He has been portrayed in countless movies and television shows by some of Hollywood's greatest actors, including Henry Fonda, Jimmy Stewart and, more recently, Kevin Costner, but these popular fictions belie the complexities and flaws of a man whose life is a lens on politics, justice and economic opportunity on the American frontier.

Shortly after his death in 1929, distressed Americans down on their luck transformed Wyatt Earp into a folk hero: a central figure in the American narrative of how the West was won, a man who took control of his own destiny.

Sam Cooke put the spirit of the Black church into popular music -- creating a new sound and setting into motion a chain of events that forever altered the course of popular music and race relations in America. With "You Send Me" in 1957, Cooke became the first African American artist to reach #1 on both the R&B and the pop charts. It was groundbreaking. It was also risky for this young gospel performer to alienate his fans by embracing "the devil's music" -- but he proved, with his pop/gospel hybrid, that it was, indeed, possible to win over white teenage listeners and keep his faithful church followers intact.

Chaos on the Potomac, the Supreme Court guts campaign finance limits. Massachusetts elects a Republican senator, health care reform’s on life support, plus we bring you an eye witness report on Haiti, tonight on Washington Week. Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) said, "Let the American people decide how much money is enough. Sunshine really does work if you allow it to." Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said, "The Roberts court has turned back the clock on our democracy by over a century." In one major decision the Supreme Court rolls back decades of campaign finance limits. While political upheaval of another kind rocks the capital after Massachusetts voters picked Republican Scott Brown. Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) said, "I think they sent a very, very powerful message that business as usual is not going to be the way we do it." How much will the 41st Republican senator weaken the president’s agenda? President Barack Obama said, "It’s just nice being out of Washington. Let me say. There’re some nice people in Washington, but they can drive you crazy." And amid aftershocks and confusion, the world copes with the devastation in Haiti. Covering the week, Joan Biskupic of USA Today, John Harwood of CNBC and the New York Times, Alexis Simendinger of National Journal, and Martha Raddatz of ABC News.

In the second program, Alan Alda joins researchers studying our fellow simians -- mainly chimpanzees, our closest living relatives -- to discover both what we share with them and what new skills humans evolved since we went our separate ways. By watching -- and participating in -- experiments comparing chimps with children, he learns that human uniqueness lies in our ability to reason about things we can't observe, especially the content of others' minds, and to employ this skill in the collaborative enterprise we call civilization.

The State of the Union, divided, united, anxious, worried, or all of the above? We consider all the options tonight on Washington Week. President Barack Obama said, "We don’t quit. I don’t quit." The president’s big speech casts a spotlight on a critical political dilemma. President Obama said, "We have to recognize that we face more than a deficit of dollars right now. We face a deficit of trust." He took on Washington. President Obama said, "What frustrates the American people is a Washington where every day is Election Day." But blamed his own failings on poor communication. President Obama said, "I take my share of the blame for not explaining it more clearly to the American people." And today the president took his complaint directly to his most consistent detractors, House Republicans. Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) said, "I am one of 22 House freshmen. We didn’t create this mess, but we are here to help clean it up." So what happens now? On job creation? On health care? On bipartisanship? Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) said, "We’re going to look for common ground, but we’re not going to roll over on our principles." After a year of modest successes and setbacks, we assess the State of the Union with the reporters covering the week: Peter Baker of the New York Times, Dan Balz of the Washington Post, Gloria Borger of CNN, and John Harris of Politico.

The white gyrfalcon is enormous, the largest and most powerful falcon in the world. Yet last summer, the nesting falcon pair on the island failed to raise any young. The rare Arctic wolves rely on every member of the pack to chase and bring down the prey that keep them alive. Last year was good for them and they raised three cubs. But for the wolves and the falcons, as well as the snowy owls, musk oxen, lemmings, Arctic foxes and hares who share this fragile ecosystem with them, fortunes are always precarious.

In every encounter, the opposition must be measured, strengths must be tested, and risks must be carefully weighed. Each time, one of them will have a tactical advantage -- but which one, and when? What emerges as each remarkable scene unfolds, is the keen awareness that runs through all of Yellowstone. Elk and eagle, coyote and raven, otter and owl, every creature must assess, decide, and act.

Saving Haiti's Mothers. On the ground in Haiti, working to save the lives of mothers during childbirth. Haiti's catastrophic earthquake, in addition to leaving lives and institutions in ruin, also exacerbated a longtime lethal risk in Haiti: Dying during childbirth. Challenges in transportation, education, and quality health care contribute to Haiti having the highest maternal mortality rate in the Western Hemisphere, a national crisis even before the earthquake struck. While great strides are being made with global health issues like HIV/AIDS, maternal mortality figures worldwide have seen virtually no improvement in 20 years. Worldwide, over 500,000 women die each year during pregnancy. This week, a NOW team that had been working in Haiti during the earthquake reports on this deadly but correctable trend. They meet members of the Haitian Health Foundation (HHF), which operates a network of health agents in more than 100 villages, engaging in pre-natal visits, education, and emergency ambulance runs for pregnant women.

