        Hour 1: REVIEW OF U.S. DEFENSE POLICY: President Bush says
the U.S. military is suffering from morale problems and has vowed to
improve the quality of life for those in the military. He's devoting
this week to issues of national security and has promised a thorough
review of the armed services.
        Hour 2: THE COMMERCIAL FISHING INDUSTRY: Commercial fishing
is a difficult and dangerous occupation. According to a United
Nations report, more than 70 people around the world die each day
while fishing at sea. Despite the danger, men-- and more
increasingly, women-- still take to the seas, exhilarated by the
chase and the victory of a catch. What makes commercial fishing so
hazardous and thrilling?

All Things Considered (4 - 7 pm)
        When an Ohio sheriff named James Traficant (TRA-fih-kent) was
accused of taking bribes from the Mafia twenty years ago, he defended
himself in court. A jury acquitted him of the crime, and his
popularity catapulted him to Congress. Now, Representative James
Traficant is under investigation again. And he says he is ready to
defend himself again.
