The Diane Rehm Show (10am - Noon
Hour One: Popular Opinion on the Death Penalty

to death for his crimes. A panel talks about shifting views on the death
penalty in the U.S.
Andrew Kohut, Pew Center for the People and the Press Richard Dieter,

Hour 2 - Andrew Carroll: War Letters (Scribner)
Andrew Carroll, founder of The Legacy Project, has spent the last
several years promoting the
preservation of letters of all kinds - from historically significant
correspondence, to the shoebox of old letters you keep under your bed.
He put out a call asking for copies of letters written in wartime, and
the result is his latest book. Carroll talks about his project and
presents some of the most outstanding examples
from the 200 letters collected in the book.

Brad Whitford and Henry Sheehan

Public Interest with Kojo Nnamdi (1pm - 2pm)
Andy Jacobs Jr. (Original Broadcast 3/12/01)
Often called "the most unorthodox person to ever hold the title of
Congressman. For 20 years, he railed against everything from political
pork to congressional pay raises to the national anthem. Now retired
from Congress, Andy Jacobs joins Kojo and proves he's even more
outspoken now than he was while in the House.

Hour One: A discussion about the juvenile justice
system. How young is too young to be tried as an adult?

Hour Two: How do the working poor in America make ends meet working
unskilled jobs for little money? A conversation with writer Barbar
Ehrenreich about her new book Nickle and Dimed.

All Things Considered (4pm - 7pm)
All Things Considered is in Seattle this week. The story of two Seattle
women in the business of cleaning up after the dead. And the Shed Boys
of Port Townsend, Washington. They live in the woods, without running
water or electricity, and carry a reputation for being great lovers.
