represents the listeners' interests within NPR.  He'll join Diane to
talk about some of the issues he's tackled so far, to welcome
questions and comments on NPR's programming, and to explain why he
believes that as ombudsman, his priority is keeping the "public" in
National Public Radio.

11-12: Ted Conover: Ted Conover tells the story of his year working
at New York's notoriously troubled maximum security prison, Sing
Sing. As a journalist, he was unable to gain access to write about

and of the relationship between inmate and jailer.