Saving Haiti's Mothers. On the ground in Haiti, working to save the lives of mothers during childbirth. Haiti's catastrophic earthquake, in addition to leaving lives and institutions in ruin, also exacerbated a longtime lethal risk in Haiti: Dying during childbirth. Challenges in transportation, education, and quality health care contribute to Haiti having the highest maternal mortality rate in the Western Hemisphere, a national crisis even before the earthquake struck. While great strides are being made with global health issues like HIV/AIDS, maternal mortality figures worldwide have seen virtually no improvement in 20 years. Worldwide, over 500,000 women die each year during pregnancy. This week, a NOW team that had been working in Haiti during the earthquake reports on this deadly but correctable trend. They meet members of the Haitian Health Foundation (HHF), which operates a network of health agents in more than 100 villages, engaging in pre-natal visits, education, and emergency ambulance runs for pregnant women.

Missed cues, intelligence failures, political upheaval, and health-care deal making. Welcome to a busy new year tonight on Washington Week, now in HD. President Barack Obama said, "Ultimately the buck stops with me. As president, I have a solemn responsibility to protect our nation and our people. And when the system fails, it is my responsibility." John Brennan said, "I told the president today, I let him down. I told him that I will do better and we will do better as a team." At the end of the week, one thing’s clear. There is plenty of blame to go around as officials search for explanations at the White House, in a Detroit courtroom, on Capitol Hill, and at the Central Intelligence Agency, mourning the loss of seven of its own in Afghanistan. On the domestic front, politics rules the day as leading Democrats leave the fray. Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT) said, "There are moments for each elected public official to step aside and let someone else step up. This is my moment to step aside." And health care negotiations go behind closed doors. Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) said, "Mr. President, I’m sorry to say that for first time in American history, for the first time in American history a political party has chosen to stand on the sidelines." Sen. Orrin Hatch (R- UT) said, "I don’t think we’re on the sidelines in any way, shape, or form." Partisanship hard at work. We cover the week with Peter Baker of the New York Times, Tom Gjelten of National Public Radio, James Barnes of National Journal, and Ceci Connolly of the Washington Post.

The disaster in Haiti, the challenges of the past, the present, and the future, plus, populist politics at the White House and maybe in Massachusetts, too, tonight on Washington Week. President Barack Obama said, "To the people of Haiti we say clearly and with conviction you will not be forsaken. You will not be forgotten. In this, your hour of greatest need, America stands with you." A terrible earthquake. AMB. Raymond Alcide Joseph said, "It’s a major catastrophe for Haiti." A devastating death toll. We need more people down here. Grief and uncertainty everywhere. President Bill Clinton said, "The most urgent thing we can do now is get them through the next week, eight to 10 days. We have to find the living and the dead and we have to take care of both." Can Haiti, plagued by decades of deprivation, survive? In Washington, the president talks tough to bankers paying themselves big bonuses. President Obama said, "We want our money back and we’re going to get it." But will taxpayers still pay in the end? And in Massachusetts, a potential political upset that could undo Ted Kennedy’s legacy.

Sam Cooke put the spirit of the Black church into popular music -- creating a new sound and setting into motion a chain of events that forever altered the course of popular music and race relations in America. With "You Send Me" in 1957, Cooke became the first African American artist to reach #1 on both the R&B and the pop charts. It was groundbreaking. It was also risky for this young gospel performer to alienate his fans by embracing "the devil's music" -- but he proved, with his pop/gospel hybrid, that it was, indeed, possible to win over white teenage listeners and keep his faithful church followers intact.

Sam Cooke put the spirit of the Black church into popular music -- creating a new sound and setting into motion a chain of events that forever altered the course of popular music and race relations in America. With "You Send Me" in 1957, Cooke became the first African American artist to reach #1 on both the R&B and the pop charts. It was groundbreaking. It was also risky for this young gospel performer to alienate his fans by embracing "the devil's music" -- but he proved, with his pop/gospel hybrid, that it was, indeed, possible to win over white teenage listeners and keep his faithful church followers intact.

Saving Haiti's Mothers. On the ground in Haiti, working to save the lives of mothers during childbirth. Haiti's catastrophic earthquake, in addition to leaving lives and institutions in ruin, also exacerbated a longtime lethal risk in Haiti: Dying during childbirth. Challenges in transportation, education, and quality health care contribute to Haiti having the highest maternal mortality rate in the Western Hemisphere, a national crisis even before the earthquake struck. While great strides are being made with global health issues like HIV/AIDS, maternal mortality figures worldwide have seen virtually no improvement in 20 years. Worldwide, over 500,000 women die each year during pregnancy. This week, a NOW team that had been working in Haiti during the earthquake reports on this deadly but correctable trend. They meet members of the Haitian Health Foundation (HHF), which operates a network of health agents in more than 100 villages, engaging in pre-natal visits, education, and emergency ambulance runs for pregnant women.

