Religion, Politics and Race

-
This week Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama denounced his former Pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, saying his recent comments were "divisive and destructive." The Wright-Obama drama has put the sticky, oft-avoided topic of race at the center of American politics. Aaron talks with veteran Chicago journalist Monroe Anderson and with the Rev. Eugene Rivers of Boston's Azusa Christian Community about this extraordinary cultural moment.

Navigating the Desert with Charles Bowden
Charles Bowden is a creature of the desert. In some ways as much a creature as the coyotes and the javelinas. It is not just that the 62 year old writer has lived in the desert for most of his life. Not even that he will, when the mood strikes sleep on the desert’s floor amid the snakes and the scorpions. It is that the desert is often the canvas for his work and the place that feeds his soul. He is neither a romantic about it nor does he fear it. He just seems to know it, to understand its rhythms. And so he seemed like the perfect person to take a walk with through the Palo Verde and the cactus to understand our new home better.
