No Right to Choose? Last month, South Dakota signed into law the country’s
most restrictive abortion ban, outlawing abortions in almost all cases,
including rape, incest and to protect the mother’s health. NOW examines how
anti-abortion activists have a much broader agenda, targeting sex education,
contraception, and even the intimate personal decisions of young men and
women. When is it appropriate for personal morality to become government
policy?

Speed. Meth. Glass. On the street, methamphetamine has many names. What
started as a fad among motorcycle gangs in the 1970s has become big business,
largely due to the efforts of two Mexican drug runners who began smuggling
ephedrine -- the same chemical used to make over-the-counter cold remedies -into California by the ton. Hundreds of illegal meth labs are now operating
in the western United States, and the effects are sweeping the nation. From
coast to coast, meth abuse is on the rise, but who's responsible? Is the
government doing enough to crack down on this latest drug craze? In a
reporting partnership with The Oregonian, FRONTLINE investigates America's
addiction to meth and exposes the inherent conflict between the illegal drug
trade and the legitimate three-billion-dollar cold remedy business.

Format:
Documentary
In a few short years, American Indians in California went from being the
poorest people in the state to among the richest--from being virtually
invisible, to being the most powerful political lobby in the 6th largest
economy in the world. For the Cabazon and Morongo tribes of Southern
California, the plaintiffs in the landmark Supreme Court case, the potential
wealth from gambling was unimaginable. Years of excruciating poverty have not
been lost on three-time chairwoman Mary Ann Andreas of the Morongo tribe,
whose reservation is near Palm Springs. She remembers the dirt floor shack of
her childhood, and the impossibility of dreaming for the wealth the tribe
now holds. For Viejas tribal Chairman Anthony Pico, the abundance of today
harks back to the times before contact with Europeans. Today, the State is
trying to charge a gaming tax greater than the standard corporate rate, a
challenge to the newly found abundance of California tribes. CALIFORNIA'S
"LOST" TRIBES is the first documentary to go behind the facade of glitz and
glamour of American Indian casinos to reveal the current conflicts over
Indian gaming, explore the historical underpinnings of tribal sovereignty,
and the evolution of tribal gaming over the last thirty years. Concern over
gaming is further stoked by the development of casinos in rural lands,
creating friction between tribes and non-Indians. CALIFORNIA'S "LOST"
TRIBES captures the impact of gaming on Indian self-determination, and the
challenges Native people face in defining the identity of their people for
the future.

American Experience presents The Alaska Pipeline, a one-hour documentary from producer Mark Davis.
"The Trans-Alaska Pipeline changed just about everything and everyone it touched," says Davis, "from the
people who opposed it to the people who supported it, the people who built it, and the state of Alaska."
Workers battled Arctic weather to construct an 800-mile pipeline that traversed three mountain ranges, 34
rivers, and 800 streams, and that withstood earthquakes and extreme cold. The men, machines and money
the pipeline brought to Alaska would forever transform the wilderness.

American mayor of a major city without a black majority and concludes with the political empowerment of
Latinos and the election of Antonio Villaraigosa, Los Angeles' first Latino mayor in more than 130 years.

"In Your Eyes": Musician and human rights activist Peter Gabriel is empowering people to document
human rights abuses in their own backyards and bring them to the world’s attention. His organization,
Witness, is based in Brooklyn, but has electronic eyes all over the world, acting under the motto "see it,
film it, change it." Gabriel opens up to David Brancaccio about his horror at abuses as far away as Burma
and as close as California, and how his efforts have led to real change. "I think it appalls you at first when
you start seeing what people actually do in the world. But I find some of the people you meet, that are
fighting the abuses, extraordinary," says Gabriel.

On June 5, 1989, one day after Chinese troops expelled thousands of
demonstrators from Tiananmen Square in Beijing; a solitary, unarmed protester
stood his ground before a column of tanks advancing down the Avenue of
Eternal Peace. Captured by Western photographers watching nearby, this
extraordinary confrontation became an icon of the fight for freedom around
the world. Veteran filmmaker Antony Thomas investigates the mystery of the
tank man -- his identity, his fate, and his significance for the Chinese
leadership. The search for the tank man reveals China's startling social
compact -- its embrace of capitalism while dissent is squashed -- designed to
stifle the nationwide unrest of 1989. This policy has allowed educated
elites and entrepreneurs to profit handsomely, while the majority of Chinese
still face brutal working conditions and low wages, and all Chinese must
endure strict political and social controls. Some of these controls regulate
speech on the Internet -- and have generated criticism over the involvement
of major U.S. corporations such as Yahoo!, Cisco, Microsoft, and Google.

The New Los Angeles explores the complexities of inclusion in Los Angeles - the nation's largest majority
minority city and the city with the largest divide between rich and poor. The documentary is a powerful
portrait of a city in transition, beginning in 1973 with the election of Mayor Tom Bradley, the first African
American mayor of a major city without a black majority and concludes with the political empowerment of
Latinos and the election of Antonio Villaraigosa, Los Angeles' first Latino mayor in more than 130 years.

