"MORNING EDITION" PROGRAM RUNDOWN
AMERICA'S HOST: Bob Edwards
NEWS I/II: Carl Kasell
NEWS III: Doreen McCallister
Hour One
~~~~~~~~~~~~
[A-1]
Host Bob Edwards talks to Sarah Chayes (f) in Rambouillet, (rahm-boo-YAY),
France, about the U-S mediated negotiations between Serbs and Albanians over
the future of Yugoslavia's Kosovo province. There seems to be little chance
that an agreement will be reached before today's 9 a.m. Eastern time deadline.
(3:31)
N-P-R's Wade Goodwyn reports from Jasper, Texas, that closing statements will
be made today in the murder trial of John William King, a white supremacist
who's accused of killing James Byrd, Jr. It took less than an hour yesterday
for King's attorneys to present his defense. Only three witnesses took the
stand. (4:43)
[B-1] N-P-R's Mary Kay Magistad reports the Chinese government is shutting down
its failing banks for the first time in half a century. The Chinese people's
high savings rates have masked some of the banking industry's problems -- at
least 25 percent of the state's loans are poor performers. (5:40)
Jana Wilkinson (f) reports from the Interpol heroin summit in Yangon, Myanmar
(Burma). Some Western nations, including the U-S, are boycotting the
conference due to what they say is Burma's persistent disregard for political
and human rights, and inadequate anti-narcotics efforts.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
[C-1] Pat Blank of member station K-U-N-I reports from Cedar Falls, Iowa, that
farmers are disappointed with a decision by the U-S Supreme Court that
effectively overturns Iowa's `right to farm' law. Yesterday, the Supreme Court
announced it will not review a ruling by the Iowa Supreme Court which struck
down the law. The `right to farm' law was designed to protect farmers against
public nuisance lawsuits brought by their non-farming rural neighbors. (3:30)
[D-1] N-P-R's Peter Overby reports that the campaign finance law has suffered
severe damage in recent years as fundraising scandals, judicial rulings and
creative interpretations have chipped away at its effectiveness. (5:51)
N-P-R's Special Correspondent Susan Stamberg reports on two new Impressionist
exhibits opening today at Atlanta's High Museum of Art. One show presents
sixty works from European museums. The other explores the artistic
collaboration between Impressionist Claude Monet and his friend Bazille
[buh-ZEEL]. (2:49)
~~~~~~~~~~~~
[E-1] N-P-R's Jack Speer has this morning's business report. This segment will
be updated throughout the morning.
N-P-R's Elaine Korry reports that Levi Strauss has announced plans to close
half of its 22 production plants in North America, citing high production costs
and declining market share. Nearly 6,000 workers will lose their jobs. (3:33)
Hour Two
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[A-2] N-P-R's David Welna reports on school overcrowding in Chicago, a major
issue for Chicago voters as they go to the polls Tuesday. The Clinton
administration is proposing direct subsidies for new school construction around
the nation. Experts say Congress is likely to approve federal funding for the
plan this year. (4:42)
Commentator Matt Miller says the gigantic defense budget has more to do with
the politics of image than real military need. (3:41)
[B-2] N-P-R's Jennifer Ludden reports on the difficulties of being part of
Turkey's Kurdish minority. Even those Kurds who do not embrace the militancy
of Abdullah Ocalan find themselves rebuffed by the Turkish majority when they
try to assert their cultural identity. (7:11)
[C-2] N-P-R's Michele Kelemen visits a soft drink bottling plant south of
Moscow whose owner is trying to increase the market share of his cola brand.
`Spartak' (SHPARR-tock) Cola is named after Russia's most popular soccer team,
and owner Valery Ivanov (vuh-LAIR-ee.ee-VAH-noff) says part of his profits will
go toward building a new stadium for the team. (3:20)
[D-2] N-P-R's Wendy Kaufman reports on the unusually high number of women in
the Washington state house. More than forty percent of Washington's
legislators are women. (7:55)
[E-2] Bill Marx (f) reports on author Don DeLillo's latest play, "Valparaiso,"
premiering at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The
play explores the connection between ever more pervasive technology and the
loss of individual privacy. (6:38)

DEADLY FORCE AND RACE
GUESTS: BOB STEWART
*Executive Director of the National Association of Black Law
Enforcement Executives (NOBLE), Alexandria, VA
*Former Chief of Police, Ormond Beach, FL
*Retired in 1991 as captain after 22 years of service in the
Washington, DC Metropolitan Police Dept.

*Director of Geller & Associates in Wilmette, IL (offers

departments and governments on humane policing)
*Author, _Police Violence: Understanding & Controlling Police
Abuse of the Force_ [Yale University Press, 1996]
Amadou Diallo, an immigrant from West Africa, was killed in the Bronx by four
police officers in a barrage of forty-one shots early this month. He was
unarmed and had no criminal record.
Some civil rights groups have asserted that this incident is symptomatic of a
larger problem-- police using deadly
force disproportionately against minorities. How can police departments win
the trust of minority communities?
Join Ray Suarez and guests for a look
inside police culture and a discussion of ways training programs can help
police departments avoid tragedies like Diallo's death...on the next "Talk of
the Nation" from NPR News.

Coleman African Studies Center at the University of

*Author, _Revolutionary Ethiopia: From Empire to People's
Republic_ [Indiana University Press, 1988]
Western countries have commended the East African nations of Eritrea and
Ethiopia for their progressive vision and promising economies. Yet both
countries are warring over a strip of barren land and many worry the fighting
could spread to heavily populated regions. Despite the efforts of envoys from
the Organization of African Unity and the United States the fighting has
recently itensified. Join Ray Suarez and guests for an examination of the
war between Ethiopia and Eritrea...on the next Talk of the Nation from NPR
News.
