The Diane Rehm Show (10a.m. - Noon):
        Hour One: Genetically Modified Foods: Earlier this month,
several companies recalled taco shells and other corn products found
to contain genetically modified strains of corn that isn't approved
for human consumption. A panel talks about whether biotech firms,
farmers, food manufacturers and distributors are up to the challenges
presented by genetically modified crops, and what further steps the
government could take to regulate food processing and labeling.
        Hour Two: Maya Lin: Artist and architect Maya Lin's most
famous project is the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C. --
which she designed when she was still a college undergraduate. In her
new book, "Boundaries" (Simon & Schuster), she  shares other works,
both small-scale and huge, and  discusses her approach to art and
design.


Fresh Air (Noon - 1p.m.):
        Singapore's first prime minister and its current senior
minister -- Lee Kuan Yew. A very controversial figure, he formed the
People's Action Party, and won the first Singapore general election
in 1959. Since it was granted independence in 1965, Singapore has
gone from British colony to Asian economic powerhouse. Yet, its
government is often criticized for being too authoritarian and weak
on civil liberties. Lee Kuan Yew will talk about his country's
economic success, as well as the criticism about his government's
treatment of its citizens. His new book is called From Third World to
First.  Also, Journalist Stan Sesser. He covers the Pacific Rim for
The New Yorker. His articles have appeared in the New Yorker, the New
Republic and Mother Jones, and has written extensively about Lee Kuan
Yew.

Public Interest (1p.m. - 2p.m.):
        Are you the next Spielberg? Today's "Tech Tuesday" discussion
is about new digital technology that puts advanced filmmaking
capabilities in the hands of  everyone.

Talk of the Nation (1p.m. - 3p.m.):
        Hour One: Should a couple stay together for the sake of their
children? For 25 years, Judith Wallerstein has studied a group of
Californians who all lived through their parents' divorce. She found
that the lingering effects of their parents' breakup still effects
them in profound ways. Other researchers dispute her findings.
        Hour Two: New Yorkers are often accused of being
self-absorbed, but this week they've got good reason to be-- a World
Series between the Mets and the Yankees. There hasn't been a subway
series since 1956 when the Yankees took seven games to beat the
Brooklyn Dogers in Ebbett's field.