Speed. Meth. Glass. On the street, methamphetamine has many names. What
started as a fad among motorcycle gangs in the 1970s has become big business,
largely due to the efforts of two Mexican drug runners who began smuggling
ephedrine -- the same chemical used to make over-the-counter cold remedies -into California by the ton. Hundreds of illegal meth labs are now operating
in the western United States, and the effects are sweeping the nation. From
coast to coast, meth abuse is on the rise, but who's responsible? Is the
government doing enough to crack down on this latest drug craze? In a
reporting partnership with The Oregonian, FRONTLINE investigates America's
addiction to meth and exposes the inherent conflict between the illegal drug
trade and the legitimate three-billion-dollar cold remedy business.

The story of the sycamore fig and its tiny pollinator describes one of the

wasp. It is a relationship of utter dependency and a triumph of coevolution. The detailed behavioral intrigue of the wasps that live hidden
inside each fig contrasts with the tree's prominence in the African bush,
where it is central to the lives of many animals - from elephants and ants,
to birds and crocodiles. It provides for all, in ways which are diverse yet

A powerful tornado is a terrifying phenomenon that continues to defy decades
of scientific efforts to predict it. During one of the worst tornado seasons
on record, a NOVA camera team chased across the Midwest, capturing hairraising footage of highly destructive twisters in action. But HUNT FOR THE
SUPERTWISTER is much more than just another "extreme weather" show. Our story
focuses on the efforts of two scientists at the University of Oklahoma to
develop radically different approaches to forecasting twisters: one relies on
"virtual tornados" created inside supercomputers, while the other involves
hunting down real-life storms to collect data firsthand (the method that
inspired the movie Twister). With jaw-dropping 3-D graphics generated by the
National Center for Supercomputing Applications, NOVA's show features
spectacular footage of these terrifying twisters. HUNT FOR THE SUPERTWISTER
gives viewers a front-row seat to the risky and thrilling art of storm
chasing, complete with the latest research findings and state-of-the-art
visual effects.

Scientific research has discovered that something is terribly wrong with our environment and that much of
our planet's wildlife is in danger of going extinct. Wildlife extinctions are not a new phenomena. On at
least five occasions during our planet's long geological history, catastrophic events wiped out vast numbers
of species. The last great extinction happened sixty-five million years ago when a giant asteroid crashed
into the Earth. The ash sealed the fate of the dinosaurs along with over seventy-five percent of the world's
plants and animals. But today, the threat of what scientists call "the sixth extinction" won't come from outer
space or a volcanic eruption. The next extinction will be the result of human activities. The urgency to
avoid a sixth extinction presents us with enormous challenges. What we need now are the efforts of people
everywhere - all those who are willing to find ways to strike the right balance - between what we want and what our planet's wildlife can endure.

dimmer. Increasing air pollution allows less and less sunlight to reach earth's surface, a 'global dimming'
that disturbs rainfall patterns and is creates severe droughts. In an even more alarming twist, there is
concern that recent success in solving the dimming problem is greatly accelerating global warming, melting
ice caps and flooding coastal cities. NOVA examines a baffling climate conundrum and follows the
disturbing implications of the discovery for our planet's future.

When David Vetter died at the age of 12, he was already world famous: the boy
in the plastic bubble. Mythologized as the plucky, handsome child who had
defied the odds, his life story is in fact even more dramatic. It is a tragic
tale that pits ambitious doctors against a bewildered, frightened young
couple. It is a story of unendingly committed caregivers and resourceful
scientists on the cutting edge of medical research. This AMERICAN EXPERIENCE
raises some of the most difficult ethical questions of our age. Did doctors,
in a rush to save a child, condemn the boy to a life not worth living? Did
they, in the end, effectively decide how to kill him?

Format:
Documentary
In a few short years, American Indians in California went from being the
poorest people in the state to among the richest--from being virtually
invisible, to being the most powerful political lobby in the 6th largest
economy in the world. For the Cabazon and Morongo tribes of Southern
California, the plaintiffs in the landmark Supreme Court case, the potential
wealth from gambling was unimaginable. Years of excruciating poverty have not
been lost on three-time chairwoman Mary Ann Andreas of the Morongo tribe,
whose reservation is near Palm Springs. She remembers the dirt floor shack of
her childhood, and the impossibility of dreaming for the wealth the tribe
now holds. For Viejas tribal Chairman Anthony Pico, the abundance of today
harks back to the times before contact with Europeans. Today, the State is
trying to charge a gaming tax greater than the standard corporate rate, a
challenge to the newly found abundance of California tribes. CALIFORNIA'S
"LOST" TRIBES is the first documentary to go behind the facade of glitz and
glamour of American Indian casinos to reveal the current conflicts over
Indian gaming, explore the historical underpinnings of tribal sovereignty,
and the evolution of tribal gaming over the last thirty years. Concern over
gaming is further stoked by the development of casinos in rural lands,
creating friction between tribes and non-Indians. CALIFORNIA'S "LOST"
TRIBES captures the impact of gaming on Indian self-determination, and the
challenges Native people face in defining the identity of their people for
the future.