Missed cues, intelligence failures, political upheaval, and health-care deal making. Welcome to a busy new year tonight on Washington Week, now in HD. President Barack Obama said, "Ultimately the buck stops with me. As president, I have a solemn responsibility to protect our nation and our people. And when the system fails, it is my responsibility." John Brennan said, "I told the president today, I let him down. I told him that I will do better and we will do better as a team." At the end of the week, one thing’s clear. There is plenty of blame to go around as officials search for explanations at the White House, in a Detroit courtroom, on Capitol Hill, and at the Central Intelligence Agency, mourning the loss of seven of its own in Afghanistan. On the domestic front, politics rules the day as leading Democrats leave the fray. Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT) said, "There are moments for each elected public official to step aside and let someone else step up. This is my moment to step aside." And health care negotiations go behind closed doors. Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) said, "Mr. President, I’m sorry to say that for first time in American history, for the first time in American history a political party has chosen to stand on the sidelines." Sen. Orrin Hatch (R- UT) said, "I don’t think we’re on the sidelines in any way, shape, or form." Partisanship hard at work. We cover the week with Peter Baker of the New York Times, Tom Gjelten of National Public Radio, James Barnes of National Journal, and Ceci Connolly of the Washington Post.

Worldwide, over 500,000 women die each year during pregnancy. This week, a NOW team that had been working in Haiti during the earthquake reports on this deadly but correctable trend. They meet members of the Haitian Health Foundation (HHF), which operates a network of health agents in more than 100 villages, engaging in pre-natal visits, education, and emergency ambulance runs for pregnant women.

Democrats and the New Politics of Abortion. Has the Democratic Party abandoned support of reproductive rights?

On September 1, 1939 -- the first day of World War II in Europe -- President Franklin D. Roosevelt appealed to the warring nations to "under no circumstances undertake the bombardment from the air of civilian populations." Just six years later, British and American Allied forces had carried out a bombing campaign of unprecedented might over Germany's cities, claiming the lives of nearly half a million civilians. From International Emmy Award and Peabody Award-winning producer Zvi Dor-Ner (Israel's Next War, House of Saud) comes "The Bombing of Germany" a film that examines the defining moments of the offensive that led the U.S. across a moral divide. Weaving together interviews with WWII pilots and historians, and archival footage of the bombing and its aftermath, the film is a reminder of the dilemma imposed by war's civilian casualties, a topic that continues to resonate as America enters the eighth year of fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.

From time immemorial, Native Americans have regarded the lands now called Yellowstone and Glacier as significant and sacred. Today, nearly 30 tribal nations maintain official ties to these national parks, and many tribal leaders consider ongoing Native involvement in these areas necessary to the long-term health of America's endangered indigenous cultures. In BEFORE THERE WERE PARKS: YELLOWSTONE AND GLACIER THROUGH NATIVE EYES, narrated by N. Scott Momaday, more than a dozen of these leaders and experts from across the region offer a respectful introduction to the knowledge that tribal people here have passed down for at least the past 12,000 years. Viewers discover why Glacier and Yellowstone are so important to American Indians -- for reasons far beyond their recent status as National Parks.

This week, NOW goes to Allentown, Pennsylvania to ask: Are abortion rights now in jeopardy at the very hands of the party that has historically protected them? Among those interviewed are pro-life Democratic U.S. Representative Bart Stupak and former DNC Chairman Howard Dean.

From time immemorial, Native Americans have regarded the lands now called Yellowstone and Glacier as significant and sacred. Today, nearly 30 tribal nations maintain official ties to these national parks, and many tribal leaders consider ongoing Native involvement in these areas necessary to the long-term health of America's endangered indigenous cultures. In BEFORE THERE WERE PARKS: YELLOWSTONE AND GLACIER THROUGH NATIVE EYES, narrated by N. Scott Momaday, more than a dozen of these leaders and experts from across the region offer a respectful introduction to the knowledge that tribal people here have passed down for at least the past 12,000 years. Viewers discover why Glacier and Yellowstone are so important to American Indians -- for reasons far beyond their recent status as National Parks.

Democrats and Republicans jockey for position in Washington, while Americans at home grow increasingly disenchanted with the spectacle. We look at the fallout, tonight on Washington Week. Pres. Barack Obama said, "I understand that McConnell and Reid are out doing snow angels on the South Lawn together." Well, not exactly. Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) said, "Why are we going to talk about a bill that can’t pass?" Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said, "What we need to do is start over." Bipartisanship remains elusive on the issues of the day, including how to fix health care and how to create jobs. Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) said, "We feel that the American people need a message. The message that they need is that we’re doing something about jobs." But as Americans clearly lose patience with their government, some are lining up to capitalize on that discontent. Former Gov. Sarah Palin said, "How’s that hopey, changey stuff working out for you?" While discontent of another type roils Iran.

