing lawmakers are to play it.

13 miners trapped in a mine in West Virginia. Television cameras join anxious
family members in the vigil. After nearly two days, news comes that 12 are
alive. But the good news is wrong, and it is hours before the correct
information reaches the families and the world -- there is only one survivor.
The tragedy of the Sago mine disaster garnered the intense attention of the
media in early January 2006, but few reporters dug deeper to find out if the
deaths of coal miners could have been prevented. Until reporter Ken Ward Jr.
and The Charleston Gazette did just that, by pouring over the accident
reports involving hundreds of miners. Ward found that most miners do not die
in disasters, in the glare of the media spotlight, but one by one, in mining
accidents that could have been avoided if mine operators had followed
existing regulations and safety rules. "They don't have to die," Ward
concluded. "That's what the reports show. That's what the record shows."

America in the 1960s and 70s was in turmoil. The civil rights struggle, the
war in Vietnam and the sexual revolution defined a nation in conflict. But at
10 o'clock every Saturday night, in dorms and dens, in living rooms and
bedrooms across the country, Americans watched "The Carol Burnett Show." For
11 years, the wacky performer yelled like Tarzan and won - and sometimes
broke - our hearts with her edgy, always sympathetic, characters. She could
fall down a flight of stairs or hold her own in a duet with Julie Andrews.
Yet, as with so many brilliant comedians, hers was a difficult childhood. A
glimpse of something deeper and darker began to emerge in the dramatic career
that followed her TV variety show.

On November 28, 2005, California Representative Randy "Duke" Cunningham
resigned from office after pleading guilty to taking more than $2.4 million
in bribes from defense contractors seeking government contracts. The story of
Cunningham's downfall -- from legendary Vietnam War ace pilot to federal
inmate -- was publicly credited by the U.S. District Attorney's Office to the
Pulitzer Prize-winning team of reporters from Copley News Service and The San
Diego Union-Tribune. Starting with the story of Cunningham's suspicious house
sale to defense contractor Mitchell Wade and using court records,
Congressional travel databases, confidential sources, and even scans of a
high school yearbook, the reporting team uncovered the murky side of
Washington politics that continues to make headlines today. Exposé follows
the reporters' trail and talks to their sources about the way the contract
game is played in Washington and how willing lawmakers are to play it.

In the midst of the holiday spending and consumption frenzy, Bill Moyers
interviews author Benjamin Barber about how capitalism isn’t living up to its
potential to serve society. "Capitalism is no longer manufacturing goods to
meet real needs and human wants," says Barber. "It's manufacturing needs to
sell us all the goods it's got to produce." Barber is the author of 17 books
including international best-seller Jihad vs. McWorld and Consumed: How
Markets Corrupt Children, Infantilize Adults, and Swallow Citizens Whole.
Also on the program: is it time to rewrite the Constitution? Moyers gets
perspective from the University of Texas Law School’s Sanford Levinson,
author of Our Undemocratic Constitution: Where the Constitution Goes Wrong
(and How We the People Can Correct It). And an update on changes to media
regulations voted on this week by the FCC.

After an overview of the Second World War, which engulfed the world from 1939 to 1945 and cost at least
50 million lives, inhabitants of four towns - Mobile, Alabama; Sacramento, California; Waterbury,
Connecticut; and Luverne, Minnesota - recall their communities on the eve of the conflict. For them, the
events overseas seem far away. Their tranquil lives are shattered by the Japanese attack on Pearl
Harbor, and America is thrust into the great cataclysm. Along with millions of other young men, Sid
Phillips and Willie Rushton of Mobile, Ray Leopold of Waterbury and Walter Thompson and Burnett Miller
of Sacramento enter the armed forces. In the Philippines, two Americans, Corporal Glenn Frazier and
Sascha Weinzheimer (who was eight years old in 1941), are caught up in the Japanese onslaught there,
as American and Filipino forces retreat onto Bataan while thousands of civilians are rounded up and
imprisoned in Manila. Back home, 110,000 Japanese Americans along the West Coast are forcibly
relocated by the government to internment camps. On the East Coast, German U-boats menace Allied
shipping offshore. The United States seems unprepared for this kind of total war. Witnessing all of this is
Katharine Phillips of Mobile and Al McIntosh, editor of the Rock County Star Herald in Luverne, who
chronicles the travails of every family in town. In June 1942, the Navy manages a victory over the
Japanese at the Battle of Midway. In August, American land forces, including Sid Phillips of Mobile, face
the Japanese army for the first time at Guadalcanal. Abandoned by their fleet with no sea or air support,
the men are under constant attack. After six months, the Americans finally prevail and, in the process,
stop Japan's expansion in the Pacific.

