Bob Dylan participates for the first time in an exclusive, full-length film biography. From his explosive arrival on the downtown New York City scene in 1961 - with a raspy voice, pounding guitar and stunning lyrics - through his near-fatal motorcycle accident in Woodstock in 1966, no one had more of an impact and no one changed the landscape of contemporary music more profoundly. Private, almost reclusive, disdainful of customary forms of publicity, Dylan has now agreed to make an appearance in his own story, illuminated in particular by this remarkable five-year period. Directed by Martin Scorsese, this intimate and incomparable film includes an archive of never-before-seen footage from childhood, from the road and from backstage, as well as unreleased interviews conducted over the past 15 years with other seminal figures from those times - some of whom, like Allan Ginsberg, are long dead. And, Dylan brings the rights to his legendary music with him - "Blowin' in the Wind," "Like a Rolling Stone," "Don't Think Twice," "Mr. Tambourine Man," "It Ain't Me Babe," "Just Like a Woman," "Positively 4th Street," "The Times They Are A-Changin'" - and on and on.

Essentially every American who has listened to the radio, or gone to summer camp, knows Woody's This Land is Your Land. The nation's signature folk singer/song-writer, Woody's music has been recorded by everyone from the Mormon Tabernacle Choir to the Irish rock band U2. Originally blowing out of the Dust Bowl in 1930s Depression Era America, he blended vernacular, rural music and populism to give voice to millions of downtrodden citizens. Woody's prolific music, poetry and prose were politically leftist, uniquely patriotic, and always inspirational. He joined music with traditional oral history and was central to generations of folk music revival. His is a complex story filled with frenetic creative energy and a treasure trove of cultural history - as well as personal imperfections and profound family tragedy.

James Dean has long survived his brief 24 years. September and October 2005 mark the 50th anniversary of both Dean's fatal automobile accident and the release of the film with which he is forever identified, "Rebel Without a Cause." A cinema figure of such iconic and mythic dimensions, it is said of Dean that he didn't just change the way people acted, he changed the way people lived. He was an original; he was a natural. Synonymous with adolescent angst, he also redefined the American male ideal, making vulnerable sexy and alienation desirable. There are only three films to his legacy - East of Eden, Rebel Without a Cause and Giant - crafted with three seminal directors, Elia Kazan and Nicholas Ray and George Stevens. Reality and art are closely linked in Dean and are seamlessly woven in this documentary - his film personae are all misfits, consummate outsiders, characters in search of identity and meaning, who echo the themes of loss and abandonment in his own life experience.

At the heart of "The Sinking of the Andrea Doria" are four essential questions: Did the Stockholm ram the Doria with a sudden and dangerous maneuver, as the Italians claimed? Or did the Doria cut across the Stockholm's path? Did the young officer on the Stockholm misread his radar, causing him to misjudge the distance between the ships? And what impact did speed and fog have on the collision? Now, in a new examination of the 50- year-old maritime disaster, SECRETS OF THE DEAD combines archival footage, survivor accounts, crew interviews, long-buried reports, and a startling insurance company cover-up to lay bare exactly what happened that fateful night.

Much of the turmoil of Winterson's early life was recounted in her acclaimed first novel, ORANGES ARE NOT THE ONLY FRUIT, which made her a sensation in the British literary world and earned her the 1985 Whitbred Prize for best first novel. Since then, she has written nearly a dozen more, including THE PASSION (1987), SEXING THE CHERRY (1989), WRITTEN ON THE BODY (1992), THE POWERBOOK (2000), and LIGHTHOUSEKEEPING (2004), as well as several screenplays, plays, and works of nonfiction. Always controversial, Winterson's works explore themes of desire, fantasy, sexuality, feminism, gender identification, love, and power in lyrical and imaginative prose, frequently mixing myth and history in settings ranging from 17th-century England to cyberspace. With his critically acclaimed one-man show FLOW and his more recent off-Broadway production, THE SEVEN (an adaptation of Aeschylus's SEVEN AGAINST THEBES), Power has forged a new style of theatrical communication - combining original tunes, rhymed language, DJ music, innovative set design, and dynamic choreography - that speaks to the growing influence of hip-hop as an artistic and cultural force.

"The Day Pictures Were Born" explores when and why humans underwent what archeologists call the "creative explosion" and began making pictures. The examination of prehistoric European cave paintings and the rock art discovered in South Africa and North America indicates that this "explosion" may have been an effort to depict sights from the inner - rather than outer - worlds of our ancient ancestors.

