In the aftermath of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, "Mind Over Money" explores why mainstream economists failed to predict the crash of 2008 and why we so often make irrational financial decisions. It reveals surprising, hidden money drives in us all and explores controversial new arguments about the world of finance. Before the current crash, most Wall Street analysts believed that markets are "efficient" -- that investors are reasonable and always operate in their own self-interest. Most of the time, these assumptions of classical economics work well enough. But in extreme situations, people panic and conventional theories collapse. In the face of the recent crash, can a new science that aims to incorporate human psychology into finance--behavioral economics--do better? We'll see how the brains and bodies of Wall Street traders respond as they buy and sell stocks. We'll watch as an ingenious experiment reveals how too many spending choices and the way they're framed can overwhelm consumers' ability to make rational decisions. Through these real-life experiments, NOVA showed how mood, decision-making, and economic activity are all tightly interwoven. By delivering unexpected insights from leading analysts and powerful experiments, "Mind Over Money" exposes the mysterious and surprising nature of the two most powerful forces on our planet: the human mind and money.

The next big fight: will the government be able to impose strict new controls on the big banks? We talk about that, nuclear politics, Supreme Court politics, and tea party politics, tonight on Washington Week. Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) said, "Wall Street took advantage of America. It’s now our turn to look at Wall Street, have them contribute to a better America." Sounds simple enough, but a bank regulation bill that seemed like a slam dunk only a short time ago has run into a partisan buzzsaw on Capitol Hill. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said, "I think we’re very, very close." Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said, "This bill wouldn’t solve the problems that led to the financial crisis. It would make them worse." Might the same thing happen to President Obama’s eventual Supreme Court nominee or to the plan embraced by global leaders this week to reduce nuclear weapons -- buzzsaws everywhere, much of it building under the tea party flag. Ms. Sarah Palin said, "I’m not calling anyone un-American, but the unintended consequences of these actions, the results are un-American."

Hundreds of thousands of gallons of crude oil, threatening a huge natural disaster in the Gulf. President Barack Obama said, "Local economies and livelihoods of the people of the Gulf Coast, as well as the ecology of the region is at stake." Wind power, nuclear, clean coal, off shore oil drilling--do the risks outweigh the benefits? And thanks to a tough new Arizona law, will energy reform also be knocked off-course by a renewed debate over immigration? Gov. Jan Brewer (R-AZ) said, "Decades of federal inaction and misguided policy have created a dangerous and unacceptable situation." In Florida, one rising Republican star gets knocked off course and out of his party by another. Gov. Charlie Crist (Independent-FL) said, "My decision to run for the as a candidate without party affiliation in many ways says more about our nation and our state than it does about me." Marco Rubio, Republican candidate for U.S. Senate - Florida said, "I know this campaign is not about me, it’s about what I’m running for and what I’m running on." And a proposed Wall Street crackdown gets knocked back on course after a dramatic Capitol Hill showdown.

In the aftermath of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, "Mind Over Money" explores why mainstream economists failed to predict the crash of 2008 and why we so often make irrational financial decisions. It reveals surprising, hidden money drives in us all and explores controversial new arguments about the world of finance. Before the current crash, most Wall Street analysts believed that markets are "efficient" -- that investors are reasonable and always operate in their own self-interest. Most of the time, these assumptions of classical economics work well enough. But in extreme situations, people panic and conventional theories collapse. In the face of the recent crash, can a new science that aims to incorporate human psychology into finance--behavioral economics--do better? We'll see how the brains and bodies of Wall Street traders respond as they buy and sell stocks. We'll watch as an ingenious experiment reveals how too many spending choices and the way they're framed can overwhelm consumers' ability to make rational decisions. Through these real-life experiments, NOVA showed how mood, decision-making, and economic activity are all tightly interwoven. By delivering unexpected insights from leading analysts and powerful experiments, "Mind Over Money" exposes the mysterious and surprising nature of the two most powerful forces on our planet: the human mind and money.

Maximum Capacity. Saving tax dollars--can an innovative program make big cuts in America's prison population? The number of inmates in American prisons is outpacing the system's ability to hold them all. In one startling example, California prisons hold well over 50,000 more inmates than they're designed for, even though the state has built a dozen new prisons in the last 15 years. One of the biggest reasons is rampant recidivism. This week, NOW goes inside an Illinois prison that may have the answer to California's problems. With its innovative plan to keep released inmates from coming back, the Sheridan Correctional Center is trying to redefine "tough on crime" by being the largest fully dedicated drug prison in the country. The approach involves aggressive counseling, job training, and following the convicts after they get out. Can their novel approach keep convicts out of jail for good?

