10-11: War Journalism: Hundreds of news reports are
coming out of the war-torn Yugoslav province of Serbia called Kosovo. The
Serbian media is operating under strict wartime conditions, but the
American media also has been criticized for reporting only part of the
story. Diane talks with media experts about how armed conflict is covered
by news agencies -- how they get their information and make choices about
what to report. They'll also discuss how the news shapes public opinion
and warfare itself.

New Republic; Marvin Kalb, Shorenstein Center for Press, Politics & Public

introduces us to the many healthy properties of Asian cuisine in her
cookbook, "A Spoonful of Ginger" (Knopf). As a young woman, she chose to go

about what she's learned from the Chinese about preparing foods that taste
good and are good for you too.