There are the movie roles, but it is the still images - the iconic face, the expressions and poses - that make up our collective memory of Marilyn. She was, arguably, the most photographed person ever. We tell her story through such artists as Richard Avedon and Henri Cartier-Bresson, Inge Morath and Andy Warhol - her relationship with their cameras produced an enduring body of work that still dazzles and moves us, evoking both desire and pathos. These photographs are an ageless testament to her grace, guts and sexiness - her humor and vulnerability. She understood their power, and she exploited it. She created, and curated, her own image - lips puckered to the lens, she invited us to kiss her back. She would be 80 in June 2006. She died more than 40 years ago. But, Marilyn persists in her image.

In San Salvador, El Salvador, two thousand miles from Los Angeles’s Eighteenth Street, a gang known as "18" governs its territory like an armed militia.

Much of the turmoil of Winterson's early life was recounted in her acclaimed first novel, ORANGES ARE NOT THE ONLY FRUIT, which made her a sensation in the British literary world and earned her the 1985 Whitbred Prize for best first novel. Since then, she has written nearly a dozen more, including THE PASSION (1987), SEXING THE CHERRY (1989), WRITTEN ON THE BODY (1992), THE POWERBOOK (2000), and LIGHTHOUSEKEEPING (2004), as well as several screenplays, plays, and works of nonfiction. Always controversial, Winterson's works explore themes of desire, fantasy, sexuality, feminism, gender identification, love, and power in lyrical and imaginative prose, frequently mixing myth and history in settings ranging from 17th-century England to cyberspace. With his critically acclaimed one-man show FLOW and his more recent off-Broadway production, THE SEVEN (an adaptation of Aeschylus's SEVEN AGAINST THEBES), Power has forged a new style of theatrical communication - combining original tunes, rhymed language, DJ music, innovative set design, and dynamic choreography - that speaks to the growing influence of hip-hop as an artistic and cultural force.

"Einstein's Dream"--The first hour introduces string theory and shows how modern physics - composed of two theories that are ferociously incompatible - reached an impasse: one theory, known as general relativity, is successful in describing big things like stars and galaxies; another, called quantum mechanics, is equally successful in describing small things like atoms and subatomic particles. Albert Einstein, the inventor of general relativity, dreamed of finding a single theory that would embrace all of nature's laws. But in his quest for the so-called unified theory, Einstein came up empty- handed, and the conflict between general relativity and quantum mechanics has stymied all who've followed. That is, until the discovery of string theory. "String's the Thing" In the second hour, Greene describes the serendipitous steps that led from a forgotten 200-year-old mathematical formula to the first glimmerings of strings - quivering strands of energy whose different vibrations give rise to quarks, electrons, photons and all other elementary particles. Strings are truly tiny - smaller than an atom by the same factor that a tree is smaller than the entire universe. But, as Greene explains, it is possible - for the first time ever - to combine the laws of the large and the laws of the small into a proposal for a single, harmonious "Theory of Everything."

Lou Gehrig Autograph - An Oregon man has a baseball ticket that bears a "Lou Gehrig" autograph and a scribbled date: July 4, 1939. The contributor's mother was an avid Yankees fan who regularly paid homage to the team at their home stadium in the Bronx. The date is one of the most famous in baseball, when Gehrig announced his retirement, stating to a Yankee Stadium crowd of 62,000 that he was "the luckiest man on the face of the earth." For months, unbeknownst to Gehrig and his fans, he had been suffering the progressive effects of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a degenerative disease. HISTORY DETECTIVES heads to Yankee Stadium and Cooperstown's Baseball Hall of Fame to learn whether this ticket was in fact signed by Lou Gehrig and to explore how the athlete once known as the "Iron Horse" was memorialized by fans and by his own family. Cleveland Electric Car - A Cleveland man with a passion for trains has long wondered about an electric street car in his city's transit museum. He is curious to learn what happened to the city's once extensive and highly praised electric trolley car network. Streetcars were once the most popular form of urban transportation in the country - by World War I, most cities of more than 10,000 people had an electric railway system. But by the 1950s, this form of transportation had all but disappeared. HISTORY DETECTIVES hits the road to Washington, DC, and Cleveland, Ohio, to track the evolution of urban mass transit systems, and investigate the fate of downtown areas and the rise of suburban sprawl. Philadelphia Freedom Paper - A Bronx, New York, man with a longtime interest in African-American history recently purchased an intriguing document at a flea market; he believes it is a "freedom paper" for an African-American man named John Jubilee Jackson. The paper was issued in Philadelphia in 1821, and indicates that Jackson was from Virginia, a state where, by 1780, nearly half of all slaves resided. HISTORY DETECTIVES heads to Philadelphia, Mystic, Connecticut, and New York City to investigate the document and the life of John Jubilee Jackson, uncovering the remarkable and contradictory reality of free blacks struggling to get by in a racist society.