Changes at the White House. What do they have to do with price of tea, or China? Tonight on Washington
Week. It's not exactly musical chairs at the White House these days, but it's close. Scott McClellan is out;
Donald Rumsfeld apparently is in. As chief strategist, Karl Rove refocuses on the politics of survival: the
White House in transition. But what has any of that mean when gas prices are the only thing anyone is
talking about? And when even a picture-perfect visit from an important foreign dignitary is disrupted.
What's a president to do? We look at the week's events with reporters and editors who've been covering
them: Alexis Simendinger of National Journal; John Harris of the Washington Post; David Wessel of the
Wall Street Journal; and David Sanger of the New York Times.

Iran, Iraq, the politics of gas prices, and the continuing cost of Katrina, tonight on "Washington Week."
President Bush was talking gas prices today and so it seemed was everybody else all week. But that wasn't
the only challenge on the president's plate: he hired a new White House spokesman, he threatened to veto
on Congressional spending, his deputy chief of staff visited a grand jury, the secretaries of state and defense
were dispatched to Iraq. And as the president visited Katrina-ravaged New Orleans, senators called for
FEMA to be abolished. Where to begin? With the reporters covering the stories this week: Martha Raddatz
of ABC News, Jackie Calmes of the Wall Street Journal, Janine Zacharia of Bloomberg News, and Spencer
Hsu of the Washington Post.

1960: a bag containing letters written on papyrus nearly two thousand years ago. The letters were written
by one of the great figures of Jewish history, the rebel Bar-Kokhba, who led a heroic guerilla uprising
against the Romans. Now Biblical scholar Richard Freund returns to the cave with the latest archaeological
techniques, hoping to find more traces of Bar-Kokhba's epic struggle. Instead, Freund comes up with
tantalizing new finds that lead him to a radical and controversial theory. Could the treasure concealed in the
cave be a long-lost relic of the great temple in Jerusalem destroyed by the Romans? NOVA joins Freund in
a fascinating detective hunt that plunges him into the heated scholarly debates of Biblical archaeology.

A powerful tornado is a terrifying phenomenon that continues to defy decades
of scientific efforts to predict it. During one of the worst tornado seasons
on record, a NOVA camera team chased across the Midwest, capturing hairraising footage of highly destructive twisters in action. But HUNT FOR THE
SUPERTWISTER is much more than just another "extreme weather" show. Our story
focuses on the efforts of two scientists at the University of Oklahoma to
develop radically different approaches to forecasting twisters: one relies on
"virtual tornados" created inside supercomputers, while the other involves
hunting down real-life storms to collect data firsthand (the method that
inspired the movie Twister). With jaw-dropping 3-D graphics generated by the
National Center for Supercomputing Applications, NOVA's show features
spectacular footage of these terrifying twisters. HUNT FOR THE SUPERTWISTER
gives viewers a front-row seat to the risky and thrilling art of storm
chasing, complete with the latest research findings and state-of-the-art
visual effects.

Scientific research has discovered that something is terribly wrong with our environment and that much of
our planet's wildlife is in danger of going extinct. Wildlife extinctions are not a new phenomena. On at
least five occasions during our planet's long geological history, catastrophic events wiped out vast numbers
of species. The last great extinction happened sixty-five million years ago when a giant asteroid crashed
into the Earth. The ash sealed the fate of the dinosaurs along with over seventy-five percent of the world's
plants and animals. But today, the threat of what scientists call "the sixth extinction" won't come from outer
space or a volcanic eruption. The next extinction will be the result of human activities. The urgency to
avoid a sixth extinction presents us with enormous challenges. What we need now are the efforts of people
everywhere - all those who are willing to find ways to strike the right balance - between what we want and what our planet's wildlife can endure.

concern that recent success in solving the dimming problem is greatly accelerating global warming, melting
ice caps and flooding coastal cities. NOVA examines a baffling climate conundrum and follows the

No Right to Choose? Last month, South Dakota signed into law the country’s
most restrictive abortion ban, outlawing abortions in almost all cases,
including rape, incest and to protect the mother’s health. NOW examines how
anti-abortion activists have a much broader agenda, targeting sex education,
contraception, and even the intimate personal decisions of young men and
women. When is it appropriate for personal morality to become government
policy?

When David Vetter died at the age of 12, he was already world famous: the boy
in the plastic bubble. Mythologized as the plucky, handsome child who had
defied the odds, his life story is in fact even more dramatic. It is a tragic
tale that pits ambitious doctors against a bewildered, frightened young
couple. It is a story of unendingly committed caregivers and resourceful
scientists on the cutting edge of medical research. This AMERICAN EXPERIENCE
raises some of the most difficult ethical questions of our age. Did doctors,
in a rush to save a child, condemn the boy to a life not worth living? Did
they, in the end, effectively decide how to kill him?