This film examines the visceral nature of war and the bravery of Native
American veterans who valiantly served in the United States military during
the wars of the 20th century, and explores the paradox of these proud
veterans who chose to fight for a country that considered them outside the
American mainstream. These gripping stories are told against the backdrop of
positive and negative themes familiar to Native Americans - the warrior
ethic, prejudice, forced assimilation, poverty, cultural pride, redemptive
acts and healing - through the prism of what it means to be "ogichidaa," or
one who protects and follows the ways of the warrior. Way of the Warrior uses
historical footage, period photographs and sound effects of war laid next to
more comfortable stateside settings of family and friends, reflecting the
complexity of Native American warriors' motivations.

These controversial resources may be major players in a sustainable energy

Faith, politics and campaign survival strategies, plus why the intelligence
community changed its mind on Iran, tonight on "Washington Week." It's all
about the definitions. On the Republican side, one leading candidate tries to
define himself. Gov. Mitt Romney (R-MA) said, "If I'm fortunate to become
your president, I will serve no one religion, no one group, no one cause, and
no one interest." While Democrats try to define each other. "How did running
for president become a qualification to be president? Well, this is not a job
you can learn about from a book," said Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY). Sen.
Barack Obama (D-IL) said, "It's silly season. I understand she's been quoting
my kindergarten teacher in Indonesia." Sen. John Edwards (D-NC) said, "I
think between Obama, Clinton and me it's a dead heat." And at the White
House, the president tries to redefine the Iranian nuclear threat. Pres.
George W. Bush said, "And so I view this report as a warning signal. They had
the program. They halted the program." Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) said,
"President Bush is the only person that I know that could get a report like
we received - the National Intelligence Estimate - yesterday on Iran, who
says that it's a warning signal." Who's right? Covering the week Michael
Duffy of TIME magazine, Michele Norris of National Public Radio, and David
Sanger of the New York Times.

What do homeless people most need to reenter the fabric of society? Some say
the answer is right there in the question: homes. NOW investigates a program
that secures apartments for the long-term homeless, even if they haven’t
kicked their bad habits. If you think that sounds crazy, think again.
Advocates say this approach reduces costs, encourages self-help and
counseling participation, and restores self-esteem. NOW follows a man
nicknamed ‘Footie’ who invited us to see this idea in action.

to run the city's marathon, known worldwide as the ultimate test of stamina and endurance. In the
summer of 2006, NOVA began following 13 novices as they took the first step toward completing the

backgrounds - a young woman running in memory of her mother, who died in a tragic car accident; a
working single mom; even a former NFL linebacker - the unifying element is that not one of them is
currently a runner. Over the nine-month training period, exercise and nutrition scientists and doctors at
Tufts University use sophisticated technology to monitor the physical transformations that the participants
undergo. Intimate interviews reveal the highs and lows along the way. The experience will demand a
transformation of mind and body; NOVA cameras will be there, following every step.

In 1950, 3 Jews and 2 blacks, all local New Yorkers, made college sports history and helped shift
America's attitudes about racial and religious integration. They were the starting 5 of the City College of
New York (CCNY) Basketball team. They are the only team ever to win the NIT and the NCAA
tournament in the same year. The following season a point shaving scandal would eclipse the team's
brilliant accomplishment and darken college basketball for years to come. Today-in another of Think

In August, NOW traveled with an unlikely alliance of Evangelical Christians and leading scientists to
witness the breathtaking effects of global warming on Alaska’s rapidly-changing environment. Though
many in the Evangelical community feel recognition of global warming is in opposition to their mission, the
week-long trip inspired new thinking on the relationship between science and religion, and on our moral
responsibility to protect the planet. On Friday, October 26 at 8:30 pm (check local listings), travel with
NOW and the expeditionary group on a breathtaking and surprising journey to find common ground

One of the latest battles in the war over evolution took place in a tiny town
of Dover in eastern Pennsylvania. In 2004, the local school board ordered
science teachers to read to their high school biology students a statement
that suggested there is an alternative to Darwin's theory of evolution.
Called Intelligent Design, the idea is that that life is too complex to have
evolved naturally and therefore had to have been designed by an intelligent
agent. The science teachers refused to comply with the order; alarmed parents
filed a lawsuit in federal court accusing the school board of violating the
separation of church and state. Suddenly, the small town of Dover was torn
apart by controversy, pitting neighbor against neighbor. NOVA captures the
emotional conflict in interviews with the townspeople, scientists and lawyers
who participated in the historic six-week trial, Kitzmiller, et. al. v. Dover
School District, et. al., which was closely watched by the world's media.
With re-creations based on court transcripts, NOVA presents the arguments by
lawyers and expert witnesses in riveting detail and provides an eye-opening
crash course on questions such as "What is evolution?" and "Does Intelligent
Design qualify as science?" For years to come, the lessons from Dover will
continue to have a profound impact on how science is viewed in our society
and how it's taught it in the classroom.