The S.S. Republic was a double side-paddle steamship sunk by a hurricane en route from New York to New Orleans after the Civil War. On board were 30 crew and 20 passengers and some special cargo: nearly $400,000 in gold and silver coin. All the crew and passengers made it safely off the vessel, although a number died before they could be rescued. The gold and silver horde went down with the ship. Today, the value of those rare coins may exceed $150 million - making it one of the richest treasure ever discovered at sea. National Geographic follows a band of adventurers from Odyssey Marine Exploration as they search for the treasure that could have helped prevent the New Orleans economy from grinding to halt during the currency-starved Reconstruction period.

Elia Kazan got an Oscar for Lifetime Achievement at the 1999 Academy Awards. The world was stunned by the breadth of the controversy it generated and the depth of the old wounds it salted. Kazan's impressive directorial body of work includes "On the Waterfront," "East of Eden," "A Streetcar Named Desire," "Gentleman's Agreement" and "A Face in the Crowd." But, in 1952, when he "named names" before the House Un-American Activities Committee, he destroyed careers and lives and relationships. One of those destroyed relationships was with playwright Arthur Miller, the author of an equally impressive body of work -- including "All My Sons," "Death of a Salesman," "A View From the Bridge," "The Crucible" and "After the Fall." Best friends -- both involved with the actress Marilyn Monroe -- and collaborators for many years before Kazan's testimony, Miller didn't speak to him again for 10 years. By exploring their personal and artistic relationship, as well as its inevitable rupture, the Miller-Kazan story is an examination of one of the darkest times in America's cultural history.

Hollywood -- it is stamped as a virtual imprint on our imaginations, a celluloid image frozen in time. Judy Garland also had one of the most frequently recorded voices of the last century. She was magic, almost mythical. She is as iconic as she is misunderstood. There were her problems, to be sure, but the proof is in the performances. From "The Wizard of Oz" to the Palladium, from the Oscars to the Grammys. With singular entree to the MGM library, including vaulted screen tests and rehearsal footage, the film is wrapped in Judy's voice, actually telling her story in her own words. So many outsiders have tried to tell this story and so many friends and family have weighed in -- now Judy gets center stage, all to herself. This is her ultimate comeback.

Lou Gehrig Autograph - An Oregon man has a baseball ticket that bears a "Lou Gehrig" autograph and a scribbled date: July 4, 1939. The contributor's mother was an avid Yankees fan who regularly paid homage to the team at their home stadium in the Bronx.

Streetcars were once the most popular form of urban transportation in the country - by World War I, most cities of more than 10,000 people had an electric railway system. But by the 1950s, this form of transportation had all but disappeared. HISTORY DETECTIVES hits the road to Washington, DC, and Cleveland, Ohio, to track the evolution of urban mass transit systems, and investigate the fate of downtown areas and the rise of suburban sprawl. Philadelphia Freedom Paper - A Bronx, New York, man with a longtime interest in African-American history recently purchased an intriguing document at a flea market; he believes it is a "freedom paper" for an African-American man named John Jubilee Jackson. The paper was issued in Philadelphia in 1821, and indicates that Jackson was from Virginia, a state where, by 1780, nearly half of all slaves resided. HISTORY DETECTIVES heads to Philadelphia, Mystic, Connecticut, and New York City to investigate the document and the life of John Jubilee Jackson, uncovering the remarkable and contradictory reality of free blacks struggling to get by in a racist society.

Elia Kazan got an Oscar for Lifetime Achievement at the 1999 Academy Awards. The world was stunned by the breadth of the controversy it generated and the depth of the old wounds it salted. Kazan's impressive directorial body of work includes "On the Waterfront," "East of Eden," "A Streetcar Named Desire," "Gentleman's Agreement" and "A Face in the Crowd." But, in 1952, when he "named names" before the House Un-American Activities Committee, he destroyed careers and lives and relationships. One of those destroyed relationships was with playwright Arthur Miller, the author of an equally impressive body of work -- including "All My Sons," "Death of a Salesman," "A View From the Bridge," "The Crucible" and "After the Fall." Best friends -- both involved with the actress Marilyn Monroe -- and collaborators for many years before Kazan's testimony, Miller didn't speak to him again for 10 years. By exploring their personal and artistic relationship, as well as its inevitable rupture, the Miller-Kazan story is an examination of one of the darkest times in America's cultural history.

