HOUR ONE
================================================================
Billboard :59 / News 2:59 / News 1:59 / Theme Music :29
----------------------------------------------------------------
1. KOREAS -- NPR's Eric Weiner reports from Seoul, Korea, that
the leaders of South and North Korea kicked off a historic three
day summit today, 50-years after the start of the war that
divided their land. South Korea's Kim Dae Jung (kim day zhuhng)
was given a lavish welcome when he flew to Pyongyang. He was
greeted personally by North Korea's enigmatic leader, Kim Jong
II (kihm zhahng ihl). (4:00)
2. KOREA PROFILE -- Robert talks with Donald Gregg, head of the
Korea Society, and former U-S Ambassador to South Korea (1989-
1993), about the leaders of North and South Korea. (4:30)
3. POPE'S ATTACKER -- NPR's Sylvia Poggioli reports from Rome
that the Italian government has pardoned Mehmet Ali Agca (MEH-
meht AH-lee AH-jah), the Turkish gunman who shot Pope John Paul
in 1981. Agca, who had been serving a life sentence in Italy,
will be transferred to a prison in Turkey. He'll serve time
there for the 1978 murder of a Turkish journalist. The Pope has
repeatedly said he forgives Agca, and once visited Agca in
prison. (3:30)

4. CLASSICAL MUSIC ON THE NET -- The American Federation of
Musicians has reached a tentative agreement with sixty-six
orchestras over how to compensate classical performers when
their work is streamed or downloaded off the Internet. The
agreement still has to be ratified by the rank and file. But it
signals new flexibility on the part of classical musicians over
how much -- or even if -- they will be paid for work that
appears on the Net. It brings orchestras to the place pop
musicians have been inhabiting for years. Still, the limitations
of current technology mean real interest in Mahler on the
Internet will be minimal for the immediate future. NPR's Rick
Karr reports. (3:30)
5. GLOBAL WARMING - NY -- Commentator Richard Goldstein offers
some humorous reflection on a government report that indicates
at the current rate of global warming, New York City could
become an average of 10-degrees hotter over the next century
than it is now. (4:00)

6. SENATE RACE - DELAWARE -- NPR's Ron Elving reports on this
year's crucial Senate race in Delaware, pitting five-term
Republican incumbent William Roth, chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee, and Tom Carper, the state's governor. With
both men extremely popular, the race could be decided on the age
issue: Roth turns 79 next month, while Carper is a young 53.
(10:15)
7. NADER STUMP SPEECH -- The show is running an excerpt from a
Ralph Nader campaign event that occurred on June 8, 2000 in
Missoula, Montana. Nader, a longtime consumer advocate, is
expected to receive the Green Party's presidential nomination at
its convention later this month in Denver. (2:15)

8. LONDON MILLENNIUM BRIDGE -- NPR's Julie McCarthy reports that
a gleaming new footbridge over the Thames River has been shut
down because of safety concerns. At the ribbon-cutting last
month, architecture critics gave rave reviews to the Millennium
Bridge linking north and south London. But when the bridge
opened to the public this past weekend, pedestrians complained
it swayed and wobbled in the wind so much they felt seasick.
(4:30)
9. DAVID'S EYES -- Noah talks to Marc Levoy, a computer
scientist at Stanford University, who spent a year scanning
Michaelangelo sculptures in Italy. He discovered that the eyes
in the famous David sculpture are looking in two different
directions. He says Michaelangelo used this "trick," so David
could have a typical Roman profile from one perspective. (3:00)

----------------------------------------------------------------
10. MISSING NUCLEAR DATA -- NPR's Brian Naylor reports on
today's congressional hearing into the disappearance of nuclear
weapons data from Los Alamos. Testifying before the House
Commerce Committee, Energy Department security chief Eugene
Habiger said that the missing computer hard drives were probably
not stolen, just misplaced. But some Republicans expressed
exasperation over the latest snafu over nuclear weapon secrets
at Los Alamos. (3:30)
11. LOS ALAMOS INVESTIGATION -- NPR's Barbara Bradley reports on
what the FBI and other investigators think may have been in the
missing documents, and the ramifications of their loss. (4:30)
12. SECURITY PRACTICES -- Noah talks with John R. Gustafson,
Director of the Public Affairs Office of Los Alamos National
Laboratory, about security procedures at the lab. Gustafson says
the missing hard drives were moved from the facility because of
the recent wildfire in the area. After the fire, the employees
were unable to locate them. (4:00)

13. RESTRAINING ORDERS -- More school students are going to
court to obtain restraining orders against other students. Some
schools and judges say courts have no business in the area of
student safety. But parents of students who've faced serious
bullying - even death threats - from their classmates - say they
have no choice. NPR's Tovia Smith reports. (7:30)

14. ASSAD FUNERAL -- NPR's Jennifer Ludden reports Syrian
President Hafez Assad was buried today as Syria grieved for a
leader whose unyielding brand of Arab nationalism won him the
respect of friend and foe alike. Men wept and fought to kiss
Assad's coffin inside a lavish mosque. Assad's son and apparent
successor, Bashar, stood stoically by his flag draped coffin.
(4:30)
15. SYRIAN VIEW -- Robert talks to Sadik Al-Azm (SAH-dihk ahl-
AH-zuhm), a professor at Damascus University in Syria, about the
Assad funeral. (4:00)
16. ISRAEL POLITICS -- NPR's Linda Gradstein reports Israel's
ultra-Orthodox Shas (SHAHS) party says it will leave Prime
Minister Ehud Barak's coalition government over its refusal to
give Shas money for its scandal-ridden school system. If the
party carries out its decision, it would mean the end of Barak's
11-month-old coalition government. But the party has backed down
from such threats before.

17. AL GORE ON THE ROAD -- Vice President Al Gore launched a
three week "progress and prosperity tour" in New York City
today. With former Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin at his side,
Gore touted the nation's strong economy and the federal
government's balanced budget. NPR's Anthony Brooks reports.
(4:00)
18. THE BOSS AND THE COPS -- NPR's Melissa Block reports on the
controversy over Bruce Springsteen's new song that aludes to the
police shooting of African immigrant Amadou Diallo (AH-mah-doo
dee-AH-loh). The song is called "American Skin." New York City's
police union leaders are irked over the song's lyrics -- quote -
- "You can get killed just for living in your American skin."