Pope John Paul II's travels to distant lands and his overtures to leaders of
other faiths to make common cause of world peace endeared him to millions.
When he died in 2005, the Vatican waived the five-year period of waiting
before considering beatification and moved almost immediately to "fast track"
the process, which is expected to be finalized before the anniversary of John
Paul II's birthday in 2007. This special program makes use of music, images
and the deceased pontiff's own words and statements in many languages to
enlighten viewers on the key themes that defined his papacy.

the fore by the disruption of an alleged terrorist plot, hatched in prison,

overcrowded correctional facilities offering little rehabilitation for

Pope John Paul II's travels to distant lands and his overtures to leaders of
other faiths to make common cause of world peace endeared him to millions.
When he died in 2005, the Vatican waived the five-year period of waiting
before considering beatification and moved almost immediately to "fast track"
the process, which is expected to be finalized before the anniversary of John
Paul II's birthday in 2007. This special program makes use of music, images
and the deceased pontiff's own words and statements in many languages to
enlighten viewers on the key themes that defined his papacy.

Author Bruce Feiler brings his award winning book to life as he takes an
archeological odyssey to visit the inscrutable desert landscape where the
world's greatest religions were born. The three-part series takes viewers to
some of the Bible's most inspiring places -- from the heights of Mount
Ararat, where according to the Bible Noah's ark landed; to the desert in
Turkey, where Abraham first heard the words of God and to the summit of Mt.
Sinai, where Moses received the Ten Commandments. Combing breathtaking
images, sweeping landscapes and intimate snapshots, the documentary puts a
visual face on the stories that continue to inspire the human spirit. The
first episode, "Go Forth: From Creation to Abraham," focuses on initial
problems entering hostile areas in the Middle East, meeting Avner Goren -- a
leading biblical archaeologist who becomes his traveling partner -- and the
forbidding and dangerous environment of the Mesopotamian highlands, where
civilization was born.

Faith, politics and campaign survival strategies, plus why the intelligence
community changed its mind on Iran, tonight on "Washington Week." It's all
about the definitions. On the Republican side, one leading candidate tries to
define himself. Gov. Mitt Romney (R-MA) said, "If I'm fortunate to become
your president, I will serve no one religion, no one group, no one cause, and
no one interest." While Democrats try to define each other. "How did running
for president become a qualification to be president? Well, this is not a job
you can learn about from a book," said Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY). Sen.
Barack Obama (D-IL) said, "It's silly season. I understand she's been quoting
my kindergarten teacher in Indonesia." Sen. John Edwards (D-NC) said, "I
think between Obama, Clinton and me it's a dead heat." And at the White
House, the president tries to redefine the Iranian nuclear threat. Pres.
George W. Bush said, "And so I view this report as a warning signal. They had
the program. They halted the program." Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) said,
"President Bush is the only person that I know that could get a report like
we received - the National Intelligence Estimate - yesterday on Iran, who

Pharaoh's dreams, he rises from slave to the heights of power and even brings
his brothers and father Jacob to live in Egypt. Feiler takes us from the
great temple of Karnak in Luxor, formerly ancient Thebes--to the pyramids and
sphinx of Giza, and descends into the royal burial tombs in the Valley of the
Kings. As he treks by camel, boat, horseback and even pyramid-climbing, he
discovers how the ancient Egyptian culture and religion influenced the
Israelites during their centuries-long stay in Egypt, especially in the
importance placed on dreams and story-telling. Feiler explores the ancient
ruins of cities where the Israelites were said to toil under an oppressive
pharaoh. Beginning at the shallow waters of the Nile, Feiler retraces the
story of one of the Bible's greatest figures, Moses, and his eventual
confrontation with Pharaoh to let his people go. Did the Israelites build the
pyramids? What could have caused the ten plagues? Was it really the Red Sea
Moses crossed? As Feiler confronts these questions, on the very body of water
that could have been where the waters were parted, he realizes that it isn't
the location, or even the event that's important, but that it was experienced
as an act of God.

who we are as Americans. Cahill is best known for his "The Hinges of History"
series of books, which includes the widely read "How the Irish Saved
Civilization." Cahill says his books ask how we became the people we are:
"It's human cruelty that is evil...We're not willing to acknowledge that this
is inside of us. It's there," he says. "I'm really interested in...what's
good about us." Also, Bill Moyers Journal looks back at an interview with