An intriguing story about the lives and times of Lise Meitner and Otto Hahn, two remarkable scientists whose extraordinary collaboration culminated in the discovery of nuclear fission in 1938, turning Einstein's "theory" into atomic science. Not only did these two revolutionize the history of science and the role of women in physics and chemistry, their tale also parallels the social changes and turbulent history of their times. It involves the war against memory, Nazi intimidation, forced exile, betrayal, and a Nobel Prize awarded only in chemistry that to this day distorts science history. This documentary explores the development of atomic science in the first part of the twentieth century. It captures Meitner's efforts to make her way in the male-dominated world of physics, Hahn's early work and independent discoveries, their collaboration, the racial and political discrimination that forced Meitner to live in exile, and ongoing speculation about her exclusion from the Nobel Prize. These elements are explored through photos, letters, notes, stock footage, and maps; interviews with writers, scientists, and historians; and music of the day. Sound effects and animated graphics are employed in the presentation of the science.

Lou Gehrig Autograph - An Oregon man has a baseball ticket that bears a "Lou Gehrig" autograph and a scribbled date: July 4, 1939. The contributor's mother was an avid Yankees fan who regularly paid homage to the team at their home stadium in the Bronx. The date is one of the most famous in baseball, when Gehrig announced his retirement, stating to a Yankee Stadium crowd of 62,000 that he was "the luckiest man on the face of the earth." For months, unbeknownst to Gehrig and his fans, he had been suffering the progressive effects of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a degenerative disease. HISTORY DETECTIVES heads to Yankee Stadium and Cooperstown's Baseball Hall of Fame to learn whether this ticket was in fact signed by Lou Gehrig and to explore how the athlete once known as the "Iron Horse" was memorialized by fans and by his own family. Cleveland Electric Car - A Cleveland man with a passion for trains has long wondered about an electric street car in his city's transit museum. He is curious to learn what happened to the city's once extensive and highly praised electric trolley car network. Streetcars were once the most popular form of urban transportation in the country - by World War I, most cities of more than 10,000 people had an electric railway system. But by the 1950s, this form of transportation had all but disappeared. HISTORY DETECTIVES hits the road to Washington, DC, and Cleveland, Ohio, to track the evolution of urban mass transit systems, and investigate the fate of downtown areas and the rise of suburban sprawl. Philadelphia Freedom Paper - A Bronx, New York, man with a longtime interest in African-American history recently purchased an intriguing document at a flea market; he believes it is a "freedom paper" for an African-American man named John Jubilee Jackson. The paper was issued in Philadelphia in 1821, and indicates that Jackson was from Virginia, a state where, by 1780, nearly half of all slaves resided. HISTORY DETECTIVES heads to Philadelphia, Mystic, Connecticut, and New York City to investigate the document and the life of John Jubilee Jackson, uncovering the remarkable and contradictory reality of free blacks struggling to get by in a racist society.

NOVA's team spent weeks living day and night with the doctors, surgeons, and military staff of the 21st Combat Support Hospital in Iraq. The film follows the daily drama of life and death in a tented hospital in the deserts north of Baghdad. Building a state-of-the-art hospital in the dust and heat is a remarkable achievement, but it represents only the start of the difficulties faced by the doctors and nurses of the 21st CSH. Relief at the lack of military casualties is soon replaced by high drama and difficult ethical decisions as Iraqi victims arrive, many of them children with horrific injuries caused by unexploded weapons. NOVA shows how innovations in battlefield medicine have transformed the survival prospects of such casualties, and provides an intimate story of the struggle for survival in a combat hospital.

Although women had played an integral role in the physical and intellectual health of Afghanistan, when the Taliban came to power in 1996 women were eliminated from its public sphere entirely. The fall of the Taliban in late 2001 ushered in a new era of reforms aimed at reintegrating Afghanistan's women into the nation's schools, political institutions and workplaces; however, as Kærn discovered, Afghan culture remains deeply rooted in conservative religious traditions.

An intriguing story about the lives and times of Lise Meitner and Otto Hahn, two remarkable scientists whose extraordinary collaboration culminated in the discovery of nuclear fission in 1938, turning Einstein's "theory" into atomic science. Not only did these two revolutionize the history of science and the role of women in physics and chemistry, their tale also parallels the social changes and turbulent history of their times. It involves the war against memory, Nazi intimidation, forced exile, betrayal, and a Nobel Prize awarded only in chemistry that to this day distorts science history. This documentary explores the development of atomic science in the first part of the twentieth century. It captures Meitner's efforts to make her way in the male-dominated world of physics, Hahn's early work and independent discoveries, their collaboration, the racial and political discrimination that forced Meitner to live in exile, and ongoing speculation about her exclusion from the Nobel Prize. These elements are explored through photos, letters, notes, stock footage, and maps; interviews with writers, scientists, and historians; and music of the day. Sound effects and animated graphics are employed in the presentation of the science.

