Sound Health with Marianne Russ (9am - 10am, repeated 7pm -8pm) Our
monthly FitTalk program, co-hosted by "Dr. Jay" Kimiecik, PhD, Associate
Professor in Health Promotion at Miami University.
 This month: an encore presentation from March 28, 2001. "Girls on the
Run." Guest: Molly Barker,  Founder and Executive Director  of Girls on
the Run International, an organization that provides preadolescent
girls, through physical activity, with the enabling tools  to embrace
their girlhood gifts as they enter middle and high school and then on
into adulthood.

The Diane Rehm Show (10am - Noon)
Hour one:  Illegal Small Arms Trade:  Diane and her guests talk about
the recent U.N. conference on the illegal international trade in small
arms and the U.S.  decision to resist certain proposals that would have
banned private ownership of certain weapons and  prevented governments
from supplying arms to rebel  groups. GUESTS: Jo Marie Griesgraber,
director of policy for Oxfam America;  Lincoln Bloomfield, Asst. Sec. of
State for Political-Military Affairs

Hour two: Hampton Sides: In his new book "Ghost Soldiers" (Doubleday),
journalist  Hampton Sides describes a daring World War  Two rescue
attempts in the Philippines. In 1945, a small band of U.S. Army Rangers
and Filipino guerrilla  soldiers went behind  enemy lines to try and
liberate American troops from a brutal Japanese prison camp. The story
of that mission made headlines at  the time, but today is all but
forgotten.

Fresh Air with Terry Gross (Noon - 1pm)
Reporter GEORGE ANASTASIA has been covering the Philadelphia mob scene
for the Philadelphia Inquirer for 15 years.  He'll discuss the recent
trial of reputed mob boss Joseph "Skinny Joey" Merlino and his
associates, which just wrapped up last week. The jury  acquitted Merlino
and his associates of the  serious charges of murder, attempted murder,
and drug trafficking, but convicted them  of racketeering. During the 15
week trial, 90 witnesses took the stand and 943 evidentiary exhibits
were introduced.

Public Interest with Kojo Nnamdi (1pm - 2pm)
Vincent J. Cannato: John Lindsay (Basic Books) John Lindsay was a
liberal Republican reformer with movie-star looks.  He was supposed to
bring glamour and hope to New York City when he became mayor in 1965.
But instead his career and the city
 crumbled.  Join Kojo for a look into the political life of a man once
dubbed the "White Knight."

Talk of the Nation with Juan Williams (2pm - 4pm)
Hour one:  Guest: Mitch Daniels, Director of the White House's Office of
Management and Budget   Have you received your tax  rebate check yet?
The first batch was sent out last  week. President Bush hopes you'll
spend your money to help boost the  economy.  But critics say the tax
cut jeopardizes spending on programs, such as education and prescription
drugs, and could require  tapping into the Medicare trust fund.

Hour two: WHY DO PRESCRIPTION DRUGS COST SO MUCH?  Guests: Frank
Clemente, Director, Public Citizen Congress Watch;  Wayne Pines,
Consultant to the Pharmaceutical Industry and Former, FDA Chief
Spokesman during Carter administration.    A new
report by the consumer advocacy group "Public Citizen" says the
government pays half the cost of creating new prescription drugs.  But
Americans pay more for their drugs than people in many other countries.
 Juan Williams talks with industry experts about the  rising the cost of
prescription drugs.

All Things Considered (4pm - 7pm)
Americans are getting more concerned about threats to their privacy,
according to the polls.  New technology is providing new opportunities
for governments, companies and individuals to snoop. Some worry we're on
an unwitting path to a "surveillance state"  as cameras proliferate and
access to information is made easier by the Internet. The Changing Face
of America series examines  privacy Wednesday on All Things Considered.
