straightforward style that owes much to Fred
Astaire"...

Talk of the Nation
Join Ray Suarez to discuss the controversial
nomination of a gay businessman to be the U-S
ambassador to Luxembourg...James Hormel's
confirmation has been stonewalled by a core group
of republicans because of his open homosexuality
and support of gay causes..And in the second
hour...a look at the art of bird watching...
HOUR 1: James Hormel Nomination
HOUR 2: Birdwatching
on today's
All Things
Considered,
4-7 p.m.
Later today on All Things Considered...the strong
relationship between Republicans and business
leaders is now under some strain...some
businesspeople think that they were misled about
how the Republican-led Congress would legislate.
Now Democrats are hoping political action
committees will shift some contributions their
way... to help them regain control of the House.
Shifting alliances...and the day's news, later on
NPR's All Things Considered.