The Sinai Desert. In the concluding chapter of "Walking the Bible," Bruce
Feiler follows the Israelite's 40 year trek through what the Bible calls a
"great and terrible wilderness." Feiler experiences the stark reality of the
Sinai desert where it's a struggle simply to survive. He finds the locations
said to be where God provided water and food for the Israelites - and
discovers the secret of the tamarisk tree, which secrets a sweet, honey-like
substance called "manna." In the shadow of the mountain believed to be the
Biblical Mount Sinai, Feiler visits St. Catherine's Monastery, the oldest
operating church in the world. He attends the services, a powerful, unchanged
ritual of 1,500 years, and sees what's claimed to be the real "burning bush"
in which God spoke to Moses. One of the monks, Texas-born Father Justin,
shows him the Monastery's world-renowned library of priceless religious art
and manuscripts. Later, when Feiler climbs Mt. Sinai where Moses is said to
have received the Ten Commandments, he is struck by the spiritual
significance of the land, and its relationship to the people, and to God. As
he follows the 40 year route of the Israelites, he visits a local Bedouin
family who also derive sustenance from the desert and travels to the "lost
city" of Petra in Jordan, where the Israelites may have lived for many years.
Nearing the end of Moses' journey, Feiler climbs Mt. Nebo, where God shows
Moses the Promised Land the Israelites are about to enter. At the end of his
own journey, Feiler realizes that although Moses is denied entrance himself,
it is not the land after all that is important for Moses. It is his meeting
with God.

In a provocative report from the frontiers of biology, NOVA explores new findings that call into question
the long-held belief that all inherited traits are passed on by our genes. The fast-growing field of
epigenetics investigates hidden influences that could affect not only our health today but that of our
descendants far into the future. It now seems that our environment makes small chemical changes to our
DNA without affecting the gene's overall makeup. To put it another way, epigenetics adds to our DNA
another layer that acts as a control system of "switches." Experiential factors such as nutrition or stress
may trigger these switches and turn genes on or off. These subtle changes can then be "remembered"
and passed on from generation to generation, altering inherited traits. This means the lives of our
grandparents - the air they breathed, the food they ate, even the things they saw - could have directly
affected us, and that what we do could, in turn, affect our grandchildren. NOVA explores this fascinating
new idea, interviewing top scientists in the field and following what could be a paradigm shift in the way
we think about inheritance and genes.

As the Earth heats up at a dangerous rate and fossil fuels become scarcer, ordinary citizens and
businesses are bypassing the federal government to lead the way in exploring a clean, renewable source
of power: the sun. In this report, NOVA shines a light on how and why people across America and the
world are "going solar," using radiant energy of the sun to power homes, businesses, and even entire
communities. But can everyday people really make a difference by using solar power? And can solar
technologies, with their high cost and logistical challenges, truly play a bigger role in powering the future
of humanity? The grand hopes, latest innovations, roiling controversies, and practical realities of solar
power all come to the fore in this program.

What does it take for the average person to run one of the world's toughest races? NOVA finds out in a
program that's both a human story and an intriguing scientific exploration of the way our bodies respond
to intense exercise demands. Filmed in cooperation with the Boston Athletic Association, NOVA has been
granted unprecedented access to the Boston Marathon course and will take viewers on a unique
adventure inside the human body. Every year thousands of athletes from across the globe flock to Boston
to run the city's marathon, known worldwide as the ultimate test of stamina and endurance. In the
summer of 2006, NOVA began following 13 novices as they took the first step toward completing the
26.2-mile race in April 2007. The group of participants includes a variety of people from diverse
backgrounds - a young woman running in memory of her mother, who died in a tragic car accident; a
working single mom; even a former NFL linebacker - the unifying element is that not one of them is
currently a runner. Over the nine-month training period, exercise and nutrition scientists and doctors at
Tufts University use sophisticated technology to monitor the physical transformations that the participants
undergo. Intimate interviews reveal the highs and lows along the way. The experience will demand a
transformation of mind and body; NOVA cameras will be there, following every step.

