First Hour - What's wrong with Congress? Can it be fixed? And if so, how?

What's wrong with Congress? Can it be fixed? And if so, how? Our guests: Thomas Mann, co-author of " The Broken Branch: How Congress Is Failing America and How to Get It Back on Track" (Oxford University Press) and senior fellow at the Brookings Institution; and Elizabeth Holtzman, lawyer, former four-term Democratic Congressmember, and co-author of the recent "The Impeachment of President George W. Bush" (Nation Books).

 

 

Second Hour - Young environmental activists: recipients of this year's Brower Youth Award

Six young environmental activists will receive the Brower Youth Award this week in San Francisco. We'll be joined in-studio by three of them... Jessica Assaf is a 16 year-old from San Rafael, California; she's an activist with the Safe Cosmetics Campaign. May Boeve, 21 of Middlebury Vermont, co-coordinated a biodiesel bus tour to Detroit to convince automakers to increase fuel efficiency. Alberta Nells, 16, of Flagstaff Arizona is an activist with Youth of the Peaks, a group that works to protect lands sacred to Native groups in the San Francisco Peaks near Flagstaff. www.broweryouthawards.org
