Hour 1: Bipolar Disorder: Mental health experts estimate that

on the latest maneuverings.

Talk of the Nation (2 - 4 pm)
Hour 1: THE LOCKERBIE VERDICT: Judges have reached a verdict
in the trial of two Libyans accused of the 1988 bombing of Pan Am
flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. More than 200 people testified
in the trial which has taken nine months. Was justice done...and will
the verdict bring resolution for sfamilies of the victims?
Hour 2: THE POLITICS OF STEM CELL RESEARCH: Last week,
anti-abortion protesters called on President Bush to block federal
funds for research on so-called embryonic stem cell research, a
controversial new field of bio-medical study. At the same time in the
UK, the House of Lords passed legislation legalizing the cloning of
human embryos specifically for use in stem cell research. Should the
potential to save a few lives out-weigh the potential life of one
embryo?