One of the latest battles in the war over evolution took place in a tiny town
of Dover in eastern Pennsylvania. In 2004, the local school board ordered
science teachers to read to their high school biology students a statement
that suggested there is an alternative to Darwin's theory of evolution.
Called Intelligent Design, the idea is that that life is too complex to have
evolved naturally and therefore had to have been designed by an intelligent
agent. The science teachers refused to comply with the order; alarmed parents
filed a lawsuit in federal court accusing the school board of violating the
separation of church and state. Suddenly, the small town of Dover was torn
apart by controversy, pitting neighbor against neighbor. NOVA captures the
emotional conflict in interviews with the townspeople, scientists and lawyers
who participated in the historic six-week trial, Kitzmiller, et. al. v. Dover
School District, et. al., which was closely watched by the world's media.
With re-creations based on court transcripts, NOVA presents the arguments by
lawyers and expert witnesses in riveting detail and provides an eye-opening
crash course on questions such as "What is evolution?" and "Does Intelligent
Design qualify as science?" For years to come, the lessons from Dover will
continue to have a profound impact on how science is viewed in our society
and how it's taught it in the classroom.

At the intersection of the Internet and politics, presidential candidate Ron
Paul's supporters are rewriting the rules of political campaigns. NOW
explores how the Texas congressman and his supporters are using the Internet
to attract voters - and massive campaign contributions - from across the
political spectrum. Supporters include anti-war progressives, anti-tax
libertarians, civil libertarians, and even some white supremacists. The
common theme is anger over where the country is heading. "Ron Paul's campaign
491

is so extraordinary to many of us because even while it was getting massive
online traffic, you'd be lucky to get a whisper of his campaign in a lot of
media outlets," said Zephyr Teachout, Howard Dean's former online organizer
and now a Duke University professor. That anonymity changed when, on November
5, Paul's campaign raised a record-breaking $4.2 million—even though many of
his followers have little political activism experience and were acting
online without the help of Paul's official campaign. "I think the message
should be the only thing that counts, but you can't get the message out
without the money," Paul tells NOW. Can viral energy and passion in the
virtual world translate into real world votes?

NOW investigates the latest Congressional maneuvers to determine the fate of
a children's health care program. The State Children's Health Insurance
Program, or SCHIP, is a block grant from the federal government to cover
children whose family incomes exceed that which would make them eligible for
Medicaid, but are too low to afford private insurance. But the fund is
quickly running out of money. President Bush vetoed a bipartisan SCHIP
reauthorization bill on October 3, claiming it would attract recipients who
could otherwise afford private insurance. Now, the issue has become a
political free-for-all, with family lives hanging in the balance. As part of
its investigation, NOW interviewed Graeme Frost and his parents. Graeme is a
twelve year-old boy whose family has been using SCHIP to pay for his medical
expenses following a car accident. After Frost told his story as part of the
Democratic weekly radio address at the end of September, he and his family
became the targets of right wing attacks. Many are now asking: Did
Congressional Republicans assist in a smear campaign?

the answer is right there in the question: homes. NOW investigates a program

kicked their bad habits. If you think that sounds crazy, think again.
Advocates say this approach reduces costs, encourages self-help and
counseling participation, and restores self-esteem. NOW follows a man
nicknamed ‘Footie’ who invited us to see this idea in action.

NOVA looks back affectionately over the 30-year story of the development of
the world's first operational supersonic airliner. How did Concorde's
designers and engineers come up with their revolutionary design? What
happened to the dream that supersonic passenger flight would become an
everyday, affordable way to travel, expanding Concorde's business beyond its
luxury niche? Revisiting the thrill of its maiden flight of 1969 and the
tragic Paris crash of 2000, "Supersonic Dream" is a unique and colorful
aviation saga, drawing on rare behind-the-scenes footage and including
interviews with Concorde fans such as Henry Kissinger, David Frost and many
more.

It began as a hunch in the newsroom of the Hartford Courant and grew to become a major exposé. A
Courant investigation revealed shocking mental health care practices within the American armed forces practices which led to soldiers being medicated without proper oversight; soldiers being redeployed
despite suffering from post-traumatic-stress disorder (PTSD); and suicidal soldiers whose warning signs
were ignored. Courant journalists Lisa Chedekel and Matthew Kauffman had seen media reports that
recruitment standards were being lowered in order to offset personnel shortfalls and they wondered what
impact this was having on the military's standards for psychological care of its troops. They learned that
pre-deployment screenings were largely ineffective. In fact, only one question of eight on the predeployment questionnaire - Question 7 - pertained to mental health. It asks, "During the past year have
you sought counseling or care for your mental health? Yes or No." After analyzing data from over 900,000
questionnaires, the Courant reported in 2006 that those who came forward with psychological problems
were "rarely referred for evaluations by mental health professionals" and the vast majority of those who
answered "yes" to Question 7 were ultimately deployed. Further investigation revealed that the military
provides scant resources for people seeking mental health assistance while on active duty. One soldier
featured in the Courant report tells Exposé he was referred to a chaplain by a physician's assistant. He
says the chaplain told him, "I would feel better once I got over to the desert and starting killing people."
Then there was Air Force veteran Warren Henthorn, whose son's warning signs were ignored as well.
Army Specialist Jeffrey Henthorn took his own life while serving in Iraq, the Courant reported. Henthorn
was one of 22 U.S. Army suicides in Iraq in 2005.

