Drexel Interview, The | H. G. "Buzz" Bissinger | Journalist H. G. "Buzz" Bissinger is the author of the bestseller Friday Night Lights, the inspiration for the popular television series; the highly acclaimed A Prayer for the City, an exploration of Ed Rendell's tenure as mayor of Philadelphia; and other books. A regular contributor to Vanity Fair, the New York Times Magazine, Sports Illustrated, The Daily Beast, and other publications, Bissinger was formerly a reporter for The Philadelphia Inquirer. While there, he received the 1987 Pulitzer Prize for his investigative series on corruption in the Philadelphia court system. Bissinger talks about his entry into journalism during the Watergate scandal, an event that ushered many talented writers into investigative journalism. He also talks about the writing of Friday Night Lights, which opened his eyes to the abuses of the American sports culture. In discussing football, Bissinger comments on the 2011 scandal at Penn State, where the school's drive to protect its own through a code of silence eventually brought down famed head football coach Joe Paterno and the University president. Bissinger marvels at the intelligence and dedication of former Philadelphia mayor and governor Ed Rendell but does not shy away from discussing Rendell's flaws, including his famous temper. Bissinger also praises David L. Cohen, Mayor Rendell's chief of staff and a former Drexel InterView guest. This immensely entertaining and probing episode concludes with Bissinger's comments on his newest book, Father's Day, a touching account of his son Zach, who, though developmentally disabled, has a character and world view that his father deeply admires. |

Moyers & Company | The Toxic Politics of Science | Science can be a battleground -- witness the politics of climate change, the teaching of evolution, the uncharted terrain of genetic modification and stem cell research, among other contentious issues. But when industries release untested chemicals into our environment -- putting profits before public health -- our children are the first to suffer. Nowhere is this more troubling than in the ongoing story of lead poisoning. On this week's Moyers & Company, Bill talks with David Rosner and Gerald Markowitz, public health historians who've been taking on the chemical industry for years -- writing about the hazards of industrial pollution and the neglect of worker safety -- despite industry efforts to undermine them. Their latest book, Lead Wars: The Politics of Science and the Fate of America's Children, is the culmination of 20 years of research. Markowitz and Rosner warn that, for young children, there's no safe level of exposure to this dangerous toxin still lurking in millions of homes. Rosner and Markowitz discuss thwarted efforts to hold the lead industry accountable, failed attempts to find cheap solutions, and the cost to the future of our children. As long as the chemical industry and its powerful lobbies prevail in blocking efforts to reform outdated laws, the authors say, we will continue to float in a soup of toxins -- inhaling, drinking, and absorbing chemicals that we may learn, years later, have put us all in harm's way. Also on the show, Bill is joined by the heads of two independent watchdog groups keeping an eye on government as well as on powerful interests -- like chemical companies -- seeking to influence it. Sheila Krumholz, executive director of the Center for Responsive Politics and OpenSecrets.org, and Danielle Brian, who runs the Project on Government Oversight, talk to Bill about the importance of transparency to our democracy, and their efforts to scrutinize who's giving money, who's receiving it, and most importantly, what's expected in return. |

Intelligence Squared | Does Science Refute God's Existence? | On a fundamental question — evolution or creation? — Americans are on the fence. According to one survey, 61 percent of Americans believe we have evolved over time, but 22 percent believe this evolution was guided by a higher power, with another 31 percent on the side of creationism. For some, modern science debunks many of religion's core beliefs, but for others, questions like "Why are we here?" and "How did it all come about?" can be answered only through a belief in the existence of God. Can science and religion co-exist? |

Drexel Interview, The | Patrick Mureithi | Kenyan documentary filmmaker Patrick Mureithi is the founder of the production company Josiah Films, and the director, most recently, of the film ICYIZERE: Hope, which explores efforts at reconciliation and healing following the 1994 Rwandan genocide. Few subjects are as heart-rending and as surprising as Mureithi's account of the workshops in which both victims and perpetrators of the genocide come together to share their grief and haunting fears. This episode includes disturbing footage of the aftermath of the genocide as well as interviews with the workshop participants and a facilitator who carefully moderates and gently guides the dialogue. Currently an artist in residence at Drury University in Missouri, Mureithi explains that he first heard of the reconciliation workshops at a Quaker meeting in St. Louis, an event which moved him to make this film. He has screened the film in Kenya to show how political conflict can edge a country toward genocide. "I do believe in the hidden possibility of forgiveness," remarks Mureithi. In this episode, the filmmaker also talks about his more light-hearted film Many Steps, about the collegiate sport of stepping, and the episode also includes footage of that work. |