Every prescription medicine you take is tested on humans before it’s approved for sale and use by the Food and Drug Administration. But if you assumed those tests are always done smartly, safely and ethically under the watchful eye of expert regulators, you would be very, very wrong. Perhaps even dead wrong. That’s what a team of investigative reporters from Bloomberg Markets magazine discovered in a yearlong investigation culminating in a devastating, award-winning report called "Big Pharma’s Shameful Secret." The magazine, an award-winning publication about business and finance published monthly by Bloomberg News, shared the closely-held secret that "across the US, the centers that do the testing -- and the regulators who watch them -- allow scores of people to be injured or killed." 3.7 million people in the U.S. have enrolled in drug tests sponsored by the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies. Each test requires stringent scientific and ethical standards. But the nation’s biggest drug companies now farm out 75 percent of experimental drug trials to for-profit centers whose practices are monitored by other for- profit companies, all of them paid by "Big Pharma." This conflict of interest, the magazine reports, has led to egregious incidents. AIR vividly brings the magazine’s explosive findings to life in interviews with victims and their families. Equally disturbing is the story of volunteers who enroll in more than one clinical trial at a time, in clear violation of both scientific and ethical protocol. AIR also includes an interview with an Argentine immigrant who says he received over $13,000 for participating in three clinical trials during the same period at two Miami testing companies, one of which was SFBC. When the report was published, SFBC threatened this man with deportation if he did not recant his statements to the magazine. Bloomberg Markets’ investigation into the seamy underside of clinical drug- trials won a coveted Investigative Reporters and Editors Certificate, as well as a George Polk Award for Health Reporting, led to a congressional investigation into human testing, and to the resignation of some top executives at SFBC.

No artist in the second half of the 20th century was more famous - or, perhaps, more famously misunderstood - than Andy Warhol. This two-part film, directed by Ric Burns, explores Warhol's astonishing artistic output - from the late 1940s to his untimely death in 1987 - paintings, drawings and photographs, films and television, books, magazines and musical performances. Set within the turbulent, changing context of his life and times, this portrait is the first to move deeply into the immense archives at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, the city of his humble origins. Obsessed with fame and a desire to transcend those origins, Warhol uniquely grasped the realities of modern society - the function of celebrity and of the mass media - and became the high priest of one of the most radical experiments in American culture, permanently penetrating and redefining the barrier between art and commerce.

Every prescription medicine you take is tested on humans before it’s approved for sale and use by the Food and Drug Administration. But if you assumed those tests are always done smartly, safely and ethically under the watchful eye of expert regulators, you would be very, very wrong. Perhaps even dead wrong. That’s what a team of investigative reporters from Bloomberg Markets magazine discovered in a yearlong investigation culminating in a devastating, award-winning report called "Big Pharma’s Shameful Secret." The magazine, an award-winning publication about business and finance published monthly by Bloomberg News, shared the closely-held secret that "across the US, the centers that do the testing -- and the regulators who watch them -- allow scores of people to be injured or killed." 3.7 million people in the U.S. have enrolled in drug tests sponsored by the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies. Each test requires stringent scientific and ethical standards. But the nation’s biggest drug companies now farm out 75 percent of experimental drug trials to for-profit centers whose practices are monitored by other for- profit companies, all of them paid by "Big Pharma." This conflict of interest, the magazine reports, has led to egregious incidents. AIR vividly brings the magazine’s explosive findings to life in interviews with victims and their families. Equally disturbing is the story of volunteers who enroll in more than one clinical trial at a time, in clear violation of both scientific and ethical protocol. AIR also includes an interview with an Argentine immigrant who says he received over $13,000 for participating in three clinical trials during the same period at two Miami testing companies, one of which was SFBC. When the report was published, SFBC threatened this man with deportation if he did not recant his statements to the magazine. Bloomberg Markets’ investigation into the seamy underside of clinical drug- trials won a coveted Investigative Reporters and Editors Certificate, as well as a George Polk Award for Health Reporting, led to a congressional investigation into human testing, and to the resignation of some top executives at SFBC.