Drilling for energy and for support on health care, shaking hands with the troops on a surprise trip overseas, and uncovering a possible threat to domestic security, tonight on Washington Week. The president rallies for support of the health care law as new poll numbers show low marks for him and Congress. The president says, give it a chance. President Barack Obama said, "The polls haven’t changed yet. Well, yes, it just happened last week." Looking to expand the energy sources, the administration takes the first steps in allowing more oil and gas drilling offshore. Sec. Ken Salazar said, "This is a good balance between conservation and development that gives us the energy security that we need." But how much energy would it actually produce at how much risk to the environment? Half a world away, a reminder of the struggles in Afghanistan and Iraq, as the president visits American troops. President Obama said, "We did not choose this war. This was not an act of America wanting to expand its influence." But did he make any headway with the government in Afghanistan plagued by corruption? And the FBI rounds up nine members of a militia style group in Michigan charged with plotting violence against police. FBI Agent: They could kill a lot of people just by themselves. What does it tell us about the threat of domestic terrorism?

The next big fight: will the government be able to impose strict new controls on the big banks? We talk about that, nuclear politics, Supreme Court politics, and tea party politics, tonight on Washington Week. Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) said, "Wall Street took advantage of America. It’s now our turn to look at Wall Street, have them contribute to a better America." Sounds simple enough, but a bank regulation bill that seemed like a slam dunk only a short time ago has run into a partisan buzzsaw on Capitol Hill. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said, "I think we’re very, very close." Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said, "This bill wouldn’t solve the problems that led to the financial crisis. It would make them worse." Might the same thing happen to President Obama’s eventual Supreme Court nominee or to the plan embraced by global leaders this week to reduce nuclear weapons -- buzzsaws everywhere, much of it building under the tea party flag. Ms. Sarah Palin said, "I’m not calling anyone un-American, but the unintended consequences of these actions, the results are un-American."

Two and a half millennia ago, a new religion was born in northern India, generated from the ideas of a single man, the Buddha, a mysterious Indian sage who famously gained enlightenment while he sat under a large, shapely fig tree. The Buddha never claimed to be God or his emissary on earth. He said only that he was a human being who, in a world of unavoidable pain and suffering, had found a kind of serenity that others could find too. This documentary by award-winning filmmaker David Grubin tells the story of his life, a journey especially relevant in our own bewildering times of violent change and spiritual confusion.

Fixing Wall Street, why it’s not like fixing health care, plus auto bailouts and climate controversy, tonight on Washington Week. Down to or yet another big reform bill. President Barack Obama said, "What’s not legitimate is to suggest that somehow the legislation being proposed is going to encourage future taxpayer bailouts, as some have claimed. That makes for a good sound bite, but it’s not factually accurate. It is not true." Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said, "The administration has said it wants to end bailouts. I say to them, prove it." But this time, both sides say there is hope for bipartisanship. As election year fire is focused instead at financial institutions once deemed too big to fail.

Drilling for energy and for support on health care, shaking hands with the troops on a surprise trip overseas, and uncovering a possible threat to domestic security, tonight on Washington Week. The president rallies for support of the health care law as new poll numbers show low marks for him and Congress. The president says, give it a chance. President Barack Obama said, "The polls haven’t changed yet. Well, yes, it just happened last week." Looking to expand the energy sources, the administration takes the first steps in allowing more oil and gas drilling offshore. Sec. Ken Salazar said, "This is a good balance between conservation and development that gives us the energy security that we need." But how much energy would it actually produce at how much risk to the environment? Half a world away, a reminder of the struggles in Afghanistan and Iraq, as the president visits American troops. President Obama said, "We did not choose this war. This was not an act of America wanting to expand its influence." But did he make any headway with the government in Afghanistan plagued by corruption? And the FBI rounds up nine members of a militia style group in Michigan charged with plotting violence against police. FBI Agent: They could kill a lot of people just by themselves.

Public health scientists and clinicians tout vaccines as one of the greatest achievements of modern medicine. But for many ordinary Americans vaccines have become controversial. Young parents are concerned at the sheer number of shots-some 26 inoculations for 14 different diseases by age 6-and follow alternative vaccination schedules advocated by gurus like Dr. Robert Sears. Other parents go further. In communities like Ashland, Oregon, up to one- third of parents are choosing not to vaccinate their kids at all. And some advocacy groups, like Generation Rescue, argue that vaccines are no longer a public health miracle but a scourge; they view vaccines as responsible for alarming rises in certain disorders, including ADHD and autism. This is the vaccine war: On one side sits scientific medicine and the public health establishment; on the other a populist coalition of parents, celebrities (like Jenny McCarthy), politicians and activists. It's a war that increasingly takes place on the Internet with both sides using the latest social media tools, including Facebook and Twitter, to win the hearts and minds of the public.

