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

10-11: Sentencing Guidelines: A little-talked-about Supreme Court
decision on sentencing procedures struck down a New Jersey hate
crimes law and could wipe out many state sentencing laws and federal
statutes. A panel talks about Apprendi v. New Jersey and its
implications nationwide.
         Guests: Bill Moffitt, former president of the National
Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers; Bruce Fein, attorney
specializing in Constitutional law and syndicated columnist

11-12: Michael Paterniti: Michael Paterniti (patter-NIT-ee) tells the
story of an unlikely cross-country road trip he embarked on a few
years ago.  The vehicle was a rented Skylark, his passenger was an
84-year-old pathologist, their cargo was the preserved brain of
Albert Einstein, and their destination was the home of Einstein's
granddaughter in California.  "Driving Mr. Albert" (Dial Press) is a
true story.



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

Screenwriter and director John Waters talks about his new movie Cecil
B. Demented, a comedy about an independent director who leads a cult