In 1989, the Exxon Valdez tanker spilled 11 million gallons of crude oil -- an amount roughly equivalent to 125 Olympic-sized swimming pools -- into the waters off Alaska. Authorities responded to the disaster by improving safety regulations for big oil vessels. Reforms required ships to be built with double-hulls to reduce the likelihood of spills, an increase in tug boat escorts, and for crews to work limited hours to help curb human error. The reforms have seemed effective but, in 2004, the SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER's investigative journalist Eric Nalder interviewed a whistleblower from ConocoPhillips, the nation's third-largest oil company, which led to an investigation concluding that oil industry safety nets were being undermined.

"Block the Vote" Your right to vote -- is it under assault? Across the nation, states have enacted new laws supposedly designed to prevent voter fraud and avoid election day debacles, but qualified voters may also be left out in the cold, especially minorities, the poor, the elderly and the disabled. NOW looks at several states where these new rules may keep voters away from the polls in November. Many of these laws have been approved by the Department of Justice, which is charged with protecting the rights of all voters. "This is a concerted effort to make sure that certain people don’t have the opportunity to vote, that they don’t have the opportunity to participate in their own democracy", Georgia state representative Alisha Thomas Morgan told NOW.

Will new voting machines cure election headaches or cause them? The Help America Vote Act divided $3.1 billion among all 50 states to update their voting systems with new technology. On Friday September 8, NOW takes a close look at one Michigan county on Primary Day to see how the new machines are working, but also checks in on other states, including Texas, Iowa, New Mexico, and - you guessed it - Ohio. What we found was alarming - computer and human error, nonexistent contingency plans, and extreme vulnerability to tampering. "We are no more certain today than we were in 2000 that we will not have an embarrassing moment and a tragic outcome in this year's election," Deforest Soaries, former Chairman of the Election Assistance Commission, told NOW. Soaries and electronic voting experts say the government’s requirement to use the new machines has been implemented too quickly and without careful scrutiny, resulting in a dangerously flawed technology delivering on democracy’s greatest promise.

In the spring of 2004, the abuse of prisoners was front page news across the country. Attack dogs used on prisoners, assaults committed by guards, even deaths in custody. But while most of the media was focusing on those kinds of abuses in a faraway prison complex named Abu Ghraib, a veteran investigative journalist was finding the exact same thing in decidedly less exotic locales. Places like New Jersey and Louisiana. AIR traces a journey that began in the spring of 2004, when National Public Radio investigative reporter Daniel Zwerdling received a tip from an immigration lawyer. This began an award- winning reporting odyssey that would lead to the end of the practice of using attack dogs on prisoners at one prison, and highlight the scandal of a Jamaican man who died while being held in another. In his 18-month investigation, Zwerdling faced obstacle after obstacle. The Department of Homeland Security didn’t want him investigating; the prisons didn’t want him visiting. But Zwerdling persevered, and five months after his initial inquiry, he visited the detention center at Passaic County Jail in northern New Jersey. There he met with prisoners who described being beaten by prison guards and terrorized by dogs. NPR broadcast Zwerdling’s report on immigrant detainees on November 17-18, 2004. The next day, the Department of Homeland Security announced it had sent a memo to all facilities holding immigrant detainees: Stop using dogs. By then Zwerdling knew he had only scratched the story’s surface. He started collecting testimony from jails around the country, and tracking down eyewitnesses. Cultivating the trust of immigrant detainees proved the key to exposing the circumstances of the horrifying death of Richard Rust, a 34-year-old Jamaican. Rust died of a heart attack in the recreation yard of a Louisiana prison - a tragedy that could have been avoided if he had simply receive timely and adequate medical attention. Zwerdling was able to report on the lengthy delay in getting medical treatment for Rust, in violation of Federal rules. But he never could have done so if he hadn’t cultivated key sources inside the prison walls, men who courageously - with everything to lose - gave eyewitness testimony that allowed Zwerdling to uncover the truth behind Rust’s death. In An Inside Job, AIR reports from Washington D.C., Louisiana and Jamaica on a story that changed federal government policy and gave detainees a voice to demand their own better treatment.

Congress votes to support the president's plan to hold and try terrorist suspects. "We're giving our nation the ability to go forward with the trials, which are long over due", claims Senator John Mccain (R-AZ). But at what legal and political cost? Senator Patrick Leahy (R-AZ) says, "I think it is a farce. It's a farce in the Senate." Democrats push back on the terror debate. One strategy: shift blame on who should have stopped Osama bin Laden. Former president Bill Clinton said, "I got closer to killing him than anybody has gotten since, and if I were still president, we'd have more than 20,000 troops there trying to kill him."