We’ll explain the hows and the whys tonight on Washington Week. Janet Napolitano, Secretary of Homeland Security said, "This is a spill of national significance." Hundreds of thousands of gallons of crude oil, threatening a huge natural disaster in the Gulf. President Barack Obama said, "Local economies and livelihoods of the people of the Gulf Coast, as well as the ecology of the region is at stake." Wind power, nuclear, clean coal, off shore oil drilling--do the risks outweigh the benefits? And thanks to a tough new Arizona law, will energy reform also be knocked off-course by a renewed debate over immigration? Gov. Jan Brewer (R-AZ) said, "Decades of federal inaction and misguided policy have created a dangerous and unacceptable situation." In Florida, one rising Republican star gets knocked off course and out of his party by another. Gov. Charlie Crist (Independent-FL) said, "My decision to run for the United States Senate as a candidate without party affiliation in many ways says more about our nation and our state than it does about me." Marco Rubio, Republican candidate for U.S. Senate - Florida said, "I know this campaign is not about me, it’s about what I’m running for and what I’m running on." And a proposed Wall Street crackdown gets knocked back on course after a dramatic Capitol Hill showdown. Covering the week, Margaret Kriz Hobson of National Journal; Naftali Bendavid of the Wall Street Journal; Karen Tumulty of the Washington Post; and Eamon Javers of Politico.

In Food, Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our nation's food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that's been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of our government's regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA. Our nation's food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment. We have bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop, insecticide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes that won't go bad, but we also have new strains of E. coli--the harmful bacteria that causes illness for an estimated 73,000 Americans annually. We are riddled with widespread obesity, particularly among children, and an epidemic level of diabetes among adults.

We talk about that, nuclear politics, Supreme Court politics, and tea party politics, tonight on Washington Week. Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) said, "Wall Street took advantage of America. It’s now our turn to look at Wall Street, have them contribute to a better America." Sounds simple enough, but a bank regulation bill that seemed like a slam dunk only a short time ago has run into a partisan buzzsaw on Capitol Hill. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said, "I think we’re very, very close." Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said, "This bill wouldn’t solve the problems that led to the financial crisis. It would make them worse." Might the same thing happen to President Obama’s eventual Supreme Court nominee or to the plan embraced by global leaders this week to reduce nuclear weapons -- buzzsaws everywhere, much of it building under the tea party flag.

In a two-hour special, NOVA examines how a simple instrument, the telescope, has fundamentally changed our understanding of our place in the universe. What began as a curiosity-two spectacle lenses held a foot apart-ultimately revolutionized human thought across science, philosophy and religion. Telescope takes viewers on a global adventure of discovery, dramatizing the innovations in technology and the achievements in science that have marked the rich history of the telescope. This tale of human ingenuity involves some of the most colorful figures of the scientific world-Galileo, Kepler, Newton, William Herschel, George Hale, and Edwin Hubble-leading up to today's colossal telescopes, housed in space-age cathedrals or orbiting high above the Earth. Now at the center of an international space race, a new generation of ever-larger telescopes is poised to reveal answers to longstanding questions about our universe-and, in turn, to raise new questions.

Public health scientists and clinicians tout vaccines as one of the greatest achievements of modern medicine. But for many ordinary Americans vaccines have become controversial. Young parents are concerned at the sheer number of shots-some 26 inoculations for 14 different diseases by age 6-and follow alternative vaccination schedules advocated by gurus like Dr. Robert Sears. Other parents go further. In communities like Ashland, Oregon, up to one- third of parents are choosing not to vaccinate their kids at all. And some advocacy groups, like Generation Rescue, argue that vaccines are no longer a public health miracle but a scourge; they view vaccines as responsible for alarming rises in certain disorders, including ADHD and autism. This is the vaccine war: On one side sits scientific medicine and the public health establishment; on the other a populist coalition of parents, celebrities (like Jenny McCarthy), politicians and activists. It's a war that increasingly takes place on the Internet with both sides using the latest social media tools, including Facebook and Twitter, to win the hearts and minds of the public.

Maximum Capacity. Saving tax dollars--can an innovative program make big cuts in America's prison population? The number of inmates in American prisons is outpacing the system's ability to hold them all. In one startling example, California prisons hold well over 50,000 more inmates than they're designed for, even though the state has built a dozen new prisons in the last 15 years. One of the biggest reasons is rampant recidivism. This week, NOW goes inside an Illinois prison that may have the answer to California's problems. With its innovative plan to keep released inmates from coming back, the Sheridan Correctional Center is trying to redefine "tough on crime" by being the largest fully dedicated drug prison in the country. The approach involves aggressive counseling, job training, and following the convicts after they get out. Can their novel approach keep convicts out of jail for good?