America's aging baby boomers are headed for a shock as they near retirement. In
addition to Social Security, the pillars of retirement income for Americans have
been either lifetime corporate pensions or employee-contribution plans such as
401Ks. But both retirement strategies are in trouble. Buffeted by pension cuts,
corporate bankruptcies, and the 2001-2002 stock market crash, most boomers now

Although the financial markets will be closed on Monday, May 29, 2006, for
Memorial Day, Nightly Business Report and Nightly Business Report News Brief
will be fed as usual. Nightly Business Report will broadcast a holiday special
called, “Work in Progress.” Instead of minding machines, as our mothers and
fathers did, American workers are now challenged to master increasing
sophisticated technologies. It's no longer enough to just follow instructions,
“problem solving” is now a job requirement. At the same time, our country is
undergoing a dramatic demographic shift from an older workforce, to one
dominated by younger, minority workers. Despite this wave of change, the average
level of formal education in our workforce is the same as it was 25 years ago.
By most measures, income inequality is growing and workers are taking on more
economic risk on the job. In many ways, the nation is unprepared for the
challenges of the changing workplace.

John Ford is considered by many the greatest American director, the winner of

actor whom he transformed from a B-western cowboy into a larger-than-life
national icon. Their friendship and professional collaboration spanned 50 years,
changed each other's lives, changed the movies and, in the process, changed how
America saw itself. Their remarkable body of work - including Stagecoach, Fort
Apache, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, Rio Grande, The Searchers, The Horse Soldiers
and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance - is heroic and nostalgic, reflecting all
the elements and all the paradoxes in 20th century America: generosity of
spirit, abuse of power, a sense of loyalty and a new, restless nationalism.

"Wright Brothers' Flying Machine"--December 17, 2003, marks the centennial of
the world's first powered flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. To celebrate
this milestone, NOVA presents the definitive documentary on the invention of the
airplane. While many shows have retold the Wright brothers' personal story, no
program has properly explored the astonishing inventiveness that they applied to
the problem of powered flight. NOVA reveals that the popular image of the
Wrights as amateur bicycle mechanics who tinkered their way into the sky is a
total myth. The program features exhilarating footage of flights by exclusively
commissioned replicas that use the same original materials and the only existing
Wright engine for the frail craft that first propelled humans toward the clouds.
The triumph of powered flight comes alive once more in NOVA's epic documentary.

"Two Days in October"--Based on the book They Marched Into Sunlight by the
Pulitzer Prize-winning writer David Maraniss, this AMERICAN EXPERIENCE
production tells the story of two turbulent days in October 1967. In Vietnam, a
U.S. battalion unwittingly marches into a Viet Cong trap. Sixty-one young men
are killed and as many wounded. The ambush prompts some in power to wonder
whether the war might be un-winnable. Half a world away, angry students on the
campus of the University of Wisconsin protest the presence of Dow Chemical,
makers of napalm. The demonstration spirals out of control, marking the first
time that a student protest of the war turns violent. Told almost entirely by
the people who took part in the harrowing events of those two days - American
and Viet Cong soldiers, police officers, relatives of men killed in battle,
protesting students, members of a political mime troupe and university
administrators - the film opens a window onto a moment that divided a nation and
a war that continues to haunt us.

Philadelphia was a thriving metropolis with a robust economy fueled by a strong
manufacturing base. At its peak, its population grew to more than 2.1 million
people. In the 1950s, Philadelphia was hit hard as our national economy shifted
away from heavy manufacturing. As factories closed or moved away, Philadelphia
witnessed an unprecedented population loss of over a half a million people, who
left the city to hunt for work. Some neighborhoods lost half to two thirds of
their residents leaving a staggering 26,000 vacant homes, 31,000 vacant lots and
2,500 vacant industrial and commercial buildings. As a result, Philadelphia's
neighborhoods were plagued with crack dens, drug pushers, and prostitution.
Fortunately, the people here have revived the city in the spirit of the first
Philadelphia, called by its founder William Penn, "a holy experiment." Their
efforts have led to a renaissance in our nation's first city. This is the story
of their sustainable success.

for an advance on the bonus compensation promised to them years earlier. After
camping throughout Washington for two months, the veterans were driven out by
force, as rising military figures General Douglas MacArthur, Major Dwight
Eisenhower and Major George Patton cleared out the "Bonus Army" and burned their
camps. By the time the clashes were over, two marchers and two children were

bootlegger and a sometimes musician, he personifies the 20th-century African
American migration from the rural south to the urban north. Songs like "Hoochie
Coochie Man," "I Just Wanna Make Love to You," "Still a Fool" and "Rolling
Stone" speak for both a people and an era --"Rolling Stone" inspired a band and
a magazine. Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and Eric Clapton, among
others, kept Muddy in the popular pantheon, openly embracing the elements that
Muddy exemplified -- an unflinching honesty and an insistence on deep emotion in
music.

An estimated half-million women are trafficked annually for the purpose of
sexual slavery. The women are kidnapped -- or lured by traffickers who prey on
their dreams of employment abroad - then they are "exported" to Europe, the
Middle East, the United States and elsewhere, where they are sold to pimps,
drugged, terrorized, locked in brothels and raped repeatedly. In Eastern Europe,
since the fall of communism, sex trafficking has become the fastest growing form
of organized crime, with Moldova and Ukraine widely seen as the centers of the
global trade in women and girls. FRONTLINE presents a unique hidden camera look
at this world of sexual slavery, talking with traffickers and their victims, and
exposing the government indifference that allows the abuses to continue
virtually unchecked. "Sex Slaves" also follows the remarkable journey of one man
determined to find his trafficked wife by posing as a trafficker himself to buy
back her freedom.

