Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic, and the first to cross the North American continent alone. Her exploits as an aviator, her beauty and intelligence, her independence and charm made her a national heroine. Seemingly invincible, Earhart tirelessly traveled and lectured, a champion of aviation and equal opportunity for women. But her cheering public didn't know the cost of her courage. The record-breaking flights, the aerial exhibitions and races, the interviews to support her favorite causes, the endless speeches and promotional commitments, together with household responsibilities, health problems, and financial worries, combined to push Earhart to the point of exhaustion. In 1937, she set out to accomplish yet another first: to circle the earth along the equator on an east-west flight. Friends warned that her preparations were hurried, even careless. When her plane disappeared without a trace, the "First Lady of the Air" was instantly transformed into an American legend.

"Show of Force" -- The mission really kicks off when the Nimitz arrives in the Gulf. The conditions are extreme: flight deck personnel endure temperatures hovering around 120 degrees, while the pilots undertake grueling six-hour missions over Iraq. The F-18s are mounted with infrared cameras, enabling them to serve as the "eyes in the sky" to support the troops on the ground. Some of the pilots are frustrated that they’re not dropping bombs because, as they describe it, that’s what they’ve been trained to do. The aircraft carrier’s role and effectiveness in this particular war are questioned. Meanwhile, the strike group searches for terrorists on small dhows and intercepts cargo ships to search for weapons and bomb-making materials. "Groundhog Day" -- After two months in the Gulf, one day starts to become indistinguishable from the next. The airwing still hasn’t dropped a single bomb, which is frustrating for some on board. The only relief comes from a port call in Bahrain, where some sailors relax by the pool, while others visit a mosque and learn about Muslim culture. The Princeton, one of the escort ships in the Nimitz strike group, loses a man overboard; an intense search to find the lost sailor ensues.

Cleveland rocks and so does this political campaign. We're here to find out why here in northeast this week on "Washington Week." Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) said, "Thank you" to the crowd. Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said, "Thank you, thank you" to his supporters, and Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) said, "Thank you so much" to hers. The presidential candidates have come and gone and will return again. States like Ohio are too important to ignore. Next door in Pennsylvania this week, the Democrats were preparing for the long haul. Sen. Clinton said, "Let me tell you something, when it comes to finishing the fight, Rocky and I have a lot in common. I never quit, I never give up, and I know that we're going to make it together." Sen. Obama replied, "We've got to remember, "Rocky" was a movie, and so is the idea that somebody can fight for working people and at the same time embrace the broken system in Washington." While Republican John McCain set out across the country to reintroduce himself to voters. His announcer referred to him as "John McCain, the American president Americans have been waiting for." The issues are as thorny as ever, the economy and the war. Who has the best ideas, the best strategy, and the most money to survive the next big test? We assess that this week with Jackie Calmes of , John Dickerson of Slate magazine, Michael Duffy of Time magazine, and Alexis Simendinger of National Journal.

The war in Iraq, rhetoric and reality, plus new help for homeowners, and the week in presidential politics, this week on "Washington Week." The administration says the news in Iraq is good. Gen. David Petraeus said, "There has been significant but uneven security progress in Iraq." But not good enough to pull out anytime soon. The generals want to freeze troop levels. Pres. George Bush said, "General Petraeus says he'll need time to consolidate his forces and assess how this reduced American presence will affect conditions on the ground. And I've told him he'll have all the time he needs." The response on Capitol Hill, not so good. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D- CA) said, "He is just dragging this out so he can put it at the doorstep of the new president of the United States." But Congress has at least one other immediate concern: how to signal to strapped American taxpayers that they're serious about fixing the economy. Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT) said, "If we could put up as much as $30 billion of your money on this kind of a deal, can't we get the same kind of commitment when it comes to 8,000 people every day losing their homes?" Meanwhile out on the campaign trail, Hillary Clinton's rough week from Mark Penn to Bill Clinton. We explain why.

In an effort to understand the mating game, NATURE follows biologist Chadden Hunter, PhD, through the Simien Mountains of northern Ethiopia, as he observes a troop of geladas, close cousins of baboons. He found that in gelada society females make all the decisions about mating, even though males are twice their size. The males are evaluated on everything from body heat to baby sitting skills. And once selected, no male gelada can ever rest on his laurels. Another male is always auditioning for his job. You'll also see female barn swallows that choose a male by the color of his chest and encounter a robotic sage grouse that is helping researchers learn about this species' elaborate courtship displays.

Apparently, there is nothing a male will not do for the right to mate with a female -- dance, sing, fight, change body colors, illuminate, even agree to be eaten alive. There is often a surplus of males, and they are instinctively driven to compete in order to pass their genes to the next generation. But it takes two to tango. Now, scientists are learning to what extremes males will go in order to find that dance partner.

As more and more Americans look for a response to the realities of climate change, FRONTLINE correspondent Deborah Amos investigates the political decisions that have prevented the United States government from confronting one of the most serious problems facing humanity today.

