                       10-11: Missile Defense Systems: In the 80s, Ronald
Reagan met heavy criticism for what  became known as "Star Wars" -- a way
to shoot incoming nuclear missiles out of the sky  before they could harm
Americans. But the idea never went away, and now there's  considerable
momentum behind development of several such systems. A panel talks about
why missile defense is back, the science behind it, and what the costs are.

again," says feminist author Germaine  Greer. In her new book, "The Whole
Woman" (Knopf), she takes on the health care system,  the workplace, the
status of women in developing countries, and much more.