Civil Public Service Work Camps - while another 6,000 spent the war years in prison. The film explains

After an overview of the Second World War, which engulfed the world from 1939 to 1945 and cost at least
50 million lives, inhabitants of four towns - Mobile, Alabama; Sacramento, California; Waterbury,
Connecticut; and Luverne, Minnesota - recall their communities on the eve of the conflict. For them, the
events overseas seem far away. Their tranquil lives are shattered by the Japanese attack on Pearl
Harbor, and America is thrust into the great cataclysm. Along with millions of other young men, Sid
Phillips and Willie Rushton of Mobile, Ray Leopold of Waterbury and Walter Thompson and Burnett Miller
of Sacramento enter the armed forces. In the Philippines, two Americans, Corporal Glenn Frazier and
Sascha Weinzheimer (who was eight years old in 1941), are caught up in the Japanese onslaught there,
as American and Filipino forces retreat onto Bataan while thousands of civilians are rounded up and

imprisoned in Manila. Back home, 110,000 Japanese Americans along the West Coast are forcibly
relocated by the government to internment camps. On the East Coast, German U-boats menace Allied
shipping offshore. The United States seems unprepared for this kind of total war. Witnessing all of this is
Katharine Phillips of Mobile and Al McIntosh, editor of the Rock County Star Herald in Luverne, who
chronicles the travails of every family in town. In June 1942, the Navy manages a victory over the
Japanese at the Battle of Midway. In August, American land forces, including Sid Phillips of Mobile, face
the Japanese army for the first time at Guadalcanal. Abandoned by their fleet with no sea or air support,
the men are under constant attack. After six months, the Americans finally prevail and, in the process,
stop Japan's expansion in the Pacific.

ways to punish Iran, but could they make military action more likely? Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson
said, "We are taking additional steps to combat Iran's dangerous conduct." In Iraq new pressure on the
hired guns. Rep. Sarbanes (D-MD.) stated, "I'm curious to know whether you regret the failures of the
department." Secretary Of State Condoleezza Rice said, "I certainly regret that we did not have the kind

said, "We're not going to forget you in Washington, D.C." But who really made the difference? Governor
Arnold Schwarzenegger said, "From the 2003 fire we have learned a lot." And what do the voters care
about? Are their priorities getting lost in campaign '08? Plus, some exciting news about what's ahead for

makes an unapologetic statement against, and generates discussion about, the
abuse of power, privilege and male dominance. Landscape photographer An-My
Lê's black-and-white images examine the impact, representation and meaning of
war, as well as the relationship between military activity and the
surrounding terrain. Lê draws on her own childhood experience as a refugee of
the Vietnam War to capture compelling photographs reflecting current American
involvement in the Middle East. Basing his work on research, reflection and
response to horrific events, Alfredo Jaar's installations, films and
community-based projects communicate a specific experience to his audience,
capturing beauty but also confronting horror. Jaar identifies the gap between
reality and its representation, and his work explores the limits of art to
accurately represent tragic world events, from genocide to poverty and
famine. Jenny Holzer, well-known for her subversive use of text and poetry,
focuses on cruelty, devastation, consumerist impulses, death and disease in
order to provoke a critical response from the viewer. Whether in an
installation of declassified war documents or a large-scale projection of
text from provocative essays, Holzer presents words in ways that are
overwhelming, exacting and illustrate the power of language to harm or heal,
expose or conceal.

After an overview of the Second World War, which engulfed the world from 1939
to 1945 and cost at least 50 million lives, inhabitants of four towns Mobile, Alabama; Sacramento, California; Waterbury, Connecticut; and Luverne,
Minnesota - recall their communities on the eve of the conflict. For them,
the events overseas seem far away. Their tranquil lives are shattered by the
Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, and America is thrust into the great
cataclysm. Along with millions of other young men, Sid Phillips and Willie
Rushton of Mobile, Ray Leopold of Waterbury and Walter Thompson and Burnett
Miller of Sacramento enter the armed forces. In the Philippines, two
Americans, Corporal Glenn Frazier and Sascha Weinzheimer (who was eight years
old in 1941), are caught up in the Japanese onslaught there, as American and
Filipino forces retreat onto Bataan while thousands of civilians are rounded
up and imprisoned in Manila. Back home, 110,000 Japanese Americans along the
West Coast are forcibly relocated by the government to internment camps. On
the East Coast, German U-boats menace Allied shipping offshore. The United
States seems unprepared for this kind of total war. Witnessing all of this is
Katharine Phillips of Mobile and Al McIntosh, editor of the Rock County Star
Herald in Luverne, who chronicles the travails of every family in town. In
June 1942, the Navy manages a victory over the Japanese at the Battle of
Midway. In August, American land forces, including Sid Phillips of Mobile,
face the Japanese army for the first time at Guadalcanal. Abandoned by their
fleet with no sea or air support, the men are under constant attack. After
six months, the Americans finally prevail and, in the process, stop Japan's
expansion in the Pacific.

