Newscasters: Korva Coleman, Ann Taylor and Corey Flintoff
[=============FIRST HOUR============]
[1.] [THE DAY'S EVENTS] -- Robert and Noah have an overview of today's events
at the U-S Senate, where impeachment trial proceedings against President
Clinton were begun. We'll hear excerpts of tape from various events of the day.
(8:00)
[2.] [CALLOUTS #1] -- Noah talks with several people about the Senate trial of
President Clinton. He speaks with Dubra Lazard (DOO-bruh luh-ZARD), who works
with a public school advocacy group in Chicago, Illinois. She is surprised that
the issue went to the Senate, and is disappointed at the partisanship of the
proceedings. She is optimistic that the Senate trial will NOT find the
President guilty and that he will ride out his difficulties. Then, Noah talks
with Bill Murphy, a junior at the State University of New York at Stony Brook.
Murphy aggrees with the Republicans that the impeachment has to proceed
according to Constitutional guidelines. He thinks that the impeachment process
in the House of Representatives was a sham, running only along party lines, but
thinks that a Senate trial will be good for the country in the long run.
(4:00)
[3.]
[CALLOUTS #2]
Noah continues his conversations with listeners from
around the country concerning the Senate trial of President Clinton. He talks
with Susie Hanson, a teacher, community volunteer, and mother of two teenagers
from Walnut Creek, California. She believes that the impeachment process has
gone on too long, but is hopeful that the Senate trial will be more substantial
and less a media circus than the process was in the House of Representatives.
She believes there will be less political grandstanding in this phase of the
proceedings. Finally, Noah talks with Hal Stevenson, who owns a communications
company in Columbia, South Carolina. Stevenson identifies himself as a
conservative Christian, and talks about his pain at the partisan tone of the
impeachment process. He says that an impeachment trial is necessary, even if
it's a long one, in order to restore honor to the office of the Presidency and
to do what's right for the country. (5:00)
[4.] [LETTERS] -- Noah and Robert read from listeners' comments. To contact All
Things Considered, write to All Things Considered Letters, 635 Massachusetts

[5.]
[NBA OWNERS' VOTE]
NPR's Tom Goldman reports that the NBA owners have
given unanimous approval to a settlement ending the 191-day lockout. An
abbreviated 52 game schedule will begin in early February. The deal won't go
into effect until it is put it writing and signed by both the players and the
owners...a move that is expected in about ten days. (3:30)
[6.] [MORE ON THE NBA] -- Robert talks with former professional basketball
player and NBA Hall-of-Famer Oscar Robertson. Robertson played professionally
for 14 years. They discuss Robertson's opinions on the pros and cons of the new
NBA labor agreement, and the stresses that players find themselves coping with
in a professional league. (4:30)
[7.]
[BENEFITS OF FIDGETING]
Richard Harris reports on a new study
that may explain why some people can eat a lot and not gain weight. The study,
from the Mayo Clinic, suggests that people who fidget and move around a lot
during the day burn off significant numbers of calories. But researchers say
it's probably not realistic to think that people who are overweight can simply
fidget the fat away. (4:00)
[8.] [MILL TOWN'S MONET] - The down-at-the-heels former textile town of
Lawrence, Massachussetts, owns a Monet...and a Pissarro...and 15 other
Impressionist paintings valued at 5 to 8 million dollars. The charitable trust
to whom the works were left by a turn-of-the-century minister wants to sell
them to benefit arts education programs in the public schools. The Boston
Museum of Fine Arts, where the paintings have been held for safe keeping, has
filed suit to prevent an auction - saying it would violate the minister's will.
Pippin Ross reports. (7:45)
[===============SECOND HOUR==============]
[9.] [TODAY IN THE SENATE] -- NPR's Peter Kenyon reports that the impeachment
trial of President Clinton began in the Senate today, with solemn ceremonies.
The House impeachment managers presented the Senate with the articles of
impeachment. The Chief Justice of the United States William Rehnquist was
sworn-in to preside over the trial. Then he administered the oath to the
Senators, who swore to do "impartial justice" as the jurors. (4:30)
[10.] [AND AT THE WHITE HOUSE] -- NPR's Mara Liasson reports that President
Clinton continued to go about his daily routine even as the Senate opened up
the second presidential impeachment trial in U.S. history. The president
attended an education-related event and worked on his upcoming budget. But
aides at the White House are closely watching developments in the Senate as
members try to figure out how they will proceed with the trial. (3:30)
[11.] [US-IRAQ] -- NPR's Ted Clark reports on how the U-S is responding to
continual challenges from Iraq's leader Saddam Hussein. A U-S F-16 fired a
missile at an Iraq air-defense station in the "no-fly zone" of northern Iraq
today, the fourth violent confrontation in the last few weeks, Some analysts
say that Saddam Hussein has a determined course of action and that the U-S has
no coherent policy for dealing with it. Others say the U-S does have a firm
policy, one of containment, and that it is working. (4:00)
[12.]
[SEXUAL HARASSMENT] --
NPR's Cheryl Corley reports that the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission says another big auto firm-- the Ford Motor
Company -- has condoned widespread sexual harassment at two of its plants in
Illinois. The charges are reminiscent of a lawsuit filed against the Mitsubishi
Motors plant in Illinois, which led to a record $34 million dollar out of court
settlement last year.
Ford officials say there is zero tolerance for sexual
harassment at its facilities. (3:30)
[14.] [COLOMBIA] -- Robert talks with Quil Lawrence in San Vicente del Caguan
(cah-GWAHN), Colombia, where the government and leftist rebels resumed peace
talks today after a six-year hiatus. The negotiations got off to a rocky start,
however, when the top rebel leader failed to show up for the opening ceremony,
which was attended by President Andres Pastrana. San Vicente is in a large
region from which the government had withdrawn its troops to facilitate the
resumption of talks. (3:30)
[15.] [US-CUBA] -- NPR's Tom Gjelten reports on the debate over the importance
of President Clinton's announcement this week that he will ease the U-S embargo
against Cuba. Some consider the move the most significant in years, while
others feel it amounts to nothing more than tinkering at the margins of U-S
policy. The answer may lie in the details of the president's initiative. For
example, by permitting the direct sale of food to semi-independent farmers'
cooperatives, Mr. Clinton has agreed to support organizations which some feel
are too closely linked to the Castro regime. (4:30)
[16.]
[FCC CHAIRMAN] -
NPR's Larry Abramson reports that the Federal
Communications Commission loses its control over cable TV rates at the end of
March. Consumer groups say cable rates still need government regulation, and
FCC chairman Bill Kennard conceded today that the commission probably let
companies raise rates too much for programming and other costs.
Kennard says the FCC has the promotion of more competition for cable companies
on its agenda this year. (4:30)
[17.] [AROUND TOWN] -- NPR's Neal Conan visited the U.S. Capitol this morning
as articles of impeachment were presented in the Senate. He talked with
Republican Congressman Vernon Ehlers of Michigan and with vistors waiting to
enter the Senate Gallery. Also today in Washington, members of the American
Historical Association met for their annual convention. They spoke with Neal
about the history of presidential impeachment proceedings. (7:30)