On June 22, 1969, the polluted Cuyahoga River caught fire. The river didn’t burn just in Cleveland -- it burned in the nation’s imagination. The country was beginning to pay attention to what was happening to its natural resources. The fire started a chain of events that hasn’t stopped yet. These include the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, Earth Day, the creation of environmental protection agencies at the federal and state levels and a rapidly growing consciousness in America about the environment. The Cuyahoga is America’s best example yet of a watery success story. The dead river came clean -- and back to life again.

Ten years ago, stimulants like Ritalin and Adderall were the drugs of choice to treat behavioral issues in children. Today children as young as four years old are being prescribed more powerful anti-psychotic medications that are much less understood. The drugs can cause serious side effects, and virtually nothing is known about their long-term impact. The increase in the use of anti-psychotics is directly tied to the rising incidence of one particular diagnosis - bipolar disorder. Experts estimate that the number of kids with the diagnosis is now more than a million and rising. As the debate over medicating children continues to grow, FRONTLINE producer Marcela Gaviria confronts psychiatrists, researchers and big pharma about the risks and benefits of prescription drugs for troubled children.

Health care costs in Pennsylvania are 11 percent higher than the national average and rising twice as fast as the average wage. The state legislature is debating a plan backed by Governor Ed Rendell to provide benefits to hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians, but there's disagreement over who's going to foot the bill. This week NOW gets insight on the problem and its proposed solution from a wide range of Pennsylvanians, including small business owners, legislators, a suburban family, and a packaged dessert company headquartered in Philadelphia that employs over 800 people. But the problem is bigger than Pennsylvania. With 47 million Americans uninsured and so many feeling the pinch of soaring coverage costs, can this Philadelphia experiment make a difference in the national crisis?

The war in Iraq, rhetoric and reality, plus new help for homeowners, and the week in presidential politics, this week on "Washington Week." The administration says the news in Iraq is good. Gen. David Petraeus said, "There has been significant but uneven security progress in Iraq." But not good enough to pull out anytime soon. The generals want to freeze troop levels. Pres. George Bush said, "General Petraeus says he'll need time to consolidate his forces and assess how this reduced American presence will affect conditions on the ground. And I've told him he'll have all the time he needs." The response on Capitol Hill, not so good. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D- CA) said, "He is just dragging this out so he can put it at the doorstep of the new president of the United States." But Congress has at least one other immediate concern: how to signal to strapped American taxpayers that they're serious about fixing the economy. Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT) said, "If we could put up as much as $30 billion of your money on this kind of a deal, can't we get the same kind of commitment when it comes to 8,000 people every day losing their homes?" Meanwhile out on the campaign trail, Hillary Clinton's rough week from Mark Penn to Bill Clinton. We explain why.

Cleveland rocks and so does this political campaign. We're here to find out why here in northeast Ohio this week on "Washington Week." Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) said, "Thank you" to the crowd. Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said, "Thank you, thank you" to his supporters, and Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) said, "Thank you so much" to hers. The presidential candidates have come and gone and will return again. States like Ohio are too important to ignore. Next door in Pennsylvania this week, the Democrats were preparing for the long haul. Sen. Clinton said, "Let me tell you something, when it comes to finishing the fight, Rocky and I have a lot in common. I never quit, I never give up, and I know that we're going to make it together." Sen. Obama replied, "We've got to remember, "Rocky" was a movie, and so is the idea that somebody can fight for working people and at the same time embrace the broken system in Washington." While Republican John McCain set out across the country to reintroduce himself to voters. His announcer referred to him as "John McCain, the American president Americans have been waiting for."

Barack Obama (D-IL) said, "During the course of the last few days, she's said I'm elitist, out of touch, condescending." Sen.

Four in five Americans say the U.S. health-care system needs "fundamental" change. Can the U.S. learn anything from the rest of the world about how to run a health-care system, or are these nations so culturally different from us that their solutions would simply not be acceptable to Americans? FRONTLINE correspondent T.R. Reid examines first-hand the health-care systems of other advanced capitalist democracies -- UK, France, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, and Taiwan -- to see what tried and tested ideas might help us reform our broken health-care system.

Cleveland rocks and so does this political campaign. We're here to find out why here in northeast Ohio this week on "Washington Week." Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) said, "Thank you" to the crowd. Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said, "Thank you, thank you" to his supporters, and Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) said, "Thank you so much" to hers. The presidential candidates have come and gone and will return again. States like Ohio are too important to ignore. Next door in Pennsylvania this week, the Democrats were preparing for the long haul. Sen. Clinton said, "Let me tell you something, when it comes to finishing the fight, Rocky and I have a lot in common. I never quit, I never give up, and I know that we're going to make it together." Sen. Obama replied, "We've got to remember, "Rocky" was a movie, and so is the idea that somebody can fight for working people and at the same time embrace the broken system in Washington." While Republican John McCain set out across the country to reintroduce himself to voters. His announcer referred to him as "John McCain, the American president Americans have been waiting for." The issues are as thorny as ever, the economy and the war. Who has the best ideas, the best strategy, and the most money to survive the next big test? We assess that this week with Jackie Calmes of the Wall Street Journal, John Dickerson of Slate magazine, Michael Duffy of Time magazine, and Alexis Simendinger of National Journal.