In collaboration with National Geographic, NOVA follows the exploits of acclaimed photojournalist James Balog and a scientific team as they deploy time-lapse cameras in risky, remote locations in the Arctic, Alaska, and the Alps. Grappling with blizzards, fickle technology, and climbs up craggy precipices, the team must anchor cameras capable of withstanding sub-zero temperatures and winds up to 170 mph. The goal of Balog's team's perilous expedition: to create a unique photo archive of melting glaciers that could provide a key to understanding their runaway behavior and their potential to drive rising sea levels. Some models now project a one-meter sea level rise over the next century, which could displace millions of people everywhere from Florida to Bangladesh and require trillions of dollars in new coastal infrastructure investments. But, alarmingly, these models don't reflect recent findings that glaciers in Greenland and Antarctica are melting at an ever-faster rate. What explains this alarming acceleration, and just how do you figure out what's happening inside a gigantic wall of ice? In this high- action scientific adventure, NOVA investigates the mystery of the mighty ice sheets that will affect the fate of coastlines around the world.

Hunting Wolves, Saving Wolves. Is the Obama Administration breaking its promise to protect endangered species? Last year the Obama Administration removed federal protection from some of the wolves that had been restored to the northern Rockies under the Endangered Species Act. The move paved the way for controversial state-regulated wolf hunts. Wolf advocates strongly oppose the administrations decision saying the three states in the region, Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming need a cohesive management plan that allows for a much larger wolf population. "It was very disappointing when Secretary Salazar in the Obama Administration, signed off on this rushed-through Bush administration delisting package for wolves," said Doug Honnold, a lawyer with Earthjustice, who is representing conservation groups challenging the government's decision. The return of the gray wolf to the northern Rockies is considered to be the most successful wildlife reintroduction project in the history of the 27 year old Endangered Species Act. In 1995 and 1996, 66 gray wolves we relocated from Canada to Yellowstone National Park and central Idaho. Today there are more than 1,600 wolves in the region. For its part the federal government says that just 300 wolves are needed for legitimate recovery in the region. "Wolves are back and there's plenty of them in plenty of places. They're never really going anywhere," said Ed Bangs, the Northern Rockies Wolf Recovery Coordinator for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. More than a dozen conversation groups have sued the Interior Department to return federal protection to the northern Rockies wolves. Some believe the result of this legal debate is a litmus test for the Obama Administration's overall approach to wildlife issues and the Endangered Species Act.

Democrats and Republicans jockey for position in Washington, while Americans at home grow increasingly disenchanted with the spectacle. We look at the fallout, tonight on Washington Week. Pres. Barack Obama said, "I understand that McConnell and Reid are out doing snow angels on the South Lawn together." Well, not exactly. Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) said, "Why are we going to talk about a bill that can’t pass?" Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said, "What we need to do is start over." Bipartisanship remains elusive on the issues of the day, including how to fix health care and how to create jobs. Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) said, "We feel that the American people need a message. The message that they need is that we’re doing something about jobs." But as Americans clearly lose patience with their government, some are lining up to capitalize on that discontent. Former Gov. Sarah Palin said, "How’s that hopey, changey stuff working out for you?" While discontent of another type roils Iran. We look at the week with the reporters covering the stories: Dan Balz of the Washington Post, Naftali Bendavid of the Wall Street Journal, Janet Hook of the Los Angeles Times, and David Sanger of the New York Times.

You want to know what really happened at the big health care summit, whether the economy is turning the corner, if your Toyota is safe? We’ll answer your questions tonight on Washington Week. Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) said, "Never have so many members of the House and Senate behaved so well for so long before so many television cameras." They did behave well, but they did not agree. Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said, "The solution to that is to put that on the shelf and to start over with a blank piece of paper." Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT) said, "The gaps in my judgment are not that great." Honest differences of opinion or rank partisanship. Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said, "Both of us during the campaign promised change in Washington." President Barack Obama said, "Let me just make this point, John, because we’re not campaigning anymore. The election’s over." Sen. McCain replied, "I’m reminded of that every day." One almost certain casualty: bipartisanship. But is there room for cross party cooperation on another key issue? The yeas are 70. The nays are 28. The Senate passes a jobs bill. And one of the world’s most powerful businessmen receives a congressional scolding. Rep. Edolphus Towns (D-NY) said, "If the Camry and the Prius were airplanes, they would be grounded." Trouble at Toyota.

Judd Gregg (R-NH) said, "No, no, no, you can’t make that type of statement with any legitimacy." Fireworks at a budget hearing? Fresh signs of broad disagreements in Washington, over spending and debt. President Barack Obama said, "We simply cannot continue to spend as it if debts just don’t have consequences." Over the balance of power and politics. Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) said, "I’m hopeful that there’ll be bipartisan negotiations. That’s part of the problem, the fact that there is--it was always 60-40, 60- 40. Over who gets to serve his or her country. Adm. Mike Mullen said, "I cannot escape being troubled by the fact that we have in place a policy which forces young men and women to lie about who they are in order to defend their fellow citizens." And over who gets prosecuted for terrorism and how. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said, "I believe it is inappropriate to give the mastermind of 9/11 full constitutional rights of an American citizen."

