The Diane Rehm Show (10a.m. - Noon):
Hour One: U.S. military bases in the Middle East are on high
alert, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak officially suspended peace
talks, and Arab nations have condemned violence but affirmed their
support for a Palestinian state. A panel talks about the evolving
crisis in Israel and the Palestinian territories, and the future of
the peace process.
Hour Two: Bariatric Surgery: Each year, about 40,000
severely overweight Americans undergo drastic abdominal surgery on a
voluntary basis. The procedure, known as "bariatric surgery,"
reconfigures a patient's stomach and small intestine so he eats less,
and absorbs less of what he does eat. A panel of guests talks about
determining who are appropriate candidates for the surgery, and the
risks and benefits most patients experience.
Fresh Air (Noon - 1p.m.):
Journalist Elaine Sciolino talks about her experiences
covering Iran over the past 20 years. Terry will also discuss Iran's
position in the current Middle East crisis. And, a discussion about
the World Series, with baseball historian Jules Tygeil.
Public Interest (1p.m. - 2p.m.):
Did you know that you're made of stardust? Astronomer John
Gribbin joins Kojo to discuss how elements are cooked by nuclear
fusion inside stars and scattered across the universe.
Talk of the Nation (1p.m. - 3p.m.):
Hour One: After nearly a year of delays, government
subsidized Amtrak finally announced the launching of its high-speed
Acela Express service train. Passengers will be able to travel
between Washington and Boston on the high-speed rail just in time for
the Christmas holidays. Is Acela the way to make Amtrak independent?
Join guest host Neal Conan for a conversation with the President of
Amtrak, George Warrington, on the future of the train.
Hour Two: Prize-winning author Richard Ben Cramer has written
a new book called Joe DiMaggio: The Hero's Life. The biography
dissects the many layers of the American Mythic tale of Joe DiMaggio
and shows us the more complex man. During this World Series week,
join guest host Neal Conan for a look at arguably the quintessential
New York Yankee, Joe DiMaggio.
