What's this?

10:00The Executive Branch and Classified Information

Vice President Dick Cheney is drawing fire for his assertion that his office should not be subject to a presidential order requiring reports to the National Archives on the handling of classified information. Diane and her guests talk about those rules: what they're for, to whom they apply, and the consequences of omissions from those records.

Guests

Peter Baker, reporter for The Washington Post

David Rivkin, attorney in private practice and former Justice Department official during the Reagan and George H.W. Bush administrations. Worked in the Office of the Vice President for Dan Quayle.

Steve Aftergood, director of the Project on Government Secrecy at the Federation of American Scientists

11:00Ralph Savarese: "Reasonable People" (Other Press)

A father's account of life with his adopted autistic son and what his years as DJ's father have taught him about the meaning of family, the politics of neurological differences, and nature of human possibility.

Guests

Ralph Savarese, teaches 20th century American literature and creative writing at Grinnell College.