Fixing Wall Street, why it’s not like fixing health care, plus auto bailouts and climate controversy, tonight on Washington Week. Down to the wire or yet another big reform bill. President Barack Obama said, "What’s not legitimate is to suggest that somehow the legislation being proposed is going to encourage future taxpayer bailouts, as some have claimed. That makes for a good sound bite, but it’s not factually accurate. It is not true." Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said, "The administration has said it wants to end bailouts. I say to them, prove it." But this time, both sides say there is hope for bipartisanship. As election year fire is focused instead at financial institutions once deemed too big to fail. At the same time, General Motors, which also receives government rescue help, begins to bounce back. Mr. Edward Whitacre, "I am very pleased to announce that, as of today, General Motors has repaid in full and with interest. Worth clapping about." But there is always another big debate just around the corner, next stop, energy reform.

Spring 1946: Ten months after the end of World War II, an explosion rocks the Pacific off the coast of Hawaii. America has just destroyed one of Japan's most advanced weapons systems -- the I-401 aircraft carrier submarine. But this was no belated attack against the defeated Japanese. Bound by an agreement to share any discoveries with the Soviets, but feeling the pressure of the looming Cold War, it was a calculated decision to keep the technology out of Soviet hands. The Japanese had built their sub to take the war to U.S. shores. Merging the stealth and tactical advantages of sea and sky, the revolutionary submarine carried three specially designed Seiran attack bombers, which could be launched from the deck of the sub within seven minutes of its reaching the surface. With missions to attack U.S. cities and blow up the Panama Canal, the aircraft carrier submarine had the potential to change the course of the war in the Pacific. But fortunately for America, its secret weapon -- the atom bomb -- was put into action first. "Japanese SuperSub's" investigates Japan's efforts to take submarine technology where it had never gone before, and reveals how close the Japanese came to using the sub for an attack on the U.S.

For two centuries, American whale oil lit the world - powering the start of the industrial revolution and laying the groundwork for a truly global economy. From its stunning rise as an economic force in the 18th century to its precipitous decline in the decades following the Civil War, the whaling industry mapped millions of miles of uncharted ocean, opened new seaways and markets, employed the world's most multi-cultural workforce and shrunk the globe by bringing once remote reaches of the Earth into contact as never before -- all the while capturing the American imagination. As Americans now see fortunes rise and fall on the global energy and consumer markets, the rapid commoditization of whales and the sharp decline of the whaling industry serve as a stark reminder of the volatility of the global marketplace.

For a 70-year period, when America cared little about the education of African-Americans, and discrimination was law and custom, The Bordentown School was an educational utopia. An incubator for black pride and intellect, it taught values, discipline, and life skills to generations of black children. This is the story of that school, as told by Bordentown alumni, historians, and archival footage. It is also the story of black education in America across three centuries, presenting a nuanced, rarely seen portrait of a separate black space; and a much-needed preface to the growing national discussion about historically black institutions and their role in nurturing identity and accomplishment. What was lost and what was gained in the march toward equality?

For two centuries, American whale oil lit the world - powering the start of the industrial revolution and laying the groundwork for a truly global economy. From its stunning rise as an economic force in the 18th century to its precipitous decline in the decades following the Civil War, the whaling industry mapped millions of miles of uncharted ocean, opened new seaways and markets, employed the world's most multi-cultural workforce and shrunk the globe by bringing once remote reaches of the Earth into contact as never before -- all the while capturing the American imagination. As Americans now see fortunes rise and fall on the global energy and consumer markets, the rapid commoditization of whales and the sharp decline of the whaling industry serve as a stark reminder of the volatility of the global marketplace.

This was the week when the best laid plans went awry--on energy and immigration policy, on the Wall Street crackdown and Florida politics. We’ll explain the hows and the whys tonight on Washington Week. Janet Napolitano, Secretary of Homeland Security said, "This is a spill of national significance." Hundreds of thousands of gallons of crude oil, threatening a huge natural disaster in the Gulf. President Barack Obama said, "Local economies and livelihoods of the people of the Gulf Coast, as well as the ecology of the region is at stake." Wind power, nuclear, clean coal, off shore oil drilling--do the risks outweigh the benefits? And thanks to a tough new Arizona law, will energy reform also be knocked off-course by a renewed debate over immigration? Gov. Jan Brewer (R-AZ) said, "Decades of federal inaction and misguided policy have created a dangerous and unacceptable situation." In Florida, one rising Republican star gets knocked off course and out of his party by another. Gov. Charlie Crist (Independent-FL) said, "My decision to run for the United States Senate as a candidate without party affiliation in many ways says more about our nation and our state than it does about me." Marco Rubio, Republican candidate for U.S. Senate - Florida said, "I know this campaign is not about me, it’s about what I’m running for and what I’m running on." And a proposed Wall Street crackdown gets knocked back on course after a dramatic Capitol Hill showdown. Covering the week, Margaret Kriz Hobson of National Journal; Naftali Bendavid of the Wall Street Journal; Karen Tumulty of the Washington Post; and Eamon Javers of Politico.