The hurricane season of 2004 is categorized as one of the most active on record. It begins with an uneventful June and July then suddenly turns violent in August. Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center in Miami are confronted with satellite images showing a steady stream of tropical storms spinning across the Atlantic from Africa. Combining their experience with the latest technology they focus on making the most accurate predictions. As Hurricane Specialist Jack Bevens says, "If you get it wrong you can get a lot of people killed." No one wants to risk a wrong forecast. Anatomy of a Hurricane goes behind the scenes at the National Hurricane Center to see forecasters on a mission to save lives and property. It is a look at the stressful work of a dedicated staff as they track Charley, Frances, Ivan and Jeanne - all major hurricanes with unexpected challenges. It is also a look at the complicated dynamics of the atmosphere - why these hurricanes form and where they go.

In 1989, the Exxon Valdez tanker spilled 11 million gallons of crude oil -- an amount roughly equivalent to 125 Olympic-sized swimming pools -- into the waters off Alaska. Authorities responded to the disaster by improving safety regulations for big oil vessels. Reforms required ships to be built with double-hulls to reduce the likelihood of spills, an increase in tug boat escorts, and for crews to work limited hours to help curb human error. The reforms have seemed effective but, in 2004, the SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER's investigative journalist Eric Nalder interviewed a whistleblower from ConocoPhillips, the nation's third-largest oil company, which led to an investigation concluding that oil industry safety nets were being undermined.

Every prescription medicine you take is tested on humans before it’s approved for sale and use by the Food and Drug Administration. But if you assumed those tests are always done smartly, safely and ethically under the watchful eye of expert regulators, you would be very, very wrong. Perhaps even dead wrong. That’s what a team of investigative reporters from Bloomberg Markets magazine discovered in a yearlong investigation culminating in a devastating, award-winning report called "Big Pharma’s Shameful Secret." The magazine, an award-winning publication about business and finance published monthly by Bloomberg News, shared the closely-held secret that "across the US, the centers that do the testing -- and the regulators who watch them -- allow scores of people to be injured or killed." 3.7 million people in the U.S. have enrolled in drug tests sponsored by the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies. Each test requires stringent scientific and ethical standards. But the nation’s biggest drug companies now farm out 75 percent of experimental drug trials to for-profit centers whose practices are monitored by other for- profit companies, all of them paid by "Big Pharma." This conflict of interest, the magazine reports, has led to egregious incidents. AIR vividly brings the magazine’s explosive findings to life in interviews with victims and their families. Equally disturbing is the story of volunteers who enroll in more than one clinical trial at a time, in clear violation of both scientific and ethical protocol. AIR also includes an interview with an Argentine immigrant who says he received over $13,000 for participating in three clinical trials during the same period at two Miami testing companies, one of which was SFBC. When the report was published, SFBC threatened this man with deportation if he did not recant his statements to the magazine. Bloomberg Markets’ investigation into the seamy underside of clinical drug- trials won a coveted Investigative Reporters and Editors Certificate, as well as a George Polk Award for Health Reporting, led to a congressional investigation into human testing, and to the resignation of some top executives at SFBC.

In the spring of 2004, the abuse of prisoners was front page news across the country. Attack dogs used on prisoners, assaults committed by guards, even deaths in custody. But while most of the media was focusing on those kinds of abuses in a faraway prison complex named Abu Ghraib, a veteran investigative journalist was finding the exact same thing in decidedly less exotic locales. Places like New Jersey and Louisiana. AIR traces a journey that began in the spring of 2004, when National Public Radio investigative reporter Daniel Zwerdling received a tip from an immigration lawyer. This began an award- winning reporting odyssey that would lead to the end of the practice of using attack dogs on prisoners at one prison, and highlight the scandal of a Jamaican man who died while being held in another. In his 18-month investigation, Zwerdling faced obstacle after obstacle. The Department of Homeland Security didn’t want him investigating; the prisons didn’t want him visiting. But Zwerdling persevered, and five months after his initial inquiry, he visited the detention center at Passaic County Jail in northern New Jersey. There he met with prisoners who described being beaten by prison guards and terrorized by dogs. NPR broadcast Zwerdling’s report on immigrant detainees on November 17-18, 2004. The next day, the Department of Homeland Security announced it had sent a memo to all facilities holding immigrant detainees: Stop using dogs. By then Zwerdling knew he had only scratched the story’s surface. He started collecting testimony from jails around the country, and tracking down eyewitnesses. Cultivating the trust of immigrant detainees proved the key to exposing the circumstances of the horrifying death of Richard Rust, a 34-year-old Jamaican. Rust died of a heart attack in the recreation yard of a Louisiana prison - a tragedy that could have been avoided if he had simply receive timely and adequate medical attention. Zwerdling was able to report on the lengthy delay in getting medical treatment for Rust, in violation of Federal rules. But he never could have done so if he hadn’t cultivated key sources inside the prison walls, men who courageously - with everything to lose - gave eyewitness testimony that allowed Zwerdling to uncover the truth behind Rust’s death. In An Inside Job, AIR reports from Washington D.C., Louisiana and Jamaica on a story that changed federal government policy and gave detainees a voice to demand their own better treatment.

