Special Programming: Early Signs - Reports from a Warming Planet
The early signs of climate change are showing up across vastly differing landscapes: from melting outposts near the Arctic Circle to disappearing glaciers high in the Andes; from the rising water in the deltas of Bangladesh to the "sinking" atolls of the Pacific. "Reports from a Warming Planet" takes you to parts of the planet where global warming is already making changes to life and landscape, and demonstrates how climate change is no longer restricted to scientific modeling about the future. It's happening now.

HearSay Classic: A Time To Kill?
Two-thirds of Americans support the death penalty for people convicted of murder, but developments in DNA technology and high-profile news stories about wrongful executions have sparked new debate over the public policy issue. In Virginia, capital punishment took center stage in the last Gubernatorial race. We'll examine the politics of death on today's HearSay with guests Deborah Denno, Arthur A. McGivney Professor of Law at Fordham University, Richard Dieter, Executive Director of the Death Penalty Information Center and Attorney Nash Bilisoly.