Kilauea, on Hawaii's Big Island, is the world's most active volcano. Its latest eruption began in 1983 and it hasn't stopped since. Since that time, it has created 544 acres of new land and consumed 200 homes. But as we watch nature's own fireworks display and witness the devastation wrought by flowing lava, we've also been able to observe a process that's central to life on these islands. The most spectacular moment of creation is when lava pours into the ocean creating new land; it is here that filmmaker Paul Atkins finds himself getting a shot few have ever filmed -- the cataclysmic meeting of 2,000-degree lava and 75-degree ocean water -- a sight to behold.

When Mount St. Helens erupted in 1980, every living thing in the blast zone was buried beneath 300 feet of avalanche debris, covered with steaming mud, and finally, topped with a superheated layer of frothy rock from deep within the earth. It seemed as though Mount St. Helens might remain a wasteland forever. When biologist Charlie Crisafulli first flew over the disaster zone, finding no sign of life, little did he realize that his own life would be forever changed. Crisafulli has remained at the site for 27 years, documenting the dramatic return of plant and animal life to the barren landscape and pioneering a new understanding of the interaction between geologic forces and the life surrounding the mountain. NOVA brings viewers on an inspiring journey of a landscape brought back from the dead.

The selling of Elena Kagan, the oil spill blame game, kissing and making up with Hamid Karzai, and the perilous politics of incumbency, tonight on Washington Week. President Barack Obama said, "Our solicitor general and my friend Elena Kagan." Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) said, "It is a confirmation. It’s not a coronation." True, but President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee is for now on a glide path. Elena Kagan said, "Thank you so much." But who is Elena Kagan and what would she bring to the nation’s highest court? On Capitol Hill, another scandal, another oath, as lawmakers wrestle with the consequences of the disastrous oil spill. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) said, "It doesn’t benefit anyone of them for BP to be pointing the finger at Transocean, to be pointing the finger at Halliburton, to be pointing the finger back at BP." President Obama said, "The American people could not have been impressed with that display and I certainly wasn’t." So who is at fault? At the White House Afghan President Karzai gets the royal treatment but what's happening on the battlefield? Gen. Stanley McChrystal said, "I think I'd be prepared to say nobody is winning at this point." And incumbents brace for what could be a rocky political season. For Democrats--President Obama said, "We’ve gone through a stormy time and I know sometimes has made you guys a little seasick." And Republicans: Sen. Robert Bennett (R-UT) said, "The political atmosphere obviously has been toxic."

This was the week when the best laid plans went awry--on energy and immigration policy, on the Wall Street crackdown and Florida politics. We’ll explain the hows and the whys tonight on Washington Week. Janet Napolitano, Secretary of Homeland Security said, "This is a spill of national significance." Hundreds of thousands of gallons of crude oil, threatening a huge natural disaster in the Gulf. President Barack Obama said, "Local economies and livelihoods of the people of the Gulf Coast, as well as the ecology of the region is at stake." Wind power, nuclear, clean coal, off shore oil drilling--do the risks outweigh the benefits? And thanks to a tough new Arizona law, will energy reform also be knocked off-course by a renewed debate over immigration? Gov. Jan Brewer (R-AZ) said, "Decades of federal inaction and misguided policy have created a dangerous and unacceptable situation." In Florida, one rising Republican star gets knocked off course and out of his party by another. Gov. Charlie Crist (Independent-FL) said, "My decision to run for the United States Senate as a candidate without party affiliation in many ways says more about our nation and our state than it does about me." Marco Rubio, Republican candidate for U.S. Senate - Florida said, "I know this campaign is not about me, it’s about what I’m running for and what I’m running on." And a proposed Wall Street crackdown gets knocked back on course after a dramatic Capitol Hill showdown.

The biracial black and Native American activist fought in the late 1800s for the rights of the poor and disenfranchised in the face of an increasingly oppressive industrial economic system. Did this once-feared radical own the manifesto? If so, it would pose a mystery: after Parsons died, police supposedly raided her house and confiscated all of her subversive literature. So how did this book elude them? History Detectives explores a major labor movement uprising and Parsons’ abiding acts of defiance.

