President Bush last week officially requested that the International Trade Commission investigate foreign steel imports. This move and the President's statements about the steel industry's problems strike some observers as inconsistent with his professed free-trade stance. A panel talks about how the American steel industry is changing, and the role the U.S. government plays in its management.

Singer-songwriter Mary Chapin Carpenter presents her first new studio album in five years. She joins Diane to talk about how she broke through a bout of writer's block, and about her album's title - an abbreviated version of her producer's comment, "Time is the great gift; sex is the great equalizer; love is the great mystery."
Mary Chapin Carpenter, winner of five Grammies and Two Country Music awards, has sold over 13 million records.