Is Washington broken? And if it is, who’s supposed to fix it? How an Indiana senator shook up the capital, what it means for Democrats, Republicans, and for you, tonight on Washington Week. Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN) said, "We’ve got a lot of good people in Congress, but they’re trapped in a dysfunctional system." If Congress is indeed dysfunctional, is the answer to flee? Rep. Lincoln Diaz-Balart (R-FL) said, "I will not seek a 10th term in the United States Congress this November." Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-RI) said, "My life has taken a new direction and I will not be a candidate for reelection this year." With the White House agenda on the ropes, the President searches for the bright side. Pres. Barack Obama said, "One year later, it is largely thanks to the Recovery Act that a second depression is no longer a possibility." But has the opposition finally found its voice? Mitt Romney said, "The gold medal that was won last night by American Lindsey Vonn has been stripped. Yes, it was determined that President Obama has been going downhill faster than she has." (Laughter.) As Democrats and Republicans retreat to their corners, is the middle ground forever a lost?

Over a single generation, the Web and digital media have remade nearly every aspect of modern culture, transforming the way we work, learn, and connect in ways that we're only beginning to understand. FRONTLINE producer Rachel Dretzin (Growing up Online) teams up with one of the leading thinkers of the digital age, Douglas Rushkoff (The Persuaders, Merchants of Cool), to continue to explore life on the virtual frontier. The film is the product of a unique collaboration with visitors to the Digital Nation Web site, who for the past year have been able to react to the work in progress and post their own stories online. Dretzin and her team report from the front lines of digital culture--from love affairs blossoming in virtual worlds, to the thoroughly wired classrooms of the future, to military bases where the Air Force is fighting a new form of digital warfare. Along the way, they begin to map the critical ways that technology is transforming us, and what we may be learning about ourselves in the process.

In collaboration with National Geographic, NOVA follows the exploits of acclaimed photojournalist James Balog and a scientific team as they deploy time-lapse cameras in risky, remote locations in the Arctic, Alaska, and the Alps. Grappling with blizzards, fickle technology, and climbs up craggy precipices, the team must anchor cameras capable of withstanding sub-zero temperatures and winds up to 170 mph. The goal of Balog's team's perilous expedition: to create a unique photo archive of melting glaciers that could provide a key to understanding their runaway behavior and their potential to drive rising sea levels. Some models now project a one-meter sea level rise over the next century, which could displace millions of people everywhere from Florida to Bangladesh and require trillions of dollars in new coastal infrastructure investments. But, alarmingly, these models don't reflect recent findings that glaciers in Greenland and Antarctica are melting at an ever-faster rate. What explains this alarming acceleration, and just how do you figure out what's happening inside a gigantic wall of ice? In this high- action scientific adventure, NOVA investigates the mystery of the mighty ice sheets that will affect the fate of coastlines around the world.

Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said, "The solution to that is to put that on the shelf and to start over with a blank piece of paper." Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT) said, "The gaps in my judgment are not that great." Honest differences of opinion or rank partisanship. Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said, "Both of us during the campaign promised change in Washington." President Barack Obama said, "Let me just make this point, John, because we’re not campaigning anymore. The election’s over." Sen. McCain replied, "I’m reminded of that every day." One almost certain casualty: bipartisanship. But is there room for cross party cooperation on another key issue?

On September 1, 1939 -- the first day of World War II in Europe -- President Franklin D. Roosevelt appealed to the warring nations to "under no circumstances undertake the bombardment from the air of civilian populations." Just six years later, British and American Allied forces had carried out a bombing campaign of unprecedented might over Germany's cities, claiming the lives of nearly half a million civilians. From International Emmy Award and Peabody Award-winning producer Zvi Dor-Ner (Israel's Next War, House of Saud) comes "The Bombing of Germany" a film that examines the defining moments of the offensive that led the U.S. across a moral divide. Weaving together interviews with WWII pilots and historians, and archival footage of the bombing and its aftermath, the film is a reminder of the dilemma imposed by war's civilian casualties, a topic that continues to resonate as America enters the eighth year of fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.

That’s part of the problem, the fact that there is--it was always 60-40, 60- 40. Over who gets to serve his or her country. Adm. Mike Mullen said, "I cannot escape being troubled by the fact that we have in place a policy which forces young men and women to lie about who they are in order to defend their fellow citizens." And over who gets prosecuted for terrorism and how. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said, "I believe it is inappropriate to give the mastermind of 9/11 full constitutional rights of an American citizen."