Although the financial markets will be closed on Monday, May 29, 2006, for
Memorial Day, Nightly Business Report and Nightly Business Report News Brief
will be fed as usual. Nightly Business Report will broadcast a holiday special
called, “Work in Progress.” Instead of minding machines, as our mothers and
fathers did, American workers are now challenged to master increasing
sophisticated technologies. It's no longer enough to just follow instructions,
“problem solving” is now a job requirement. At the same time, our country is
undergoing a dramatic demographic shift from an older workforce, to one
dominated by younger, minority workers. Despite this wave of change, the average
level of formal education in our workforce is the same as it was 25 years ago.
By most measures, income inequality is growing and workers are taking on more
economic risk on the job. In many ways, the nation is unprepared for the
challenges of the changing workplace.

Mystery of the Megaflood

"Mystery of the Megaflood"--It was the greatest flood of the past two million
years, and it posed a giant scientific riddle. A maverick geologist became
convinced that near the end of the last ice age, thousand-foot-deep floodwaters
had scoured out vast areas of the American northwest. Mainstream scientists
scorned his theory, while he searched patiently for answers to what could have
triggered such an inconceivably violent event. Finally, a remarkable discovery
silenced the skeptics: traces of an enormous ice dam half a mile high, which had
blocked a valley in present-day Montana and created an enormous lake behind it.
With the help of stunning, realistic animation, NOVA takes viewers back to the
Ice Age to reveal what happened when the dam broke, unleashing a titanic flood
that swept herds of woolly mammoth and everything else into oblivion.

Not everyone who came in contact with the Black Plague bacteria, which ravaged
medieval Europe, died. Geneticist Steven O'Brien is trying to find out why some
survived when so many others perished. His investigation takes him to a little
town in England that was hit by the plague in 1665. Using historical records,
town archives and modern forensic techniques, O'Brien turns the town into a
medical case study that reveals some startling information about the disease.
After proving that the scourge in the town really was plague and not some other
disease, he discovers that the people who managed to survive were blessed with a
genetic mutation that made them immune to the effects of the bacteria. Even more
startling, that same genetic mutation has now been proven to give some people
immunity to the most deadly disease of the modern age -- AIDS. This program
tells the story of the survivors of the devastating plague and takes viewers on
a journey of investigation into the world of a deadly pandemic.

and how this performer uniquely broke through major racial barriers in the
entertainment industry - he was the first black American to have his own
national radio show, in 1948, and he was the first black American to have his
own television show, in 1956. His musical origins were as a young Chicago jazz
pianist but he became known as - and accepted as, even in those turbulent times
- a melodious, smooth singer of such popular songs as Mona Lisa, Too Young, It's
Only a Paper Moon, Unforgettable and the Christmas season perennial Chestnuts
Roasting on an Open Fire. With open access to the Cole family - including, of
course, his daughter Natalie - and his record label (EMI) archives, a picture of
great courage is painted.

for an advance on the bonus compensation promised to them years earlier. After
camping throughout Washington for two months, the veterans were driven out by
force, as rising military figures General Douglas MacArthur, Major Dwight
Eisenhower and Major George Patton cleared out the "Bonus Army" and burned their
camps. By the time the clashes were over, two marchers and two children were
dead, and the Bonus Army incident had become a political liability for President
Hebert Hoover.

In 1932, a remarkable event occurred in Washington, D.C. In the darkest days of
the Depression, unemployed World War I veterans marched on Washington, looking
for an advance on the bonus compensation promised to them years earlier. After
camping throughout Washington for two months, the veterans were driven out by
force, as rising military figures General Douglas MacArthur, Major Dwight
Eisenhower and Major George Patton cleared out the "Bonus Army" and burned their
camps. By the time the clashes were over, two marchers and two children were
dead, and the Bonus Army incident had become a political liability for President
Hebert Hoover.

"Wright Brothers' Flying Machine"--December 17, 2003, marks the centennial of
the world's first powered flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. To celebrate
this milestone, NOVA presents the definitive documentary on the invention of the
airplane. While many shows have retold the Wright brothers' personal story, no
program has properly explored the astonishing inventiveness that they applied to
the problem of powered flight. NOVA reveals that the popular image of the
Wrights as amateur bicycle mechanics who tinkered their way into the sky is a
total myth. The program features exhilarating footage of flights by exclusively
commissioned replicas that use the same original materials and the only existing
Wright engine for the frail craft that first propelled humans toward the clouds.
The triumph of powered flight comes alive once more in NOVA's epic documentary.