The war in Iraq, rhetoric and reality, plus new help for homeowners, and the week in presidential politics, this week on "Washington Week." The administration says the news in Iraq is good. Gen. David Petraeus said, "There has been significant but uneven security progress in Iraq." But not good enough to pull out anytime soon. The generals want to freeze troop levels. Pres. George Bush said, "General Petraeus says he'll need time to consolidate his forces and assess how this reduced American presence will affect conditions on the ground. And I've told him he'll have all the time he needs." The response on Capitol Hill, not so good. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D- CA) said, "He is just dragging this out so he can put it at the doorstep of the new president of the United States." But Congress has at least one other immediate concern: how to signal to strapped American taxpayers that they're serious about fixing the economy. Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT) said, "If we could put up as much as $30 billion of your money on this kind of a deal, can't we get the same kind of commitment when it comes to 8,000 people every day losing their homes?" Meanwhile out on the campaign trail, Hillary Clinton's rough week from Mark Penn to Bill Clinton. We explain why. Covering the week, Peter Baker of the Washington Post, James Kitfield of National Journal, Michael Viqueira of NBC News, and Karen Tumulty of Time magazine.

Health care costs in Pennsylvania are 11 percent higher than the national average and rising twice as fast as the average wage. The state legislature is debating a plan backed by Governor Ed Rendell to provide benefits to hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians, but there's disagreement over who's going to foot the bill. This week NOW gets insight on the problem and its proposed solution from a wide range of Pennsylvanians, including small business owners, legislators, a suburban family, and a packaged dessert company headquartered in Philadelphia that employs over 800 people. But the problem is bigger than Pennsylvania. With 47 million Americans uninsured and so many feeling the pinch of soaring coverage costs, can this Philadelphia experiment make a difference in the national crisis?

This week NOW travels to Nepal where we meet the Nepalese Youth Opportunity Foundation, which is trying to break the cycle of poverty and pain with an "Enterprising Idea." They're providing desperate families with an incentive to keep their daughters: a piglet or a goat that can ultimately be sold for a sum equivalent to that of their child's labor. The organization says it has brought thousands of girls home to live with their families, but many cultural and political challenges still stand in their way. This is part of NOW's continuing series on innovative and sustainable solutions to world problems. What we call "Enterprising Ideas."

"Rites of Passage" -- The last day in the Gulf is the last chance to drop bombs before the Nimitz heads home. The jets take off, laden with ordnance, and return hours later, still carrying the same bombs. As the Nimitz crosses the equator, the entire ship takes part in the Crossing the Line Ceremony, an ancient maritime ritual. In the middle of flight operations, a storm arises in the South Indian Ocean. The deck pitches violently, turning the already dangerous task of landing on the carrier into a nail-biting, heart-pounding drama. "True Believers" -- This episode explores the many expressions of faith onboard the USS Nimitz: faith in self, faith in one’s shipmates, faith in the mission of the ship and the president’s call to arms. The major religious groups on board are Catholic and Protestant, but there also is a coven of Wiccans, as well as a Pentecostal group whose newest member is challenged by the duality of his beliefs and the temptations of liberty as the ship drops anchor in Perth, Australia.

Pennsylvania, the pope, and the death penalty, this week on "Washington Week." Sen.

Hillary Clinton (D-NY) said, "What we have to do as Democrats is make sure we get enough votes to win in November." The fur is flying. Sen. Obama said, "You just got to kind of let it - you know." The Pennsylvania primary is days away and the stakes are crystal clear. What does each candidate have to do? And will Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) benefit from Democratic infighting? He said, "They're going to raise your taxes by thousands of dollars a year and they have the audacity to hope you don't mind." A man who knows a thing or two about hope did make it to the White House this week - Pope Benedict XVI. He said to the crowd, "God bless America."

Dating and sex aboard ship are strictly forbidden, but according to one sailor, with 5,000 people on board, relationships are "inevitable," resulting in a "don’t ask, don’t tell" policy that applies to relationships as well as sexual orientation.

The captain announces that they are heading for Korea, but the crew can’t share this information with their families back home...because it’s a secret. "Squared Away" -- Mentoring and camaraderie are what hold the ship together. But life on deployment is stressful for everyone aboard, and there can be considerable friction between enlisted personnel and their superiors. Port calls allow sailors to blow off steam, but they don’t relieve all the pressure. In Guam, a young sailor coming to terms with his upbringing can’t play by the rules and is forced out of the Navy. From Guam, the Nimitz sails through the Straits of Malacca, past Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, the last liberty call before the long haul to the Persian Gulf.

Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic, and the first to cross the North American continent alone. Her exploits as an aviator, her beauty and intelligence, her independence and charm made her a national heroine. Seemingly invincible, Earhart tirelessly traveled and lectured, a champion of aviation and equal opportunity for women. But her cheering public didn't know the cost of her courage. The record-breaking flights, the aerial exhibitions and races, the interviews to support her favorite causes, the endless speeches and promotional commitments, together with household responsibilities, health problems, and financial worries, combined to push Earhart to the point of exhaustion. In 1937, she set out to accomplish yet another first: to circle the earth along the equator on an east-west flight. Friends warned that her preparations were hurried, even careless. When her plane disappeared without a trace, the "First Lady of the Air" was instantly transformed into an American legend.

Cleveland rocks and so does this political campaign. We're here to find out why here in northeast Ohio this week on "Washington Week." Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) said, "Thank you" to the crowd. Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said, "Thank you, thank you" to his supporters, and Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) said, "Thank you so much" to hers. The presidential candidates have come and gone and will return again. States like Ohio are too important to ignore. Next door in Pennsylvania this week, the Democrats were preparing for the long haul. Sen. Clinton said, "Let me tell you something, when it comes to finishing the fight, Rocky and I have a lot in common. I never quit, I never give up, and I know that we're going to make it together." Sen. Obama replied, "We've got to remember, "Rocky" was a movie, and so is the idea that somebody can fight for working people and at the same time embrace the broken system in Washington." While Republican John McCain set out across the country to reintroduce himself to voters. His announcer referred to him as "John McCain, the American president Americans have been waiting for." The issues are as thorny as ever, the economy and the war. Who has the best ideas, the best strategy, and the most money to survive the next big test? We assess that this week with Jackie Calmes of the Wall Street Journal, John Dickerson of Slate magazine, Michael Duffy of Time magazine, and Alexis Simendinger of National Journal.

The war in Iraq, rhetoric and reality, plus new help for homeowners, and the week in presidential politics, this week on "Washington Week." The administration says the news in Iraq is good. Gen. David Petraeus said, "There has been significant but uneven security progress in Iraq." But not good enough to pull out anytime soon. The generals want to freeze troop levels. Pres. George Bush said, "General Petraeus says he'll need time to consolidate his forces and assess how this reduced American presence will affect conditions on the ground. And I've told him he'll have all the time he needs." The response on Capitol Hill, not so good. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D- CA) said, "He is just dragging this out so he can put it at the doorstep of the new president of the United States." But Congress has at least one other immediate concern: how to signal to strapped American taxpayers that they're serious about fixing the economy. Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT) said, "If we could put up as much as $30 billion of your money on this kind of a deal, can't we get the same kind of commitment when it comes to 8,000 people every day losing their homes?" Meanwhile out on the campaign trail, Hillary Clinton's rough week from Mark Penn to Bill Clinton. We explain why. Covering the week, Peter Baker of the Washington Post, James Kitfield of National Journal, Michael Viqueira of NBC News, and Karen Tumulty of Time magazine.

"All Hands" -- On a bright May morning, 5,000 sailors and Marines bid farewell to their loved ones before the mammoth USS Nimitz pulls out of Coronado, California, and sets a course for Hawaii and beyond. Among the men and women who live and work on board are an airman who describes the ship as a small town; a pilot who considers the ship a powerful instrument of diplomacy; a sailor who questions "why we’re fighting to defend someone else’s freedom when we barely have our own"; a cook who dishes out 15,000 meals a day; and an airman who has just learned that his girlfriend is pregnant. "Controlled Chaos" -- The men and women of the USS Nimitz live beneath the runway of a major airport. They sleep on the roof of a nuclear power plant. It’s a perilous environment. Their only bulwark against danger and chaos is to bond with their units on board the ship. The "Shooters," who launch the jets, have a "Circle of Trust;" the Ordies (ordnance personnel) pride themselves on being a "mafia;" the F-18 squadrons -- the Black Aces, the Hoboes and the Marine Red Devils -- are tight fraternities.

Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic, and the first to cross the North American continent alone. Her exploits as an aviator, her beauty and intelligence, her independence and charm made her a national heroine. Seemingly invincible, Earhart tirelessly traveled and lectured, a champion of aviation and equal opportunity for women. But her cheering public didn't know the cost of her courage. The record-breaking flights, the aerial exhibitions and races, the interviews to support her favorite causes, the endless speeches and promotional commitments, together with household responsibilities, health problems, and financial worries, combined to push Earhart to the point of exhaustion. In 1937, she set out to accomplish yet another first: to circle the earth along the equator on an east-west flight. Friends warned that her preparations were hurried, even careless. When her plane disappeared without a trace, the "First Lady of the Air" was instantly transformed into an American legend.

Ten years ago, stimulants like Ritalin and Adderall were the drugs of choice to treat behavioral issues in children. Today children as young as four years old are being prescribed more powerful anti-psychotic medications that are much less understood. The drugs can cause serious side effects, and virtually nothing is known about their long-term impact. The increase in the use of anti-psychotics is directly tied to the rising incidence of one particular diagnosis - bipolar disorder. Experts estimate that the number of kids with the diagnosis is now more than a million and rising. As the debate over medicating children continues to grow, FRONTLINE producer Marcela Gaviria confronts psychiatrists, researchers and big pharma about the risks and benefits of prescription drugs for troubled children.