Public health scientists and clinicians tout vaccines as one of the greatest achievements of modern medicine. But for many ordinary Americans vaccines have become controversial. Young parents are concerned at the sheer number of shots--some 26 inoculations for 14 different diseases by age 6--and follow alternative vaccination schedules advocated by gurus like Dr. Robert Sears. Other parents go further. In communities like Ashland, Oregon, up to one- third of parents are choosing not to vaccinate their kids at all. And some advocacy groups, like Generation Rescue, argue that vaccines are no longer a public health miracle but a scourge; they view vaccines as responsible for alarming rises in certain disorders, including ADHD and autism. This is the vaccine war: On one side sits scientific medicine and the public health establishment; on the other a populist coalition of parents, celebrities (like Jenny McCarthy), politicians and activists. It's a war that increasingly takes place on the Internet with both sides using the latest social media tools, including Facebook and Twitter, to win the hearts and minds of the public.

One year after the deadliest domestic airline accident in seven years, FRONTLINE investigates the crash of Continental 3407 in Buffalo, NY, and discovers a dramatically changed airline industry, where regional carriers now account for half of the nation's daily departures. The rise of the regionals and arrival of low-cost carriers have been a huge boon to consumers, and the industry insists that the skies remain safe. But many insiders are worried that now, thirty years after airline deregulation, the aviation system is being stretched beyond its capacity to deliver service that is both cheap and safe.

Spring 1946: Ten months after the end of World War II, an explosion rocks the Pacific off the coast of Hawaii. America has just destroyed one of Japan's most advanced weapons systems -- the I-401 aircraft carrier submarine. But this was no belated attack against the defeated Japanese. Bound by an agreement to share any discoveries with the Soviets, but feeling the pressure of the looming Cold War, it was a calculated decision to keep the technology out of Soviet hands. The Japanese had built their sub to take the war to U.S. shores. Merging the stealth and tactical advantages of sea and sky, the revolutionary submarine carried three specially designed Seiran attack bombers, which could be launched from the deck of the sub within seven minutes of its reaching the surface. With missions to attack U.S. cities and blow up the Panama Canal, the aircraft carrier submarine had the potential to change the course of the war in the Pacific. But fortunately for America, its secret weapon -- the atom bomb -- was put into action first. "Japanese SuperSub's" investigates Japan's efforts to take submarine technology where it had never gone before, and reveals how close the Japanese came to using the sub for an attack on the U.S.

Three tangled tales: the latest New York terror plot, the growing oil spill disaster in the Gulf, and the political impasse in Great Britain, tonight on Washington Week. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said, "This was an act that was designed to kill innocent civilians and strike fear into the hearts of Americans. And I’m happy to say that it failed on both counts." Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) said, "Yes, we’ve been lucky, but luck is not an effective strategy for fighting the terrorist threat." Alert New Yorkers and law enforcement officers foiled yet another attempted terror plot. But was it chance or competence that stopped Faisal Shahzad from carrying out his deadly plans. In the Gulf of Mexico, oil continues to gush into the sea, while the hunt continues for a cause and a solution. Doug Suttles said, "We stress that this has never been done before. We’ll likely encounter numerous challenges and but we’ll remain committed to make it work." Sec. Janet Napolitano said, "The possibility remains that the BP oil spill could turn into an unprecedented environmental disaster." President Barack Obama said, "I want to emphasize from day one we have prepared and planned for the worst, even as we hoped for the best." While in Great Britain, an unpredictable election yields an unexpected outcome. Prime Minister Gordon Brown said, "People do not like the uncertainty or want it to be prolonged. We live, however, in a parliamentary democracy." Covering the week: Pierre Thomas of ABC News, Peter Baker of the New York Times, Elizabeth Shogren of National Public Radio, and in London, Dan Balz of the Washington Post.

Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941 was the largest troop offensive in military history. And the Battle of Stalingrad is arguably the deadliest single battle the world has ever seen. The eventual Russian victory has long been lauded as a shining example of Stalin's military genius. He is said to have baited the much more powerful and technologically advanced German army with a carefully executed withdrawal, then caught the Nazis unprepared in vicious city-block-by-city-block fighting that decimated the German forces. By the time the battle was over, more than one million lives had been lost and the course of the war permanently altered. But 70 years after the battle was fought, newly uncovered documents, survivor accounts and stunning archival footage are revealing a different picture. "Deadliest Battle" uncovers evidence that describes a forced retreat by the Russians, not a tactical one, in addition to much fiercer fighting in the countryside than previously thought. The battle not only changed the course of World War II, but established the Soviet Union as a superpower to be reckoned with in the long Cold War that lay ahead. More than a half-century later, the full impact of this horrific battle is revealed.

