>
>A leading spiritual voice, Sister Joan Chittister is calling on the
>media to responsibly and accurately report on the social, economic and
>political injustices plaguing our society. Bill Moyers talks with Sister
>Joan about how religion has been so strong a dividing line in American
>politics.  Sister Joan is a best-selling author of more than 30 books,
>an international peace activist, founder of BENETVISION.ORG, a Web site
>which focuses on contemporary spirituality, and a regular columnist for
>the NATIONAL CATHOLIC REPORTER.

>===================================================================
>CHRISTIAN PARENTI
>
>Just back from Afghanistan, war journalist Christian Parenti provides a
>close up view of the realities on the ground and the disturbing balance
>between powerful warlords and the US-backed Karzai government and an
>economy dependent on the poppy trade.  David Brancaccio sits down with
>Parenti, a regular columnist of THE NATION and author most recently of
>THE FREEDOM: SHADOWS AND HALLUCINATIONS IN OCCUPIED IRAQ.
>
>===================================================================
>LAURENCE KOTLIKOFF
>
>In the wake of a hard-fought election with a divided nation looking
>toward the next four years, campaign proposals about deficits, taxes,
>and Social Security are on the table.  But what do the President's
>economic plans really outline for Americans?  David Brancaccio talks to
>Larry Kotlikoff, an economist who's developed a highly-regarded method
>of calculating the fiscal burden we're leaving our children.  Kotlikoff
>chairs the economics department at Boston University and is a research
>associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research.  He is the
>co-author of THE COMING GENERATIONAL STORM:  WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT
>AMERICA'S ECONOMIC FUTURE.