00:45:47
In 1912, amateur fossil hunter Charles Dawson made the shattering claim that
he'd discovered the bones of a primitive human in a gravel pit at Piltdown,
Sussex. Believing this was the long-sought evidence of the "missing link"
between apes and mankind, British scientists were suddenly at the forefront of
the worldwide quest for human origins. It took 40 years for the shocking truth
to emerge: the Piltdown man was not a scientific treasure but a fiendishly
elaborate hoax. Since this unmasking, suspicion has fallen not only on Dawson
but on a host of possible conspirators, including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle,
creator of Sherlock Holmes. NOVA reviews the gallery of suspects and the twists
and turns of the bizarre, unsolved story of science's greatest fraud, which
still teases and tantalizes investigators.

"Mystery of the Megaflood"--It was the greatest flood of the past two million
years, and it posed a giant scientific riddle. A maverick geologist became
convinced that near the end of the last ice age, thousand-foot-deep floodwaters
had scoured out vast areas of the American northwest. Mainstream scientists
scorned his theory, while he searched patiently for answers to what could have
triggered such an inconceivably violent event. Finally, a remarkable discovery
silenced the skeptics: traces of an enormous ice dam half a mile high, which had
blocked a valley in present-day Montana and created an enormous lake behind it.
With the help of stunning, realistic animation, NOVA takes viewers back to the
Ice Age to reveal what happened when the dam broke, unleashing a titanic flood
that swept herds of woolly mammoth and everything else into oblivion.

An estimated half-million women are trafficked annually for the purpose of
sexual slavery. The women are kidnapped -- or lured by traffickers who prey on
their dreams of employment abroad - then they are "exported" to Europe, the
Middle East, the United States and elsewhere, where they are sold to pimps,
drugged, terrorized, locked in brothels and raped repeatedly. In Eastern Europe,
since the fall of communism, sex trafficking has become the fastest growing form
of organized crime, with Moldova and Ukraine widely seen as the centers of the
global trade in women and girls. FRONTLINE presents a unique hidden camera look
at this world of sexual slavery, talking with traffickers and their victims, and
exposing the government indifference that allows the abuses to continue
virtually unchecked. "Sex Slaves" also follows the remarkable journey of one man
determined to find his trafficked wife by posing as a trafficker himself to buy
back her freedom.

Philadelphia: The Holy Experiment

Philadelphia was a thriving metropolis with a robust economy fueled by a strong
manufacturing base. At its peak, its population grew to more than 2.1 million
people. In the 1950s, Philadelphia was hit hard as our national economy shifted
away from heavy manufacturing. As factories closed or moved away, Philadelphia
witnessed an unprecedented population loss of over a half a million people, who
left the city to hunt for work. Some neighborhoods lost half to two thirds of
their residents leaving a staggering 26,000 vacant homes, 31,000 vacant lots and
2,500 vacant industrial and commercial buildings. As a result, Philadelphia's
neighborhoods were plagued with crack dens, drug pushers, and prostitution.
Fortunately, the people here have revived the city in the spirit of the first
Philadelphia, called by its founder William Penn, "a holy experiment." Their
efforts have led to a renaissance in our nation's first city. This is the story
of their sustainable success.

"Two Days in October"--Based on the book They Marched Into Sunlight by the
Pulitzer Prize-winning writer David Maraniss, this AMERICAN EXPERIENCE
production tells the story of two turbulent days in October 1967. In Vietnam, a
U.S. battalion unwittingly marches into a Viet Cong trap. Sixty-one young men
are killed and as many wounded. The ambush prompts some in power to wonder
whether the war might be un-winnable. Half a world away, angry students on the
campus of the University of Wisconsin protest the presence of Dow Chemical,
makers of napalm. The demonstration spirals out of control, marking the first
time that a student protest of the war turns violent. Told almost entirely by
the people who took part in the harrowing events of those two days - American
and Viet Cong soldiers, police officers, relatives of men killed in battle,
protesting students, members of a political mime troupe and university
administrators - the film opens a window onto a moment that divided a nation and
a war that continues to haunt us.

Joseph Goebbels was the Nazi propaganda mastermind who helped launch Hitler's
rise to power. A twentieth-century icon of maniacal cruelty, his name is
synonymous with cynical, unscrupulous and, at times, successful propaganda. In
this AMERICAN EXPERIENCE production Goebbels speaks for himself through the
film's only narration: voice-over readings of his personal diaries by actor
Kenneth Brannagh. Rare historical footage from German archives traces the life
of the second most powerful man in the Third Reich, detailing his initial
attraction to the Nazi party and his adoration of Hitler. The film offers a
chilling glimpse into Goebbels' brilliant but disturbing mind, revealing how he
continually stage managed his life and reinvented himself - from his early days
as a radical "popular socialist" to his tragic end. The result is a fascinating
psychological portrait of a man who careened extravagantly between self-pity,
wild extermination fantasies and political excesses.

00:56:46
In 1926, just a few months before her death, Will Rogers described Annie Oakley
as "the greatest woman rifle shot the world has ever produced." As the star
attraction of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, she thrilled audiences around the
world with her daring shooting feats and her act helped fuel turn-of-the-century
nostalgia for the vanished, mythical world of the American West. Over time she
became an American legend-the loud, brassy, cocksure shooter celebrated in the
musical "Annie Get Your Gun." But that legend had little to do with the real
Annie Oakley. Although famous as a Western sharpshooter, Oakley lived her entire
life east of the Mississippi. A champion in a man's sport, she forever changed
ideas about the abilities of women, yet she opposed female suffrage. Her fame
and fortune came from her skill with guns, yet she was a Quaker. This probing
AMERICAN EXPERIENCE production examines the dramatic life of a uniquely American
icon whose complex character manifested many of the paradoxes of the nation.