Fans of health care overhaul in history. We'll tell you how it happened, what’s in it, and why the fight’s still not over, tonight on Washington Week. President Barack Obama said, "Today, after almost a century of trying, today, after over a year of debate, today, after all the votes have been tallied, health insurance reform becomes law in the United States of America." It was a fight to the finish complete with sore losers and astonished winners. Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) said, " Hell no, you can’t." Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN) said, "We will work in every way to repeal this legislation and start over." Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said, "I believe that this is what we came here to do." Changes to Medicare, extended coverage for young adults and the uninsured and for prescription drugs, plus a nearly billion dollar price tag. Also this week, big developments with old allies and former enemies, as tensions build between the U.S. and Israel over a settlement freeze. Sec. Hillary Clinton said, "It exposes daylight between Israel and the United States that others in the region hope to exploit." And the U.S. agrees to a nuclear deal with Russia.

Every 48 years, the inhabitants of the remote Indian state of Mizoram suffer a horrendous ordeal known locally as mautam. An indigenous species of bamboo, blanketing 30 percent of Mizoram's 8,100 square miles, blooms once every half-century, spurring an explosion in the rat population which feeds off the bamboo's fruit. The rats run amok, destroying crops and precipitating a crippling famine throughout Mizoram. NOVA follows this gripping tale of nature's capacity to engender human suffering, and investigates the botanical mystery of why the bamboo flowers and why the rats attack with clockwork precision every half-century.

"Objects and Memory" examines the response to items recovered or offered after 9/11 and other national tragedies. The film uses objects and accounts of people whose lives were affected, interviews with historians and poignant, powerful photographic images. Why do people value objects? What is it about a piece of paper, a chunk of metal or a small coin that provokes such powerful memories? Without the objects, the stories would lack vibrancy; without the stories, the objects would lack significance. Taken together, images of these objects, the memories they evoke and the accounts of their collection lead viewers on a path where the commonplace is transformed into the remarkable and the stuff of history is highly personalized. The program, set to the music of Philip Glass, is narrated by Frank Langella.

The colonists had left behind only one clue: the word Croatan carved in the gatepost of their fort. It took 20 years for the stunned English to establish another settlement in America. The fate of the Roanoke colonists remains one of the most chilling and maddening questions of American history. TIME TEAM AMERICA spends three days at Fort Raleigh in hot pursuit of archaeological evidence that will put the ghost of Roanoke to rest, and establish where the first colony in America was actually located.

It was hailed by the New York Times as "surgery of the soul," a groundbreaking medical procedure that promised hope to the most distressed mentally ill patients and their families. But what began as an operation of last resort was soon being performed at some fifty state asylums, often to devastating results. Little more than a decade after his rise to fame, Walter Freeman, the neurologist who championed the procedure, was decried as a moral monster, and lobotomy one of the most barbaric mistakes of modern medicine.

From award-winning producers Barak Goodman and John Maggio (The Boy in the Bubble, The Fight), this one-hour film features interviews with Dr. Freeman's former patients and their families, his students, and medical historians, and offers an unprecedented look at one of the darkest chapters in psychiatric history.

John James Audubon - whose name became synonymous with American conservation - killed thousands of birds during his quest to create Birds of America, arguably the largest and most beautiful book of the 19th century. Audubon was at once entrepreneur, artist, scientist, husband, father, legend - and walking contradiction. Born in what is now Haiti, the illegitimate son of a French plantation owner and his mistress, Audubon ultimately became the quintessential American pioneer. On the frontier, he played the debonair European. In the drawing rooms of Europe, he acted the part of wild woodsman. Although faithful to his long-suffering wife, he nonetheless wrote her lengthy letters bursting with details of his encounters with other women. Jailed once for bankruptcy, he went on to dine at the White House. The self- taught artist and self-made man was praised by royalty, shunned by his in- laws and blackballed by the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences. AMERICAN MASTERS "John James Audubon: Drawn From Nature," details Audubon's epic adventures while capturing the full-scale beauty of his definitive book.

"Gasland." Will the boom in natural gas drilling contaminate America's water supply? In the debate over energy resources, natural gas is often considered a "lesser-of-evils". While it does release some greenhouse gases, natural gas burns cleaner than coal and oil, and is in plentiful supply--parts of the U.S. sit above some of the largest natural gas reserves on Earth. But a new boom in natural gas drilling, a process called "fracking," raises concerns about health and environmental risks. This week, NOW talks with filmmaker Josh Fox about "Gasland", his Sundance award-winning documentary on the surprising consequences of natural gas drilling. Fox's film--inspired when the gas company came to his hometown--alleges chronic illness, animal-killing toxic waste, disastrous explosions, and regulatory missteps.