Unable to make ends meet, many families in western Nepal have been forced to sell their daughters, some as young as six, to work far from home as bonded servants in private homes. This week NOW travels to Nepal where we meet the Nepalese Youth Opportunity Foundation, which is trying to break the cycle of poverty and pain with an "Enterprising Idea." They're providing desperate families with an incentive to keep their daughters: a piglet or a goat that can ultimately be sold for a sum equivalent to that of their child's labor. The organization says it has brought thousands of girls home to live with their families, but many cultural and political challenges still stand in their way. This is part of NOW's continuing series on innovative and sustainable solutions to world problems. What we call "Enterprising Ideas."

"The Center of the World" explores Roosevelt's family background and education, looking for clues to the coddled rich child's ascent to political success. It follows him from his very first run for political office as New York state senator through his years in Washington as assistant secretary of the navy, as he pursues the highest office in the land. This segment also tells the story of FDR's courtship of his distant cousin, Eleanor Roosevelt, and their troubled marriage, including FDR's affair with Eleanor's social secretary, Lucy Mercer. The affair, which nearly ended the marriage, encouraged Eleanor to embrace a life of her own and become politically active. The second segment, "Fear Itself," begins with Roosevelt's bout with polio at age 39 and follows his relentless struggle to rehabilitate his body and his seemingly moribund political career, and to teach himself to appear to walk. The section also paints a portrait of Eleanor Roosevelt as she makes a life of her own, developing her own political skills while keeping her husband's name before the public through her involvement in reform causes. A remarkable sequence of events leads FDR back from despair to win his party's nomination as president of the United States. Catapulted into the White House, a man who could not walk begins to lead a country crippled by the Great Depression.

The first segment, "The Grandest Job in the World," focuses on the first two terms of Roosevelt's presidency and explores the central paradox of his presidency: that a man of privilege came to be a hero to a vast and varied coalition of ordinary Americans and a villain to members of his own social class. The episode moves inside the Oval Office to show FDR's response to the massive problems posed by the Great Depression, and out to the heartland to document how his programs and personal style - ebullient, risk-taking and surprisingly cunning - restored hope to Americans who had lost hope. This section also looks at how FDR engineered the "splendid deception" that hid the extent of his physical disability from the American people and how his relationship with his wife affected both his personal and political life. The last section, "The Juggler," is devoted to the wartime years, using FDR's remarkable correspondence with Winston Churchill to chart the calculated and even devious path by which the American president maneuvered support for England before he led his country through the greatest war in history. This segment also traces FDR's management of the war, including his growing personal ties to Churchill and his relationship with Stalin and the Soviet Union, and explores Eleanor's attempt to convince him to maintain the principles of the New Deal, despite the pressures of war.

"Show of Force" -- The mission really kicks off when the Nimitz arrives in the Gulf. The conditions are extreme: flight deck personnel endure temperatures hovering around 120 degrees, while the pilots undertake grueling six-hour missions over Iraq. The F-18s are mounted with infrared cameras, enabling them to serve as the "eyes in the sky" to support the troops on the ground. Some of the pilots are frustrated that they’re not dropping bombs because, as they describe it, that’s what they’ve been trained to do. The aircraft carrier’s role and effectiveness in this particular war are questioned. Meanwhile, the strike group searches for terrorists on small dhows and intercepts cargo ships to search for weapons and bomb-making materials. "Groundhog Day" -- After two months in the Gulf, one day starts to become indistinguishable from the next. The airwing still hasn’t dropped a single bomb, which is frustrating for some on board. The only relief comes from a port call in Bahrain, where some sailors relax by the pool, while others visit a mosque and learn about Muslim culture. The Princeton, one of the escort ships in the Nimitz strike group, loses a man overboard; an intense search to find the lost sailor ensues.

In the 1970s, female East German athletes came out of nowhere to dominate international sport. But behind their success lay a secret, state-sponsored doping program that distributed untested steroids and male hormones to athletes as young as 12. Many of these girls had no knowledge that they were being doped, and now, as grown women (and men), their broken bodies and damaged psyches bear witness to the cruelty of a government that pursued international glory and gold at the expense of its most acclaimed citizens. "Doping for Gold" digs deep into the secretive Cold War world of East German athletes, examining what drugs were used, how they were distributed and what damage they did to many of the athletes who were forced to take them. The result creates a timely perspective on today's many doping scandals and reveals the truth behind the biggest and most horrifying state-sponsored doping program the world has ever known.

Bush said, "I will tell you that these are very difficult economic times - very difficult." Jobs lost, gas prices soaring and another interest rate cut.