Today, the headlines are filled with speculation about changes in the U.S.
Supreme Court and what those changes might mean for abortion -- an issue that
has divided the country for over 30 years. Heated rhetoric from both sides
continues to be heard in courtrooms and on the campaign trail. But while
attention is often focused on the arguments, there is another story playing
out in local communities. Pro-life advocates have waged a successful campaign
to reduce abortions in many places throughout the country. By using state
laws to regulate and limit abortion and by creating their own clinics to
offer alternatives to women, they have changed the facts on the ground.
FRONTLINE investigates the steady decline in the number of physicians and
clinics performing abortions and focuses on local political battles in states
like Mississippi, where only a single clinic performs the controversial
procedure.

George Gershwin's compositions present two somewhat conflicting musical
personalities: the composer of serious music and the ingenious tunesmith of
popular songs. This program highlights this dichotomy as it looks at the man
and the artist through the eyes of some of the people who knew him--lyricist
Irving Caesar, his sister Frances Godowsky, and his lifelong friend Mabel
Schirmer. Michael Feinstein performs some of his songs.

When Albert Einstein died in 1955, he left behind a remarkable scientific
legacy - and an extraordinary secret. In 1986, newly discovered love letters
revealed a marriage hidden in the shadows for more than 30 years. Before
moving to America in 1933 with his second wife and first cousin, Elsa,
Einstein had married his university sweetheart and scientific collaborator,
Mileva Maric, a courageous young woman of exceptional intellect. This program
reveals the truth of the life and work of the remarkable, forgotten woman who

Every year, more than a million people visit the Rotunda at the National
Archives in Washington to gaze at three documents that define our nation's
heritage: the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of
Rights. But these touchstones of democracy are in serious trouble. The ink is
flaking from parchments that are already badly faded, while the glass
casements built to exhibit them are disintegrating. To head off the danger,
the Archives embarked on a five-year project to design state-of-the-art
encasements and a new rotunda. NOVA was given exclusive behind-the-scenes
access to this unique project from start to finish. The result is a brilliant
evocation of the colorful history of these documents and an insider's look at
the extraordinary engineering efforts that are safeguarding America's
equivalent of the Crown Jewels.

PBS
00:56:46
An intriguing story about the lives and times of Lise Meitner and Otto Hahn,
two remarkable scientists whose extraordinary collaboration culminated in the
discovery of nuclear fission in 1938, turning Einstein's "theory" into atomic
science. Not only did these two revolutionize the history of science and the
role of women in physics and chemistry, their tale also parallels the social
changes and turbulent history of their times. It involves the war against
memory, Nazi intimidation, forced exile, betrayal, and a Nobel Prize awarded
only in chemistry that to this day distorts science history. This documentary
explores the development of atomic science in the first part of the twentieth
century. It captures Meitner's efforts to make her way in the male-dominated
world of physics, Hahn's early work and independent discoveries, their
collaboration, the racial and political discrimination that forced Meitner to
live in exile, and ongoing speculation about her exclusion from the Nobel
Prize. These elements are explored through photos, letters, notes, stock
footage, and maps; interviews with writers, scientists, and historians; and
music of the day. Sound effects and animated graphics are employed in the
presentation of the science.

Today, the headlines are filled with speculation about changes in the U.S.
Supreme Court and what those changes might mean for abortion -- an issue that
has divided the country for over 30 years. Heated rhetoric from both sides
continues to be heard in courtrooms and on the campaign trail. But while
attention is often focused on the arguments, there is another story playing
out in local communities. Pro-life advocates have waged a successful campaign
to reduce abortions in many places throughout the country. By using state
laws to regulate and limit abortion and by creating their own clinics to
offer alternatives to women, they have changed the facts on the ground.
FRONTLINE investigates the steady decline in the number of physicians and
clinics performing abortions and focuses on local political battles in states
like Mississippi, where only a single clinic performs the controversial
procedure.

The Last Abortion Clinic

6/6/2006 9:00:00 PM
PBS
Today, the headlines are filled with speculation about changes in the U.S.
Supreme Court and what those changes might mean for abortion -- an issue that
has divided the country for over 30 years. Heated rhetoric from both sides
continues to be heard in courtrooms and on the campaign trail. But while
attention is often focused on the arguments, there is another story playing
out in local communities. Pro-life advocates have waged a successful campaign
to reduce abortions in many places throughout the country. By using state
laws to regulate and limit abortion and by creating their own clinics to
offer alternatives to women, they have changed the facts on the ground.

debates Iraq. Should we stay or should we go? Can the Democrats agree on a

secret investigative tactic is revealed - the government's been tracking
money transfers without your knowledge. But how broad is the government
sweep? At the Supreme Court, a unanimous ruling in favor of employees'
rights. What does it tell us about the intentions of the Roberts' court? And
in federal court, a former Bush administration aide is convicted on charges
arising out of ties to former lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Where else do those

