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

10-11: E-Mail Privacy: E-mail provides thousands of workers a quick
and easy way to communicate. But messages are difficult to destroy
once they are created.  Also, most employers can choose to read what
workers write, therefore monitoring how they spend their time, who
they're talking to, and whether they might be jeopardizing company
secrets.  Some advocates say workers have privacy rights that ought
to extend to the new technology.  A panel talks about technology and
privacy in the workplace.
         Guests: David Sobel, Electronic Privacy Information Center;
Terry Stackpole, Electronic Messaging Association; John Jessen, CEO
of Electronic Evidence Discovery; Richard Smith, internet security
consultant

11-12: Nancy Lloyd: NPR's personal finance commentator, Nancy Lloyd,
discusses "Simple Money Solutions" (Times Books), her new guide for
people who are confused, overwhelmed, and just not sure how to get
control of their finances. Sound like anyone you know?



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

The director of "The Cup" -- a new film about a group of
soccer-obsessed monks. It was shot in a monastery in Bhutan, with a
cast of actual monks. The director himself is a Tibetan Buddhist lama
who is making his film debut.