After Harry Truman's unlikely rise to the presidency, he would face some of the biggest crises of the century. Truman would end the war with Germany; use the atomic bomb against Japan; confront an expanding Soviet Union; and wage war in Korea -- all while the woman he adored, his wife Bess, refused to stay in the White House and play the role of First Lady. On the homefront, Truman was the first president to tackle civil rights issues for blacks -- a move that would prove controversial when campaigning for his second term. His unpredictable win over Thomas Dewey in the presidential elections of 1948 proved to Truman that he had finally separated himself from FDR's shadow. However, his second term brought another war and battles with Congress to pass health care and civil rights legislation. Exhausted after his second term, Truman relinquished the presidency and retired to Independence, Missouri, where he lived as a popular and well-loved citizen. In later years, he would receive recognition for all his accomplishments and come to be admired as a gritty American original.

A trip through the trippy world of exit strategies, foreign policy maneuverings, and vice presidential speculation this week on "Washington Week." Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) said, "They're ready to turn the page and write a new chapter in American history. And on June 3rd we are going to bring this nomination to a close." And apparently not one minute before. Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) said, "I'm going to keep making our case until we have a nominee, whoever she may be." But what's really going on. Is Hillary Clinton actually competing? Can Barack Obama afford to wait to claim the nomination? And on the Republican side, is Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) simply moving on without him especially on foreign policy? McCain said, "Senator Obama has little or no experience on these issues." And Washington's revolving doors. Do lobbyists matter? Covering the week, Dan Balz of the Washington Post, Karen Tumulty of Time Magazine, Tom Gjelten of National Public Radio, and Eamon Javers of Politico.

"The Center of the World" explores Roosevelt's family background and education, looking for clues to the coddled rich child's ascent to political success. It follows him from his very first run for political office as New York state senator through his years in Washington as assistant secretary of the navy, as he pursues the highest office in the land. This segment also tells the story of FDR's courtship of his distant cousin, Eleanor Roosevelt, and their troubled marriage, including FDR's affair with Eleanor's social secretary, Lucy Mercer. The affair, which nearly ended the marriage, encouraged Eleanor to embrace a life of her own and become politically active. The second segment, "Fear Itself," begins with Roosevelt's bout with polio at age 39 and follows his relentless struggle to rehabilitate his body and his seemingly moribund political career, and to teach himself to appear to walk. The section also paints a portrait of Eleanor Roosevelt as she makes a life of her own, developing her own political skills while keeping her husband's name before the public through her involvement in reform causes. A remarkable sequence of events leads FDR back from despair to win his party's nomination as president of the United States. Catapulted into the White House, a man who could not walk begins to lead a country crippled by the Great Depression.

The first segment, "The Grandest Job in the World," focuses on the first two terms of Roosevelt's presidency and explores the central paradox of his presidency: that a man of privilege came to be a hero to a vast and varied coalition of ordinary Americans and a villain to members of his own social class. The episode moves inside the Oval Office to show FDR's response to the massive problems posed by the Great Depression, and out to the heartland to document how his programs and personal style - ebullient, risk-taking and surprisingly cunning - restored hope to Americans who had lost hope. This section also looks at how FDR engineered the "splendid deception" that hid the extent of his physical disability from the American people and how his relationship with his wife affected both his personal and political life. The last section, "The Juggler," is devoted to the wartime years, using FDR's remarkable correspondence with Winston Churchill to chart the calculated and even devious path by which the American president maneuvered support for England before he led his country through the greatest war in history. This segment also traces FDR's management of the war, including his growing personal ties to Churchill and his relationship with Stalin and the Soviet Union, and explores Eleanor's attempt to convince him to maintain the principles of the New Deal, despite the pressures of war.

In the 1970s, female East German athletes came out of nowhere to dominate international sport. But behind their success lay a secret, state-sponsored doping program that distributed untested steroids and male hormones to athletes as young as 12. Many of these girls had no knowledge that they were being doped, and now, as grown women (and men), their broken bodies and damaged psyches bear witness to the cruelty of a government that pursued international glory and gold at the expense of its most acclaimed citizens. "Doping for Gold" digs deep into the secretive Cold War world of East German athletes, examining what drugs were used, how they were distributed and what damage they did to many of the athletes who were forced to take them. The result creates a timely perspective on today's many doping scandals and reveals the truth behind the biggest and most horrifying state-sponsored doping program the world has ever known.

Every so often a giant emerges on the stage of science, someone who transcends the narrow boundaries of a particular line of research and alters our perspective on the world. E.O. Wilson is such a man. In "Lord of the Ants," NOVA profiles this soft-spoken Southerner renowned for his scientific study of ants that led to his 1975 book "Sociobiology: The New Synthesis," where he put forth the notion that evolutionary principles could explain social behavior throughout the animal kingdom, including in humans. Though sociobiology was a controversial new discipline at the time, today experimental science shows that genes do play a role in aspects of human behavior. E.O. Wilson is an icon of our times: a lord of the ants who sought to explain nature on earth and who now fights for its survival through his worldwide conservation efforts. Actor and environmentalist Harrison Ford narrates this engaging portrait of a ceaselessly active scientist and eloquent writer, who has accumulated two Pulitzer Prizes among his many other honors.

