Friday, June 25: Y2K: What Can You Do to Prepare?

Darrel Gray will talk with guests and listeners about the Y2K computer bug.
Some say it's nothing more than exagerrated hype, and others say it heralds
the end of modern civilization as we know it.  These two drastically
divergent opinions will be addressed, but more importantly, we'll talk
about what *you* can do to prepare for the situation, whatever ends up
happening.

Guests: Craig Smith will join us by telephone from California.  Craig
launched Y2KNET in 1997 to raise public awareness of the looming Y2K
problem; and William Ray Turner, from the Butler County Emergency
Management Agency

Garrett, US News & World Report; Gerry Seib, Wall Street Journal

11-12: Tony Hiss: Author Tony Hiss discusses his memoir of growing up as
the son of Alger Hiss, who was convicted of perjury and accused of spying
for the Soviet Union during the Cold War.  "The View From Alger's Window"
(Knopf) includes letters the elder Hiss wrote his family from his
Pennsylvania prison cell.


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

   Talk of the Nation/Science Friday, 2-4 p.m. (*live on WMUB)

Host: Ira Flatow

HOUR ONE: MEDICAL INFORMATION AND PRIVACY: Who wants access to your medical
records, and why? And what is being done to protect your privacy?

HOUR TWO: JAMES BURKE/ OPEN PHONES: writer and television personality James
Burke who will discuss his new book, "The Knowlege Web." Plus your
questions for Ira in our monthly open phones segment.


   All Things Considered, 4-7 p.m.

The year-long Friday series "Lost and Found Sound" features the lost sounds
of our listeners --  found -- and restored. Our Quest for Sound phone line
brings calls from listeners who not only want to contribute to the
series... but just want to HEAR the sound again. Precious moments are
sometimes stored on material such as cardboard, aluminum, wire, and 78 rpm
records. In some cases the material is so old that its condition has
deteriorated.  We called in a "sound restorer" to help bring listeners
special moments back to life.