ENDING AIDS... is the story of one of the greatest scientific and

people and organizations that are rising to meet it. While exploring some of
the deepest mysteries facing science today, ENDING AIDS shows how the quest
for a vaccine is also being shaped by social, political and economic forces,
such as competing bureaucratic priorities and business incentives, the
ability of governmental and non-governmental institutions to speed or slow
development and testing of promising vaccines, and the heated ethical debates
over where and how vaccine trials should be conducted.

trying detainees at the Guantanamo Naval Base in Cuba. Another upholding a
politically motivated congressional map in Texas while rejecting a racially
motivated one. What did these decisions tell us about this court and about

drilling rights on public property. “These oil companies along with some
members of Congress have really engineered one of the greatest train
robberies of all time,” says California Congressman George Miller. NOW
investigates oil royalty manipulation and speaks to a whistleblower who says
oversight control was weakened to keep more money in the coffers of Big Oil.

In this episode, "NOVA" explores the history and science of explosives. When
Chinese alchemists experimented with various properties during the ninth
century -- ironically in the search for a medicine that would make them
immortal -- a crude form of gunpowder was created and modern explosives were
born. Scientists, including Alfred Nobel, began their quest for the perfect
explosive compound. When Nobel, a noted pacifist, harnessed the power of
nitroglycerine and invented dynamite, he changed warfare forever. His impact
and those of other scientists are chronicled in "Kaboom!"

An intriguing story about the lives and times of Lise Meitner and Otto Hahn,
two remarkable scientists whose extraordinary collaboration culminated in the
discovery of nuclear fission in 1938, turning Einstein's "theory" into atomic
science. Not only did these two revolutionize the history of science and the
role of women in physics and chemistry, their tale also parallels the social
changes and turbulent history of their times. It involves the war against
memory, Nazi intimidation, forced exile, betrayal, and a Nobel Prize awarded
only in chemistry that to this day distorts science history. This documentary
explores the development of atomic science in the first part of the twentieth
century. It captures Meitner's efforts to make her way in the male-dominated
world of physics, Hahn's early work and independent discoveries, their
collaboration, the racial and political discrimination that forced Meitner to
live in exile, and ongoing speculation about her exclusion from the Nobel
Prize. These elements are explored through photos, letters, notes, stock
footage, and maps; interviews with writers, scientists, and historians; and
music of the day. Sound effects and animated graphics are employed in the
presentation of the science.

Often hailed as both the first modern scientist and the last of the ancient
magicians, Isaac Newton reduced nature's chaos to a single set of
mathematical laws. More than three centuries later, those laws still govern
the way we analyze and forecast the motions of everything from roller
coasters to comets. Besides his fundamental breakthroughs in physics, optics
and calculus, Newton poured vast energy into fruitless explorations of
alchemy and religion. With lively period re-creations of key moments in his
career and replications of his experiments in optics and alchemy, NOVA
explores how Newton became the giant upon whose shoulders all later
scientists found a place to stand.

This week, NOW talks to director Chris Paine about his upcoming documentary
"Who Killed the Electric Car?" The film looks at the hopeful birth and
untimely death of the electric car, an environmentally-friendly, cost-saving
salvation to some, but a profit barrier to others. In a film that has all the
elements of a murder mystery, Paine points the finger at car companies, the
oil industry, bad ad campaigns, consumer wariness, and a lack of commitment
from the U.S. government.

In this episode, "NOVA" explores the history and science of explosives. When
Chinese alchemists experimented with various properties during the ninth
century -- ironically in the search for a medicine that would make them
immortal -- a crude form of gunpowder was created and modern explosives were
born. Scientists, including Alfred Nobel, began their quest for the perfect
explosive compound. When Nobel, a noted pacifist, harnessed the power of
nitroglycerine and invented dynamite, he changed warfare forever. His impact
and those of other scientists are chronicled in "Kaboom!"

"Toxic Transport" Every day, thousands of tons of deadly chemicals are moving
through our towns and cities, largely unguarded and vulnerable to a terrorist
attack. The government knows that, if attacked, these shipments could cause
great harm and many fatalities, but are we doing enough about it? NOW
investigates how, nearly five years after 9/11, our trains, boats and trucks
carrying hazardous materials could be left so defenseless. Former Deputy
Homeland Security Advisor Richard Falkenrath calls the exposure of these
chemicals "the single greatest danger of a potential terrorist attack in our
country."

When Albert Einstein died in 1955, he left behind a remarkable scientific
legacy - and an extraordinary secret. In 1986, newly discovered love letters
revealed a marriage hidden in the shadows for more than 30 years. Before
moving to America in 1933 with his second wife and first cousin, Elsa,
Einstein had married his university sweetheart and scientific collaborator,
Mileva Maric, a courageous young woman of exceptional intellect. This program
reveals the truth of the life and work of the remarkable, forgotten woman who
contributed substantially, as both wife and scientific equal, to Einstein's
great scientific achievements.
