The African American Church: Intersection of Race, Religion, Politics
Which Way, L.A.?

The African American Church: Intersection of Race, Religion, Politics Yesterday in Philadelphia, Barack Obama addressed the potent issues of race, religion and politics in a speech designed to allow his campaign get past the controversy created by some of the sermons of his former pastor, Jeremiah Wright. How did it come to this? We talk to the reporter who sparked the controversy, learn about the roots of the black church in America and its current role in African American society, and hear more about the difference in black and white Christian traditions.

Veterans' Day: Just Another Day to Go Shopping?
To the Point

Veterans' Day: Just Another Day to Go Shopping? In the aftermath of September 11, President Bush told Americans to return to business as usual and go shopping. Today Americans have the day off to honor the veterans of past wars and those that are being fought now in Iraq and Afghanistan. But since establishment of the all-volunteer service, there’s a disconnect so great that, on Veterans' Day, many civilians don’t even know one. We talk to veterans about why they fight and what it’s like to come home. Should the dead and the wounded be treated as "victims" or heroes who suffered the consequences of their own choices? Is Veterans' Day more than another day to go shopping?

America in Wartime: Who's Making the Sacrifices?
To the Point

America in Wartime: Who's Making the Sacrifices? The University of Wisconsin was a hotbed of protest during the Vietnam War.  Today, the war in Iraq has divided Americans almost as much, but you wouldn’t know that by visiting the Madison campus. Today, the war in Iraq has divided Americans almost as much but you wouldn't know that by visiting campuses. Previous conflicts were fought in part by Ivy League graduates and others in America's ruling elite. They signed up or they were drafted. However, the volunteers in Iraq come mostly from rural and lower-middle class America. Although the war is bitterly controversial, are most Americans disconnected? Is there a growing lack of commitment to public service or active citizenship? We hear from students at a state university and private military college, a former congressman and the author-father of a former enlisted serviceman.

Why Aren't Americans More Directly Engaged in the Iraq War?
To the Point

Why Aren't Americans More Directly Engaged in the Iraq War? Anti-war protests are being prepared for this weekend, but they may be only a shadow of the demonstrations against the war in Vietnam. A good example is university campuses, which were hotbeds of protest during the 1970's. Today, the war in Iraq has divided Americans almost as much but you wouldn't know that by visiting campuses.  Previous conflicts were fought in part by Ivy League graduates and others in America's ruling elite. They signed up or they were drafted. However, the volunteers in Iraq come mostly from rural and lower-middle class America.  Although the war is bitterly controversial, are most Americans disconnected?  Is there a growing lack of commitment to public service or active citizenship?