This film examines the visceral nature of war and the bravery of Native
American veterans who valiantly served in the United States military during
the wars of the 20th century, and explores the paradox of these proud
veterans who chose to fight for a country that considered them outside the
American mainstream. These gripping stories are told against the backdrop of
positive and negative themes familiar to Native Americans - the warrior
ethic, prejudice, forced assimilation, poverty, cultural pride, redemptive
acts and healing - through the prism of what it means to be "ogichidaa," or
one who protects and follows the ways of the warrior. Way of the Warrior uses
historical footage, period photographs and sound effects of war laid next to
more comfortable stateside settings of family and friends, reflecting the
complexity of Native American warriors' motivations.

The second installment examines the ways in which four artists use their work
to picture war, express outrage and empathize with the suffering of others.
Politics and the brutality of war underscore many of Nancy Spero's paintings.
A pioneer of feminist art, she creates easily read yet complicated work that
makes an unapologetic statement against, and generates discussion about, the
abuse of power, privilege and male dominance. Landscape photographer An-My
Lê's black-and-white images examine the impact, representation and meaning of
war, as well as the relationship between military activity and the
surrounding terrain. Lê draws on her own childhood experience as a refugee of
the Vietnam War to capture compelling photographs reflecting current American
involvement in the Middle East. Basing his work on research, reflection and
response to horrific events, Alfredo Jaar's installations, films and
community-based projects communicate a specific experience to his audience,
capturing beauty but also confronting horror. Jaar identifies the gap between
reality and its representation, and his work explores the limits of art to
accurately represent tragic world events, from genocide to poverty and
famine. Jenny Holzer, well-known for her subversive use of text and poetry,
focuses on cruelty, devastation, consumerist impulses, death and disease in
order to provoke a critical response from the viewer. Whether in an
installation of declassified war documents or a large-scale projection of
text from provocative essays, Holzer presents words in ways that are
overwhelming, exacting and illustrate the power of language to harm or heal,
expose or conceal.

After an overview of the Second World War, which engulfed the world from 1939
to 1945 and cost at least 50 million lives, inhabitants of four towns Mobile, Alabama; Sacramento, California; Waterbury, Connecticut; and Luverne,
Minnesota - recall their communities on the eve of the conflict. For them,
the events overseas seem far away. Their tranquil lives are shattered by the
Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, and America is thrust into the great
cataclysm. Along with millions of other young men, Sid Phillips and Willie
Rushton of Mobile, Ray Leopold of Waterbury and Walter Thompson and Burnett
Miller of Sacramento enter the armed forces. In the Philippines, two
Americans, Corporal Glenn Frazier and Sascha Weinzheimer (who was eight years
old in 1941), are caught up in the Japanese onslaught there, as American and
Filipino forces retreat onto Bataan while thousands of civilians are rounded
up and imprisoned in Manila. Back home, 110,000 Japanese Americans along the
West Coast are forcibly relocated by the government to internment camps. On
the East Coast, German U-boats menace Allied shipping offshore. The United
States seems unprepared for this kind of total war. Witnessing all of this is
Katharine Phillips of Mobile and Al McIntosh, editor of the Rock County Star
Herald in Luverne, who chronicles the travails of every family in town. In
June 1942, the Navy manages a victory over the Japanese at the Battle of
Midway. In August, American land forces, including Sid Phillips of Mobile,

This film examines the visceral nature of war and the bravery of Native
American veterans who valiantly served in the United States military during
the wars of the 20th century, and explores the paradox of these proud
veterans who chose to fight for a country that considered them outside the
American mainstream. These gripping stories are told against the backdrop of
positive and negative themes familiar to Native Americans - the warrior
ethic, prejudice, forced assimilation, poverty, cultural pride, redemptive
acts and healing - through the prism of what it means to be "ogichidaa," or
one who protects and follows the ways of the warrior. Way of the Warrior uses
historical footage, period photographs and sound effects of war laid next to
more comfortable stateside settings of family and friends, reflecting the
complexity of Native American warriors' motivations.