The first segment, "The Grandest Job in the World," focuses on the first two terms of Roosevelt's presidency and explores the central paradox of his presidency: that a man of privilege came to be a hero to a vast and varied coalition of ordinary Americans and a villain to members of his own social class. The episode moves inside the Oval Office to show FDR's response to the massive problems posed by the Great Depression, and out to the heartland to document how his programs and personal style - ebullient, risk-taking and surprisingly cunning - restored hope to Americans who had lost hope. This section also looks at how FDR engineered the "splendid deception" that hid the extent of his physical disability from the American people and how his relationship with his wife affected both his personal and political life. The last section, "The Juggler," is devoted to the wartime years, using FDR's remarkable correspondence with Winston Churchill to chart the calculated and even devious path by which the American president maneuvered support for England before he led his country through the greatest war in history. This segment also traces FDR's management of the war, including his growing personal ties to Churchill and his relationship with Stalin and the Soviet Union, and explores Eleanor's attempt to convince him to maintain the principles of the New Deal, despite the pressures of war.

The cosmos has a secret ingredient: a swarm of invisible particles that fills every cubic inch of space. Trillions of them zip through our bodies but we don't notice a thing. Yet without these ghostly, mysterious particles known as neutrinos, the sun wouldn't shine and the elements that make up our world wouldn't exist. NOVA tells the 70-year struggle of scientists to understand them, a tale of atom spies, secret laboratories, and mind-boggling disappearances. This is the story of a discovery that shatters scientists' understanding of what the universe is made of, and could bring us closer than ever to understanding how the universe was first formed.

The Supreme Court rocks the house, and the candidates hurl rocks at each other, this week on Washington Week. The Supreme Court rules that terror suspects at Guantanamo can challenge their detention in federal court - a big decision with legal and political implications. Pres. George W. Bush responded, "We'll abide by the court's decision. That doesn't mean I have to agree with it." Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) said, "It's a vindication for those of us who argued from the beginning that it was unwise as well as unconstitutional." But everything has political implications this year, as former Hillary Clinton backers switch sides. Standing beside Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) and his wife, Gov. Strickland said, "You're seeing here today in Columbus, Ohio, the next president and the next first lady." And as the two candidates spar over everything from taxes to gas prices, to presumed guilt by association. Obama said, "The centerpiece of John McCain's economic plan amounts to a full-throated endorsement of George Bush's policy." And also this week, a remembrance of our friend and colleague Tim Russert. Covering the week, Linda Greenhouse of the New York Times, Karen Tumulty of Time magazine, Juliet Eilperin of the Washington Post, and David Wessel of the Wall Street Journal.

The final episode begins with Churchill's trip to the Normandy beaches in June 1944. When victory in Europe finally came, Churchill led the celebrations, but in private, he brooded about the dangers of Stalin and communism. Two months later, he lost an election, but returned to contest the 1951 election, pledging to lead Britain in the post-war age and determined to forge a peaceful alliance between the U.S. and the USSR.

The Supreme Court rocks the house, and the candidates hurl rocks at each other, this week on Washington Week. The Supreme Court rules that terror suspects at Guantanamo can challenge their detention in federal court - a big decision with legal and political implications. Pres. George W. Bush responded, "We'll abide by the court's decision. That doesn't mean I have to agree with it." Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) said, "It's a vindication for those of us who argued from the beginning that it was unwise as well as unconstitutional." But everything has political implications this year, as former Hillary Clinton backers switch sides. Standing beside Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) and his wife, Gov. Strickland said, "You're seeing here today in Columbus, Ohio, the next president and the next first lady." And as the two candidates spar over everything from taxes to gas prices, to presumed guilt by association. Obama said, "The centerpiece of John McCain's economic plan amounts to a full-throated endorsement of George Bush's policy." And also this week, a remembrance of our friend and colleague Tim Russert.

Landmark Supreme Court rulings, unity in New Hampshire, and a nuclear reversal; a lot to talk about this week on "Washington Week." The Supreme Court ends its term with a bang, striking down a law that banned guns, and yet another one that imposed the death penalty on child rapists. How could one court do two such different things? We look at the end of the term. The Democrats kiss and make up. At a campaign event with Sen. Barack Obama (D- IL), Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) said, "We may have started on separate paths, but today our paths have merged. Today, we are coming together for the same goal: to elect Barack Obama as the next President of the United States." Obama responded to the cheering crowd, "She rocks. She rocks. That's the point I'm trying to make." Or do they? What can Hillary Clinton do for Barack Obama? And what can he do for her? While back at the White House, a change of heart on North Korea. Pres. George W. Bush said, "Multilateral diplomacy is the best way to peacefully solve the nuclear issue with North Korea." The isolated nation no longer considered a state sponsor of terrorism. Is it no longer a nuclear threat? Covering the week: Linda Greenhouse of the New York Times, Pete Williams of NBC News, James Barnes of National Journal, and Peter Baker of the New York Times.

The Toba eruption may have helped kick the climate into an unprecedented freeze and perhaps even pushed ancestral human populations to the brink of extinction. In a classic science detective story, NOVA pieces together the clues about this great catastrophe and probes questions raised about human evolution and Earth’s fragile ecosystems.