"Block the Vote" Your right to vote -- is it under assault? Across the nation, states have enacted new laws supposedly designed to prevent voter fraud and avoid election day debacles, but qualified voters may also be left out in the cold, especially minorities, the poor, the elderly and the disabled. NOW looks at several states where these new rules may keep voters away from the polls in November. Many of these laws have been approved by the Department of Justice, which is charged with protecting the rights of all voters. "This is a concerted effort to make sure that certain people don’t have the opportunity to vote, that they don’t have the opportunity to participate in their own democracy", Georgia state representative Alisha Thomas Morgan told NOW.

But the differences are big ones and they are within the president's own party as splits emerge on the issue of how to treat suspected terrorists. Senator John Warner (R-VA) says, "There are honest differences of opinion with respect to very complicated legal issues surrounding this case". And conservatives worry why their party would support a liberal Republican - "Thank you. Thank you", says Senator Lincoln Chafee (R-RI), and try to defeat a conservative one.

Part 2, also narrated by Robert Redford, is a continuation of Part 1 (JCOA203). Belief in the resilience of the natural system, especially under water, has never been more verifiable than with the advent of marine protected areas such as the National Marine Sanctuaries. Jean-Michel Cousteau and his crew team up with scientists, naturalists and policy makers to reveal to stunning beauty and critical importance of these underwater natural treasures. Sailing to, and diving beneath, thirteen 'parks' within the National Marine Sanctuary system, the team will reveal worlds little known and rarely visited along America's shorelines. Some sanctuaries are vital undersea habitats, historical sites and endangered reefs. Others are rich bays, banks and seamounts, and the breeding waters for critical ocean species such as rare sea turtles and the great whales. By visually experiencing the most up-to-date scientific review of each sanctuary, we begin to appreciate by the arcs between them that they are connected in a vast, unified system. A system that is, though nevertheless 'protected,' vulnerable.

In the spring of 2004, the abuse of prisoners was front page news across the country. Attack dogs used on prisoners, assaults committed by guards, even deaths in custody. But while most of the media was focusing on those kinds of abuses in a faraway prison complex named Abu Ghraib, a veteran investigative journalist was finding the exact same thing in decidedly less exotic locales. Places like New Jersey and Louisiana. AIR traces a journey that began in the spring of 2004, when National Public Radio investigative reporter Daniel Zwerdling received a tip from an immigration lawyer. This began an award- winning reporting odyssey that would lead to the end of the practice of using attack dogs on prisoners at one prison, and highlight the scandal of a Jamaican man who died while being held in another. In his 18-month investigation, Zwerdling faced obstacle after obstacle. The Department of Homeland Security didn’t want him investigating; the prisons didn’t want him visiting. But Zwerdling persevered, and five months after his initial inquiry, he visited the detention center at Passaic County Jail in northern New Jersey. There he met with prisoners who described being beaten by prison guards and terrorized by dogs. NPR broadcast Zwerdling’s report on immigrant detainees on November 17-18, 2004. The next day, the Department of Homeland Security announced it had sent a memo to all facilities holding immigrant detainees: Stop using dogs. By then Zwerdling knew he had only scratched the story’s surface. He started collecting testimony from jails around the country, and tracking down eyewitnesses. Cultivating the trust of immigrant detainees proved the key to exposing the circumstances of the horrifying death of Richard Rust, a 34-year-old Jamaican. Rust died of a heart attack in the recreation yard of a Louisiana prison - a tragedy that could have been avoided if he had simply receive timely and adequate medical attention. Zwerdling was able to report on the lengthy delay in getting medical treatment for Rust, in violation of Federal rules. But he never could have done so if he hadn’t cultivated key sources inside the prison walls, men who courageously - with everything to lose - gave eyewitness testimony that allowed Zwerdling to uncover the truth behind Rust’s death. In An Inside Job, AIR reports from Washington D.C., Louisiana and Jamaica on a story that changed federal government policy and gave detainees a voice to demand their own better treatment.