On Thin Ice. Two men on a remarkable journey high in the Himalayas investigate threats to global water and food supply. Seventy-five percent of the world's fresh water is stored in glaciers, but scientists predict climate change will cause some of the world's largest glaciers to completely melt by 2030. What effect will this have on our daily lives, especially our water and food supply? With global warming falling low on a national list of American concerns, it's time to take a deeper look at what could be a global calamity in the making. This week, David Brancaccio and environmentalist Conrad Anker- -one of the world's leading high altitude climbers--trek to the Gangotri Glacier in the Himalayan Mountains, the source of the Ganges River, to witness the great melt and its dire consequences first-hand. The two also visit Montana's Glacier National Park to see the striking effects of global warming closer to home and learn how melting glaciers across the world can have a direct impact on food prices in the U.S. Along the way, Brancaccio and Anker bathe in the River Ganges, view a water shortage calamity in India, and see with their own eyes and cameras the tangible costs of climate change. "We can't take climate change and put it on the back burner," warns Anker. "If we don't address climate change, we won't be around as humans."

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

Know Thyself Episode Four takes up the search for the guests’ ancestries where the historical record leaves off and links their distinctive family histories to the broader history of the family of man. Combining the documented stories of some of the guests’ last known ancestors with DNA evidence, the series travel backward through time to reveal both distant relatives and surprising shared ancestral connections. Elizabeth Alexander learns that she is a direct descendent of Charlemagne, and that her paternal roots are not only European, but Jewish. Meryl Streep and Mike Nichols discover that they are distant cousins, as do Yo-Yo Ma and Eva Longoria. Interwoven with these stories and others is the journey of the host, Henry Louis Gates, Jr. as he and his father and brother undertake an historic project to have their entire genomes mapped, and thereby to learn everything they possibly can about their own family.

"Gasland." Will the boom in natural gas drilling contaminate America's water supply? In the debate over energy resources, natural gas is often considered a "lesser-of-evils". While it does release some greenhouse gases, natural gas burns cleaner than coal and oil, and is in plentiful supply--parts of the U.S. sit above some of the largest natural gas reserves on Earth. But a new boom in natural gas drilling, a process called "fracking," raises concerns about health and environmental risks. This week, NOW talks with filmmaker Josh Fox about "Gasland", his Sundance award-winning documentary on the surprising consequences of natural gas drilling. Fox's film--inspired when the gas company came to his hometown--alleges chronic illness, animal-killing toxic waste, disastrous explosions, and regulatory missteps.

In the animal world females often call the shots. But their decisions may be surprising. 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.

On Thin Ice. Two men on a remarkable journey high in the Himalayas investigate threats to global water and food supply. Seventy-five percent of the world's fresh water is stored in glaciers, but scientists predict climate change will cause some of the world's largest glaciers to completely melt by 2030. What effect will this have on our daily lives, especially our water and food supply? With global warming falling low on a national list of American concerns, it's time to take a deeper look at what could be a global calamity in the making. This week, David Brancaccio and environmentalist Conrad Anker- -one of the world's leading high altitude climbers--trek to the Gangotri Glacier in the Himalayan Mountains, the source of the Ganges River, to witness the great melt and its dire consequences first-hand. The two also visit Montana's Glacier National Park to see the striking effects of global warming closer to home and learn how melting glaciers across the world can have a direct impact on food prices in the U.S. Along the way, Brancaccio and Anker bathe in the River Ganges, view a water shortage calamity in India, and see with their own eyes and cameras the tangible costs of climate change. "We can't take climate change and put it on the back burner," warns Anker. "If we don't address climate change, we won't be around as humans."

An indigenous species of bamboo, blanketing 30 percent of Mizoram's 8,100 square miles, blooms once every half-century, spurring an explosion in the rat population which feeds off the bamboo's fruit. The rats run amok, destroying crops and precipitating a crippling famine throughout Mizoram. NOVA follows this gripping tale of nature's capacity to engender human suffering, and investigates the botanical mystery of why the bamboo flowers and why the rats attack with clockwork precision every half-century.

"Gasland." Will the boom in natural gas drilling contaminate America's water supply? In the debate over energy resources, natural gas is often considered a "lesser-of-evils". While it does release some greenhouse gases, natural gas burns cleaner than coal and oil, and is in plentiful supply--parts of the U.S. sit above some of the largest natural gas reserves on Earth. But a new boom in natural gas drilling, a process called "fracking," raises concerns about health and environmental risks. This week, NOW talks with filmmaker Josh Fox about "Gasland", his Sundance award-winning documentary on the surprising consequences of natural gas drilling. Fox's film--inspired when the gas company came to his hometown--alleges chronic illness, animal-killing toxic waste, disastrous explosions, and regulatory missteps.

Know Thyself Episode Four takes up the search for the guests’ ancestries where the historical record leaves off and links their distinctive family histories to the broader history of the family of man. Combining the documented stories of some of the guests’ last known ancestors with DNA evidence, the series travel backward through time to reveal both distant relatives and surprising shared ancestral connections. Elizabeth Alexander learns that she is a direct descendent of Charlemagne, and that her paternal roots are not only European, but Jewish. Meryl Streep and Mike Nichols discover that they are distant cousins, as do Yo-Yo Ma and Eva Longoria. Interwoven with these stories and others is the journey of the host, Henry Louis Gates, Jr. as he and his father and brother undertake an historic project to have their entire genomes mapped, and thereby to learn everything they possibly can about their own family. This episode offers a compelling and thought-provoking meditation on the importance of ancestry, the meaning of family and the role of both in creating identity.