The Outer Banks of North Carolina are a slim and moving line of sand in the open Atlantic. Many travelers think they know these islands, but south of Ocracoke Inlet there rises a luminous bar of sand 60 miles in extent, with no roads, no bridges and no hotels. These are the wild beaches of Cape Lookout - one of the few remaining natural barrier islands in the world. At once an exaltation and elegy, "Ribbon of Sand" profiles this seascape and the transitory islands that are doomed to disappear. Meryl Streep reads excerpts from Rachel Carson's writings.

This week NOW takes a look at the non-profit organization Just Price Solutions and the man behind it, Brian Cosgrove. Cosgrove identified a problem: many low or moderate income borrowers were getting steered into subprime scams because they had low credit scores. But these scores were often low because the home buyers simply didn't take out enough loans or credit cards. Cosgrove's goal was to help the millions of Americans with lower incomes purchase a home without being caught in a "subprime" nightmare, so he and his team created an online software application to measure creditworthiness differently: their track record of paying regular bills, like rent and utilities. By making it cheaper and easier to analyze creditworthiness, Just Price Solutions helps banks offer affordable mortgages to people who would otherwise be forced to pay high interest rates.

Landmark Supreme Court rulings, unity in New Hampshire, and a nuclear reversal; a lot to talk about this week on "Washington Week." The Supreme Court ends its term with a bang, striking down a law that banned guns, and yet another one that imposed the death penalty on child rapists. How could one court do two such different things? We look at the end of the term. The Democrats kiss and make up. At a campaign event with Sen. Barack Obama (D- IL), Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) said, "We may have started on separate paths, but today our paths have merged. Today, we are coming together for the same goal: to elect Barack Obama as the next President of the United States." Obama responded to the cheering crowd, "She rocks. She rocks. That's the point I'm trying to make." Or do they? What can Hillary Clinton do for Barack Obama? And what can he do for her? While back at the White House, a change of heart on North Korea. Pres. George W. Bush said, "Multilateral diplomacy is the best way to peacefully solve the nuclear issue with North Korea." The isolated nation no longer considered a state sponsor of terrorism. Is it no longer a nuclear threat? Covering the week: Linda Greenhouse of the New York Times, Pete Williams of NBC News, James Barnes of National Journal, and Peter Baker of the New York Times.

NOW's David Brancaccio talks with the former head of U.S. Central Command, Admiral William J. Fallon, who resigned in March after a year of duty. Fallon was considered to be at odds with the Bush Administration's Middle East policy toward Iran. The former commander of U.S. military forces in the Middle East and Central Asia, Fallon was portrayed in Esquire magazine as the man in the military preventing the administration from going to war with Iran. Fallon thought his profile was twisted into a personal attack on President Bush. Esquire stood by the story. Also, political columnist and "The Uprising" author David Sirota talks about the populist movement spreading through the country.

The Supreme Court rocks the house, and the candidates hurl rocks at each other, this week on Washington Week. The Supreme Court rules that terror suspects at Guantanamo can challenge their detention in federal court - a big decision with legal and political implications. Pres. George W. Bush responded, "We'll abide by the court's decision. That doesn't mean I have to agree with it." Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) said, "It's a vindication for those of us who argued from the beginning that it was unwise as well as unconstitutional." But everything has political implications this year, as former Hillary Clinton backers switch sides. Standing beside Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) and his wife, Gov. Strickland said, "You're seeing here today in Columbus, Ohio, the next president and the next first lady." And as the two candidates spar over everything from taxes to gas prices, to presumed guilt by association. Obama said, "The centerpiece of John McCain's economic plan amounts to a full-throated endorsement of George Bush's policy." And also this week, a remembrance of our friend and colleague Tim Russert.

Often hailed as both the first modern scientist and the last of the ancient magicians, Isaac Newton reduced nature's chaos to a single set of mathematical laws. More than three centuries later, those laws still govern the way we analyze and forecast the motions of everything from roller coasters to comets. Besides his fundamental breakthroughs in physics, optics and calculus, Newton poured vast energy into fruitless explorations of alchemy and religion. With lively period re-creations of key moments in his career and replications of his experiments in optics and alchemy, NOVA explores how Newton became the giant upon whose shoulders all later scientists found a place to stand.

This week NOW takes a look at the non-profit organization Just Price Solutions and the man behind it, Brian Cosgrove. Cosgrove identified a problem: many low or moderate income borrowers were getting steered into subprime scams because they had low credit scores. But these scores were often low because the home buyers simply didn't take out enough loans or credit cards. Cosgrove's goal was to help the millions of Americans with lower incomes purchase a home without being caught in a "subprime" nightmare, so he and his team created an online software application to measure creditworthiness differently: their track record of paying regular bills, like rent and utilities. By making it cheaper and easier to analyze creditworthiness, Just Price Solutions helps banks offer affordable mortgages to people who would otherwise be forced to pay high interest rates.