Radical Islam has spread throughout Europe. Will this militant mindset become
"homegrown" and threaten the United States? "Homegrown," a special in the
AMERICA AT A CROSSROADS series, examines a crucial question: are U.S. prisons
incubators for radical Islam and terrorist ideology? The issue was brought to
the fore by the disruption of an alleged terrorist plot, hatched in prison,
in Los Angeles in 2005. Viewers meet key figures involved in the case. They
also meet prison imams and inmates for whom Islam has been an increasingly
popular lifeline, providing direction and purpose to their lives. But with
overcrowded correctional facilities offering little rehabilitation for

9/11 has indelibly altered America in ways that people are now starting to

frisks at the airport, but greater government scrutiny of people's records
and electronic surveillance of their communications. The watershed, officials
tell FRONTLINE, was the government's shift after 9/11 to a strategy of preemption at home -- not just prosecuting terrorists for breaking the law, but
trying to find and stop them before they strike.

You were thinking maybe a quiet holiday week? Not a chance. We'll tell you
why tonight on "Washington Week." The three branches of government on
overdrive. At the White House good news on Iraq: the violence in down, but
Democrats in Congress are not mollified. Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) said,
"Because the Pentagon says it you believe it? You believe what the Pentagon
says?" And the president's not too happy with Congress either. Pres. George
W. Bush said, "The leadership that's on the Hill now cannot get that job
done." Action of the Supreme Court, too, as the justices agree to step into a
big Second Amendment fight: who gets to own guns? And the race for president
takes no holiday. Mr.Gardner said, "I'm setting January 8th 2008 as the date
of the New Hampshire primary." But surprise: the names in the headlines are
Obama and Huckabee. Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-AR) said, "I think I'm pretty
doggone electable." Covering the stories this holiday week, Martha Raddatz of
ABC News, Charles Babington of the Associated Press, Jeff Zeleny of the New
York Times and Joan Biskupic of U.S.A. Today.

The week in review, the year in review tonight on "Washington Week." Sen.
Hillary Clinton (D-NY) said, "I never believe any election is at all
predictable, let alone inevitable." Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) said, "When I
was 20 points down, they all thought I was a wonderful guy, so obviously
things have changed." Sen. Joseph Lieberman (D-CT) said, "Let me just say
something for the record: none of the Democratic candidates asked for my
support. John McCain did." Pres. George W. Bush said, "I believe we will keep
the White House. I believe ours is the party that understands the nature of
the world in which we live and that the government's primary responsibility
is to protect the American citizens from harm." Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
said, "Even those of us who disagreed on the war have always agreed on at
least one thing, and that is that the troops in the field will not be left
554

without the resources they need." Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-MA) said, "It's
wrong to give the president another huge blank check for the war in Iraq.
Enough is enough. Enough is enough. Enough." Mitt Romney said, "The more
people come to know Mike Huckabee, the more they realize they don't know
about Mike Huckabee." Mike Huckabee said, "If we are so politically correct
in this country that a person can't say enough of the nonsense of political
attack ads, could we pause for a few days to say Merry Christmas to each
other, then we're really, really in trouble as a country." And that's just
what the nation's newsmakers had to say this week. Tonight we take a look at
the last seven days and the last 12 months. Elections, the rocky economy,
battles at home and abroad, with Jeanne Cummings of Politico, Doyle McManus
of The Los Angeles Times, and Alexis Simendinger of National Journal, plus
the observations of our "Washington Week" panelists on the big stories of
2007.

The Bhutto assassination, and Iowa finally prepares to vote, tonight on
"Washington Week." Pres. George Bush said, "Those who committed this crime
must be brought to justice." Wajid Hasan said, "She was never scared. I can
tell you this much. She was never scared of all these things. She was
concerned, no doubt, but she was never scared." Was Benazir Bhutto Pakistan's
best chance for peace and democracy? If so, what does her assassination mean

for a nuclear-armed Pakistan and its homegrown terrorism networks? The answer
touches on the past and the future. As U.S. presidential candidates display
their commander in chief credentials, Mayor Rudy Giuliani said, "The Islamic
terrorists would make a terrible mistake if they confuse our democracy for
weakness." Sen Hillary Clinton (D-NY) said, "On January 20th, 2009, the
problems that will await the next president are daunting." And in the race
toward Thursday's Iowa caucuses, Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) said, "There's no
shortage of anger and bluster and bitter partisanship out there. We don't
need more heat. We need more light." But who has the switch? Covering the
week, Janine Zacharia of Bloomberg News, John Dickerson of Slate magazine,
David Broder of the Washington Post and Karen Tumulty of Time magazine.
