1. CLAES RESIGNS -- NPR's Andy Bowers reports that NATO Secretary General

unusually tight and traffic impossible in New York for the next six days as the
largest gathering of world leaders in history gets underway to celebrate the
United Nations' 50th anniversary. With Yassar Arafat and Fidel Castro among the
guestts, police, the secret service, State Department and other officials are
preparing for high risk motorcades, more than fifty demonstrations and what is
already being described as a logistical nightmare.(3:30)
BASEBALL CLEVELAND -- Robert Siegel speaks with Morris Eckhouse, executive
director of the Society for American baseball research in Cleveland, about the
mood of the city as the Cleveland Indians head toward the world series.(5:00)
5.MY TEAM -- Commentator Mickey Edwards puts aside thoughts on
Congressional and presidential politics to revel in the Cleveland Indians'
berth in the World Series.(2:30)
6. WIDOWEE VERDICT -- In Montgomery, Alabama today a jury has found the son
of black activists not guilty of burning down the local high school last
August. The school in Widowee, Alabama was the focus of a racial dispute when
the white principal threatened to cancel the junior prom over interracial
dating. Noah speaks with reporter Debbie Elliott.(4:00)
7. NUNS & PRIESTS TARGETED IN CHIAPAS -- NPR's David Welna reports that the
Mexican government has expelled a number of foreign priests--including two
Americans--working in the troubled southern state of Chiapas. Others, among
them two American nuns, have been told they must leave as well. The authorities
say they expelled the clergy because of technicalities in Mexico's immigration
law. The priests and nuns contend that it's because they try to improve life
for the poor Indians living in Chiapas--something supported by the leftist
Zapatista rebels.(8:00)
8. ENGINEERS OF DREAMS -- Robert talks with Henry Petroski (peh-TRAW-skee),
author of "Engineers of Dreams: Great Bridge Builders and the Spanning of
America," about the history of bridge design and bridge building in America.
According to Petroski, the golden age of bridge building started in the late
1800s, at the same time railroads were being built at a rapid pace.(8:00)
SECOND HOUR
9. CLINTON AND GAYS AT WORK -- NPR's Phillip Davis reports that President
Clinton is supporting legislation that would make it illegal for an employer of
more than 15 workers to discriminate against homosexuals in the workplace. The
Employment Non-Discrimination Act is not expected to pass. With today's
announcement, Clinton becomes the first President to publicly support major
gay-rights legislation.(3:30)
10. RUBY RIDGE WHAT DID IT MEAN -- Weeks of Senate hearings on Ruby Ridge are
over. NPR's Nina Totenberg discusses Justice Department witnesses'
acknowledgements of the FBI's failures in the 1992 Idaho siege, at the
mountaintop cabin of a federal fugitive.(4:30)
11. COUNTING CROWDS III -- Dr.Farouk El-Baz, director of the Center for Remote
Sensing at Boston University, tells how his research team used computer on
screen tagging and other scientific methods to estimate the crowd at the
Million Man March.(4:00)
12. DAIWA BANK -- NPR's Jim Zarroli reports that officials of Japan's Daiwa
Bank today denied that they tried to cover-up a billion dollar financial
scandal at the bank's New York branch. Bank officials in Tokyo admitted they
had told a trader at the bank to continue to conceal his losses.(2:30)
13. THIRD PARTY IN CALIFORNIA -- NPR's Richard Gonzales reports that hundreds
of volunteers are trying to gather the 89,000 voter registrations needed by
Tuesday to get Ross Perot's third party on the California ballot. This is part
of a nationwide effort to begin an Independence Party to help influence the
upcoming elections. Volunteers are finding support for a new party, but many of
those registering say they're not interested in seeing Ross Perot run again for
president.(5:30)
14. AMAZING GRACE -- Noah Adams gets a tour of the South Bronx in New York
from author Jonathan Kozol. Mr. Kozol has published a new book called Amazing
Grace describing the children and their families of the destitute neighhborhood
whom he met over a two year span. The ghetto, says Mr. Kozol, reflects the
deliberate effort of society to segregate and punish the non-white poor.(12:30)
15. FLOPS SLEEPERS AND HITS -- Movie critic Bob Mondello says the box office
taek is increasingly upredictable.. all the winners have turned out to be
losers and the losers have turned into winners.(3:30)
16.DON CHERRY OBIT -- Trumpeter Don Cherry was a member of the groundbreaking
Ornette Coleman Quartet of the late 1950's and early 1960's. The group
pioneered "free jazz" - a drastic break from the post-bop being played at the
time because it did away with fixed time signatures and chord changes. It
inspired scorn among traditionalists...and it pointed the way to the jazz of
the next generation. Ten years later, Cherry pioneered world music...long
before Paul Simon and Peter Gabriel, Cherry was combining instruments and
sounds from Brazil, China, India, and Africa with his pocket trumpet to create
something new again.
Dean Olsher has an appreciation.(4:30)