Public health scientists and clinicians tout vaccines as one of the greatest achievements of modern medicine. But for many ordinary Americans vaccines have become controversial. Young parents are concerned at the sheer number of shots--some 26 inoculations for 14 different diseases by age 6--and follow alternative vaccination schedules advocated by gurus like Dr. Robert Sears. Other parents go further. In communities like Ashland, Oregon, up to one- third of parents are choosing not to vaccinate their kids at all. And some advocacy groups, like Generation Rescue, argue that vaccines are no longer a public health miracle but a scourge; they view vaccines as responsible for alarming rises in certain disorders, including ADHD and autism. This is the vaccine war: On one side sits scientific medicine and the public health establishment; on the other a populist coalition of parents, celebrities (like Jenny McCarthy), politicians and activists. It's a war that increasingly takes place on the Internet with both sides using the latest social media tools, including Facebook and Twitter, to win the hearts and minds of the public.

Commando raids, an uncontrollable oil spill, an economy that can’t rebound fast enough, and political missteps here, there, and everywhere, tonight on Washington Week. Is anything going right? Oil continues to gush from the ocean floor. President Barack Obama said, "Right now, stopping this oil spill and containing its damage is necessarily the top priority not just of my administration, but I think of the entire country." Gov. Bobby Jindal (R-LA) said, "Every day they wait, every day they make us wait. We’re losing our battle to protect our coast." Tony Hayward, CEO, BP OIL said, "I’d like my life back. So there’s no one who wants this thing done more than I do." A high sea standoff forces the U.S. to mediate newly inflamed tensions between Israel and the Palestinians. Israeli Prime Min. Benjamin Netanyahu said, "Israel should not be held to a double standard. The Jewish state has a right to defend itself, just like any other state." Dr. Ghassan Al-Khateeb, Palestinian Government Spokesperson said, "We think that Israel should be held accountable for this crime and should be punished." Secretary of State said, "The situation in Gaza is unsustainable and unacceptable." The economy adds new jobs, but not enough of them. President Obama said, "While we recognize that our recovery is still in its early stages and that there’re going to be ups and downs in the months ahead, things never go completely in a smooth line." And the White House political shop stumbles, again. What’s a president to do?

Hundreds of millions of dollars being spent on the Gulf Coast disaster and on elections coast to coast, the winners, the losers, and the stalemates, tonight on Washington Week. Two California Republicans triumph. Meg Whitman, CA GOP Gubernatorial Candidate said, "Two businesswomen who know how to create jobs, balance budgets and get things done." While some incumbents fall and some survive. Nevada Gov. Jim Gibbons said, "I stand here humbled and grateful for the four years that the people of Nevada gave me." Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-AK) said, "The vote of this senator is not for sale and neither is the vote of the people of Arkansas." But outsiders rule. Sharron Angle, GOP Senate Candidate in Nevada said, "We have completed the first step to taking back our U.S. Senate seat." Expensive elections, breakthroughs, and comebacks. What this week’s primaries mean for Washington. And the Gulf oil spill turns into a deadly serious numbers game. Rep.

Do we have the right to end our lives if life itself becomes unbearable, or when we enter the late-stages of painful, terminal illness? The questions, debated for centuries, have only grown more pressing in recent years as medical technology has allowed us to live longer lives, and several U.S. states have legalized physician-assisted suicide. With unique access to Dignitas, the Swiss non-profit that has helped over one thousand people die since 1998, Academy award-winning filmmaker John Zaritsky offers a revealing look a couple facing the most difficult decision of their lives--and lets us see for ourselves as one Chicago native makes the trip to Switzerland for what will become the last day of his life.

Hundreds of millions of dollars being spent on the Gulf Coast disaster and on elections coast to coast, the winners, the losers, and the stalemates, tonight on Washington Week. Two California Republicans triumph. Meg Whitman, CA GOP Gubernatorial Candidate said, "Two businesswomen who know how to create jobs, balance budgets and get things done." While some incumbents fall and some survive. Nevada Gov. Jim Gibbons said, "I stand here humbled and grateful for the four years that the people of Nevada gave me." Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-AK) said, "The vote of this senator is not for sale and neither is the vote of the people of Arkansas." But outsiders rule. Sharron Angle, GOP Senate Candidate in Nevada said, "We have completed the first step to taking back our U.S. Senate seat." Expensive elections, breakthroughs, and comebacks. What this week’s primaries mean for Washington. And the Gulf oil spill turns into a deadly serious numbers game. Rep. Edward Markey (D-MS) said, "It’s quite clear that BP has known that this is much more catastrophic right from the beginning." Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said, "It is very frustrating that over 50 days into this they still don’t have a reliable estimate of how many oil they’ve released, how much oil is still out there." Coast Guard ADM. Thad Allen said, "I’m not going to declare victory on anything till I have absolute numbers." What changed and what stayed the same with the reporters covering the stories: John Dickerson of Slate Magazine and CBS News, Alexis Simendinger of National Journal, and Karen Tumulty of the Washington Post.