Feeding the Problem | What began in 1912 as a gracious effort to save the Jackson Hole elk herd from harsh winters, shrinking habitat, and dwindling forage, has morphed into a century-long feeding program on what is now the National Elk Refuge and 22 other State-run feed grounds. This biological experiment has created what some call a "petri dish" for wildlife disease and is now one of the most contentious, fiercely debated issues in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.The fed elk have high infection rates of diseases such as scabies, hoof rot, and brucellosis resulting from the unnatural congregation of the animals on the winter feed grounds. However, after a moose infected with Chronic Wasting Disease was found just miles from the feed grounds, there is a deadly new threat looming over the elk herds.Feeding the Problem explores the social, historical, and ecological impacts of Wyoming's elk feed grounds through stunning imagery and a powerful narrative. An eclectic mix of ranchers, outfitters, scientists, and wildlife officials shed light on this precarious situation and illustrate the important relationship between people and wildlife in Jackson Hole. | |

The debilitating illness affects close to 200,000 working-age Americans, a statistic that not only reflects the health crisis, but also impacts the US job market. As boomers progressively postpone retirement, the Bureau of Labor Statistics says within the next seven years one quarter of the labor force will be aged 55 and older. It's certain the incidence of Alzheimer's in the work place will grow. Among the public figures who are battling the disease while still trying to maintain their careers are Coach Pat Summit of the Lady Vols, and musician Glen Campbell. However, what is the reality for the average every-day worker suffering from Alzheimer's? Just how prepared are businesses to deal with an employee who exhibits cognitive deficiencies, and what are worker's rights if diagnosed with the illness? Joining us on this episode of Inside E Street is Holly Warlick, the newly appointed head coach of the University of Tennessee Lady Vols basketball team. Ms. Warlick has worked alongside Pat Summit, the legendary coach who has just become head coach emeritus, for over 27 years. She gives us an inside glimpse at Pat Summit's last year as head coach while battling Alzheimer's. We also have a panel discussion with Julie LeBlanc, Associate Director of Clinical Services at HRI, and Dr. Dan Marson, Director of the Alzheimer's disease Center at UAB. |

Unlocking the Secrets of Our Cells - The Nobel Prize | Inside all of us exists a series of micro-worlds at the cellular, molecular and atomic level, constantly working to maintain our existence, but of which we are blissfully unaware. The 2012 Nobel Laureates in Physiology or Medicine, Physics and Chemistry, have all unveiled new knowledge about this micro-world; this program explores their work, going on a journey through the micro-layers, showing how the discoveries they have made influence all our lives.Inside all of our cells is the next - molecular- level of the micro-world. The 2012 laureates in Chemistry identified and mapped the molecules that enable cells, and therefore our bodies, to react to the outside world. Robert Lefkowitz takes us through the long journey he went through to identify and map the protein responsible for transmitting outside influences into the cell so it can react - for example, in the adrenaline response in the body. He describes his and Brian Kobilka's work - and how it felt when they realized they'd made their groundbreaking discovery. The micro-world is going on all around us and, were it not for the work of this year's laureates, many of its secrets would still remain hidden. | |

Inside E Street | Cutting the Cost of Care | Guests:Dr. Eric Holmboe, Chief Medical Officer at the American Board of Internal Medicine Dr. David Newman, ER physician, author of "Hippocrates' Shadow: Secrets from the House ofMedicine"We take a close look at the Choosing Wisely campaign, a new effort by the American Board of Internal Medicine to educate patients about common medical procedures. The guidelines, issued by the ABIM, are from nine different medical specialties, each suggesting restrictions on five commonly used diagnostic tests/treatments. The goal of the ABIM is to slow requests of overused medical procedures, while at the same time reducing the healthcare costs of patients. Although the program is a refreshing take on health expenditure, not everyone backs the campaign.
