Meditation as Medicine. Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D, author and workshop presenter
The Diane Rehm Show (10am - Noon)
Note: Diane is expected back today from her treatment for spasmodic dysphonia.
Hour One: Fair Trade Movement: Activists around the world are working
with farmers and artisans in the developing world to protect their
rights and help them increase their profits from export of their
goods to the industrialized world. The most prominent of these
efforts in the U.S. takes the form of so-called "Fair Trade" coffee.
But some believe these efforts are misguided. A panel talks about
this and other "fair trade" initiatives and how they compare with
outcomes of free trade arrangements. Guests: Deborah James, Global
Exchange; Frank Vargo, National Association of Manufacturers; Paul
Magnuson, Businessweek
Hour Two: Ariel Dorfman: Chilean expatriate and acclaimed writer
Ariel Dorfman talks with Diane about his latest work of fiction,
entitled "Blake's Therapy." It's the story of a man whose company is
downsized, a blow that prompts him to seek therapy, touching off a
personal journey that forces him to deal with disparate issues
relating to ethics, voyeurism, and economic globalization.
Fresh Air with Terry Gross (Noon - 1pm)
Actor COLIN FIRTH. He's starring in the new movie "Bridget Jones'
Diary." In the novel, Bridget has a crush on Firth because of his TV
performance in "Pride and Prejudice." Firth will discuss both roles,
and he'll read an excerpt from his own short story.
Public Interest with Kojo Nnamdi (1pm - 2pm)
Public Funding of Sports Stadiums
Talk of the Nation with Juan Williams (2pm - 4pm); guest host Tom Gjelten
Hour One: MISSILE DEFENSE: The Bush administration is pushing a new
version of the Reagan era star-wars missile defense.
Hour Two: CHANGING AMERICAN ATTITUDES TOWARD POVERTY: It's been five
years since the passage of welfare reform. Has it affected the way
Americans feel about the poor?
All Things Considered (4pm - 7pm)
Industrial plants, like those for sewage treatment or trash
incineration, are often located near minority neighborhoods. South
Camden, New Jersey, outside Philadelphia took the issue to court to
block a cement factory from going in. The community said pollution
from yet another plant would disproportionately hurt minorities. And
it won. But the U.S. Supreme Court has knocked down the lower judge's
ruling.
