    The Diane Rehm Show, 10-12 noon (*2 full hours on WMUB)

10-11: Nasdaq vs. Dow Jones: Last week, the Nasdaq Composite Index
went above 5000 for the first time ever.  It's dipped back down this

chips are the best bet at this point.  A panel of stock market
observers joins Diane to give their views on where the market is
headed.

author of "Dow 36,000" (Times Books); Knight Kiplinger, editor of
Kiplinger's Personal Finance Magazine and author of "World Boom
Ahead" (Kiplinger Books); Robert Shiller, Yale University and author
of "Irrational Exuberance" (Princeton University Press)

11-12: Dr. Sherwin Nuland: Dr. Sherwin Nuland of Yale University
discusses his latest book, "The Mysteries Within" (Simon & Schuster).
He examines the earliest myths and legends about illness, healing,
and the human body, and how they have shaped the history of medicine,
and even continue to influence doctors today.



    Fresh Air with Terry Gross, 12:06-1 p.m.

Actress HILARY SWANK and director KIMBERLY PIERCE from the new film
"Boys Don't Cry."  The film is based on  the true story of a
Nebraskan teenage girl who successfully passes herself off as a boy.
When her true identity is discovered she is raped and killed.
