12:06Developing a Child's Imagination

Guest host: Matthew Felling

A child's imagination is special. With no distinction between art & nature, between reality and make-believe, children can explore and interact with their surroundings in unique ways. Ellen Handler Spitz merges her expertise in visual arts with psychology and shares insight on how to encourage the development of children's aesthetic awareness.

Guests

Ellen Handler Spitz, Honors College Professor of Visual Arts, University of Maryland, Baltimore County; author of "The Brightening Glance: Imagination and Childhood" (Pantheon)

13:06Whistleblowers & Secrecy

Guest host: Matthew Felling

National security workers are not generally covered by current government whistleblower protections. A look at bipartisan moves to expand protections, and why some worry increased emphasis on secrecy blurs the line between "whistleblowing" and "leaking".

Guests

Chris Strohm, Reporter, Government Executive Magazine

Sibel Edmonds, Founder, National Security Whistleblowers Coalition

David Rivkin, Former Justice Department Offical in the Reagan and Bush Senior administrations; and partner with Baker and Hostetler LLP