Cuttlefish are some of the strangest animals on the planet. These shape- shifting creatures can hypnotize their prey, impersonate the opposite sex and even kill with lightning fast speed.

With beautiful underwater footage and in-depth expert interviews, NOVA gets up close and personal with these bizarre and amazing animals.

Commando raids, an uncontrollable oil spill, an economy that can’t rebound fast enough, and political missteps here, there, and everywhere, tonight on Washington Week. Is anything going right? Oil continues to gush from the ocean floor. President Barack Obama said, "Right now, stopping this oil spill and containing its damage is necessarily the top priority not just of my administration, but I think of the entire country." Gov. Bobby Jindal (R-LA) said, "Every day they wait, every day they make us wait. We’re losing our battle to protect our coast." Tony Hayward, CEO, BP OIL said, "I’d like my life back. So there’s no one who wants this thing done more than I do." A high sea standoff forces the U.S. to mediate newly inflamed tensions between Israel and the Palestinians. Israeli Prime Min. Benjamin Netanyahu said, "Israel should not be held to a double standard. The Jewish state has a right to defend itself, just like any other state." Dr. Ghassan Al-Khateeb, Palestinian Government Spokesperson said, "We think that Israel should be held accountable for this crime and should be punished." Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said, "The situation in Gaza is unsustainable and unacceptable." The economy adds new jobs, but not enough of them. President Obama said, "While we recognize that our recovery is still in its early stages and that there’re going to be ups and downs in the months ahead, things never go completely in a smooth line." And the White House political shop stumbles, again. What’s a president to do? We assess the challenges and the distractions with the reporters covering the week: Peter Baker of the New York Times, Michael Duffy of Time Magazine and Doyle McManus of the Los Angeles Times.

FRONTLINE/WORLD investigates one of its own stories, "The Play Pump," which promised to use a merry-go-round and the power of children to help meet the dire need for fresh water in southern Africa. After FRONTLINE/WORLD first aired the story in 2005, major donors in the United States -- and the U.S. government itself -- launched a multimillion-dollar campaign to install the device in thousands of African schools and villages. Now, correspondent Amy Costello investigates what happened to those communities, as the promise of the PlayPump fell short and the device’s biggest American boosters began to back away from a technology they had once championed. Also in this episode: Adam Davidson of NPR’s "Planet Money" team looks at a new idea in post- disaster relief being tried out in Haiti and a profile of a painter who travels to the remote jungles of West Papua in search of the "clever bird."

The continuing oil disaster. Apologies everywhere, but not a solution to be found. Plus, the latest on debates on Afghanistan and from the Supreme Court, tonight on Washington Week. Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI) said, "Truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth the matter pending before this committee?" Tony Hayward, CEO of BP (British Petroleum) answered, "I do." The oil disaster debate moves to Washington with dramatic hearings." Mr. Hayward said, "If this investigation determines that anytime anyone put cost before safety, then we will take action." Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-GA) said, "Well, with all due respect, Mr. Hayward, I think you’re copping out." Mr. Tony Hayward responded, "With respect, sir, we drill hundreds of wells a year all around the world." Sen. Michael Burgess (R - TX) said, "Yes, I know. That’s what’s scaring me right now." Partial payback. President Barack Obama said, "I’m pleased to announce that BP has agreed to set aside $20 billion to pay claims for damages resulting from this spill." And wild pitches. Carl-Henric Svanberg, Chairman of BP said, "We care about the small people." Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) said, "It is a tragedy of the first proportion that a private corporation can be subjected to what I would characterize as a shakedown, in this case a $20-billion shakedown. I want to apologize for that misconstrued -- misconstruction." Yet the oil continues to flow. John Young, Chairman Jefferson Parish Council, Louisiana said, "We’re in a war, and at this point in time unfortunately we’re losing the battle." While a separate debate rages about a real war. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said, "This is June, 2010. Are we winning?" Gen. David Petraeus said, "Winning to a counterinsurgent center means making progress. And in that regard I think that we are winning." And the Supreme Court weighs in on text messaging.
