HOUR ONE: DEBATE PREVIEW: Today's presidential debate provides voters

the candidates?  What voters can learn from the first presidential
debate

HOUR TWO: FUTURE OF FEMINISM: What is feminism these days, and who is
it for?  With  equal rights under the law largely established, many

In fact many young women reject the label.  But a vocal group of
young women are fighting to change that complacency.