Do we have the right to end our lives if life itself becomes unbearable, or when we enter the late-stages of painful, terminal illness? The questions, debated for centuries, have only grown more pressing in recent years as medical technology has allowed us to live longer lives, and several U.S. states have legalized physician-assisted suicide.

It was hailed by the New York Times as "surgery of the soul," a groundbreaking medical procedure that promised hope to the most distressed mentally ill patients and their families. But what began as an operation of last resort was soon being performed at some fifty state asylums, often to devastating results. Little more than a decade after his rise to fame, Walter Freeman, the neurologist who championed the procedure, was decried as a moral monster, and lobotomy one of the most barbaric mistakes of modern medicine. American Experience presents "The Lobotomist," the gripping and tragic story of an ambitious doctor, the desperate families who sought his help, and the medical establishment that embraced him. From award-winning producers Barak Goodman and John Maggio (The Boy in the Bubble, The Fight), this one-hour film features interviews with Dr. Freeman's former patients and their families, his students, and medical historians, and offers an unprecedented look at one of the darkest chapters in psychiatric history.

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again. This weekend, this very weekend, we’ll be the turning point on health care. We’ll tell you why we might actually be right this time, tonight on Washington Week. President Barack Obama said, "We keep on going. We are going to get this done." The president is revved up. He also said, "The time for reform is right now, not a year from now, not five years from, not 10 years from now, not 20 years from. It’s now. And in just a few days, a century-long struggle will culminate in a historic vote." But Republicans say the fight will continue to November. Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) said, "The American people do not want any part of this. And if anyone thinks the American people are going to forget this vote, just watch." Yet, one way or another, Congress is poised to act with some noes slowly turning to yes. Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) said, "I've decided to cast a vote in favor of the legislation." Rep. John Boccieri (D-OH) said, "Yes, I will be voting yes for the bill." Between now and Sunday, every arm will have been twisted, every possible dollar spent, and every rule invoked in a debate that spilled into the streets. Richard Ledford, small business owner: "It's not perfect, but it’s a good step forward in reform efforts." Perette Godwin, opposes health care reform bill: "Healthcare now, let’s pass a bill. I think the wrong decisions are being made. I think we’re going the wrong direction."

So, when the American Museum of Natural History's Hayden Planetarium stopped calling Pluto a planet, director Neil deGrasse Tyson found himself at the center of a firestorm--a firestorm led by angry, Pluto- loving elementary school students. But what is it about this cold, distant rock that captures so many hearts? NOVA joins Tyson as he follows the amazing story of its discovery and the captivating science that surrounds this former planet, including the possibility of finding more Pluto-like planets in the mysterious Kuiper belt-an area of icy rocks at the edge of the solar system. From the scientists trying to classify Pluto to die-hard "Pluto-philes," Tyson meets a fascinating cast of characters with just one thing in common: strong opinions about Pluto. Based on Tyson's book of the same name, Pluto Files is an exciting and entertaining look at the solar system's best-loved non-planet.

On Thin Ice. Two men on a remarkable journey high in the Himalayas investigate threats to global water and food supply. Seventy-five percent of the world's fresh water is stored in glaciers, but scientists predict climate change will cause some of the world's largest glaciers to completely melt by 2030. What effect will this have on our daily lives, especially our water and food supply? With global warming falling low on a national list of American concerns, it's time to take a deeper look at what could be a global calamity in the making. This week, David Brancaccio and environmentalist Conrad Anker- -one of the world's leading high altitude climbers--trek to the Gangotri Glacier in the Himalayan Mountains, the source of the Ganges River, to witness the great melt and its dire consequences first-hand. The two also visit Montana's Glacier National Park to see the striking effects of global warming closer to home and learn how melting glaciers across the world can have a direct impact on food prices in the U.S. Along the way, Brancaccio and Anker bathe in the River Ganges, view a water shortage calamity in India, and see with their own eyes and cameras the tangible costs of climate change. "We can't take climate change and put it on the back burner," warns Anker. "If we don't address climate change, we won't be around as humans."

"Objects and Memory" examines the response to items recovered or offered after 9/11 and other national tragedies. The film uses objects and accounts of people whose lives were affected, interviews with historians and poignant, powerful photographic images. Why do people value objects? What is it about a piece of paper, a chunk of metal or a small coin that provokes such powerful memories? Without the objects, the stories would lack vibrancy; without the stories, the objects would lack significance. Taken together, images of these objects, the memories they evoke and the accounts of their collection lead viewers on a path where the commonplace is transformed into the remarkable and the stuff of history is highly personalized. The program, set to the music of Philip Glass, is narrated by Frank Langella.
