On Thursday morning, the Department of Justice released a redacted copy of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report about Russian meddling in the 2016 election. The 448-page report covers a range of topics, from Russian interference in the election to potential obstruction of justice by President Donald Trump.

But the evidence wasn’t there, the report says. pic.twitter.com/NshJaorB2w — Chris Megerian (@ChrisMegerian) April 18, 2019   And here’s NPR’s ongoing analysis of the report. This week marked the 20th anniversary of the mass shooting at Columbine High School that left 12 students and one teacher dead. We looked at the legacy of Columbine during a special broadcast in collaboration with KUNC Public Media and Guns & America earlier this week. Reporter Leigh Paterson shared her work with us, which includes conversations with Columbine survivors, school administrators and activists. “Some of the reporting I’ve done should leave people with some hope,” she told us. “In spite of these shootings, evidence shows that school is one of the safest places your child could be.” We’re also following the latest on the threat that led over a hundred schools in Colorado to cancel classes Wednesday. Florida teenager Sol Pais, whom authorities said was “infatuated” with the Columbine shooting, was found dead after a wide-scale manhunt. Plus, we’ll bring you an update on the Trump administration’s immigration policy at the border. The Department of Justice will begin denying bond hearings to a large class of asylum seekers hoping to be released — a move that could affect tens of thousands of migrants. The decision, made by Attorney General William Barr, overrules a 2005 court ruling that guarantees bond hearings for certain migrants. And what to make of President Trump’s proposal to send detained immigrants to sanctuary cities?
Democrats must change the Immigration Laws FAST. If not, Sanctuary Cities must immediately ACT to take care of the Illegal Immigrants – and this includes Gang Members, Drug Dealers, Human Traffickers, and Criminals of all shapes, sizes and kinds. CHANGE THE LAWS NOW! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 14, 2019   We’ll wrap up the week’s domestic news. Text by Kathryn Fink.

Question: Cochlear Implants Redefine What It Means To Be Deaf

There was a time when a child born deaf had few choices. For more than a century, the only option for parents was to send their son or daughter away to a boarding school for the deaf. There, the children and the schools thrived in the shadows, embracing a distinct culture of silent communication. Recent advances in medicine and technology are now reshaping what it means to be deaf in America. Children who could never hear a sound are now adults who can hear everything. That's having a dramatic impact on the nation's historic deaf schools as well as the lives of people. One of those people is 31-year-old Shehzaad Zaman, who was born deaf. Everyone else in his family could hear, and his parents worried — they wanted him to fit into a hearing world. "My parents wanted me to learn how to speak and how to listen, despite not being able to hear," Zaman tells weekends on All Things Considered guest host Laura Sullivan. He went to a special school at first, but in third grade his parents changed their minds. They sent him to therapy to teach him to read lips and moved him to his neighborhood school in Long Island, N.Y. He learned to play sports and make friends, but it was never easy. "All my peers were able to use the telephone and have conversations in noisy restaurants, and it was getting harder and harder for me to have a conversation outside of one-on-one or one-on-two," he says. The summer before his senior year, a small miracle happened. A new piece of technology, called a cochlear implant, was helping deaf people hear. Doctors surgically inserted an implant into one of Zaman's ears. He woke up and the world was an entirely new place. "At that time, I didn't know what I was hearing. I was hearing so many different things that sounded so mechanical," he says. "It didn't sound natural to me. I was hearing the air conditioner, or running water or a bird chirping and I didn't know what it was, so it really took some time for my brain to process." Zaman says he would have to sit in the backyard just to try to absorb all the sounds he could now hear. More than half of all deaf children are now getting cochlear implants, and every year the number increases. One-in-four deaf adults also now have it, though it takes longer for adult brains to adapt to hearing sound. For Zaman, it was practical as well as emotional. He wanted to go to medical school and he knew a doctor needed to hear. "In medicine, it's not acceptable to hear 70 percent of information, because that can make a difference in terms of quality of patient care," he says. "So I was always trying to get up to 100 percent accuracy in terms of understanding the information." Today, he is a physician in Sacramento, Calif., and last year he received a second cochlear implant in his other ear, bringing his hearing close to 100 percent. He says he no longer thinks about not being able to hear. Only in rare moments, if there's a lot of loud, competing noise, does he search for someone's lips. "We live in a hearing world, a hearing society, and I was just happy because I could have much more ease in terms of communicating with people," he says. The Cochlear Technology Zaman is already on his fourth upgrade of the device. Dr. John Niparko, an ear specialist at Johns Hopkins Hospital, says there will likely be many more in the years ahead. "Just like our cell phones [and] our laptops, cochlear implants are becoming smarter in terms of bringing in the most important sounds to the ear of the implant listener," Niparko tells NPR's Sullivan. Experts say that while they know that 1 in 1,000 children are born genetically deaf every year, it's almost impossible to track the rate of deafness over time. Hearing impairment is a spectrum — and it changes. So have its causes. Diseases like rubella, scarlet fever and measles that caused hearing loss have been all but eradicated with vaccines. But more premature babies with hearing loss are surviving. There also appear to be more children with autism, which has been linked to hearing difficulties. What is certain is that more than half of the children who once were deaf — for whatever reason — can now hear. Niparko has performed hundreds of the surgeries, and calls the cochlear implant a remarkable technology. "It can take in sound waves much like a hearing aid would," Niparko says, "but instead of simply amplifying those sound waves ... [it] can take that energy and translate it into an electrical code." That code is then sent along a series of contacts placed next to the hearing nerve, and along with small packets of electricity, that hearing nerve is activated, thus re-creating the act of hearing, he says. The implant works for the vast majority of deaf people, Niparko says, but unfortunately there is a socioeconomic divide that prevents the availability of the device for all deaf cases. "The device itself is about $32,000 [and] the hospital costs and surgery adds about another $10,000 to $12,000 on that," he says. With the inv

The Australian guitarist John Williams, who studied under Segovia, brought another composer to the "essential" list: The Paraguayan guitarist Augustin Barrios-Mangore (1885-1944), whose music went largely neglected by modern interpreters until the 1980s and \'90s. Williams\' From the Jungles of Paraguay, an album of solo guitar pieces, provides an excellent way to encounter this entrancing songwriter, whose pieces reflect and then transcend tradition. How hip was Barrios? Check out "Cueca for Guitar" (audio), a Brazilian fantasia in waltz meter. It starts out simply enough, with the guitar playing blocky chords. Pretty soon, though, come tone variations — first featherweight harmonics, then sweeping glissandos, and finally a passage in which the guitarist softly taps the instrument to produce a percussive sound. Born in a large family in Southern Paraguay, Barrios learned folk songs from his mother before studying the classical repertoire. Convinced that Barrios was a special talent, a local teacher prevailed upon his parents to let him move to a larger city to further his studies; by the time he was 20, he was composing mature pieces. These fall into several categories: Some are folkloric, some are religious, and some, like the moody "Preludio for Guitar" (audio), borrow chord progressions and structure from established classical forms. Even in his most scholarly moments, however, Barrios is an individual: His long, rhapsodic melodies move in graceful strides, while his chord sequences are active enough to provide rock guitarists with plenty to puzzle out. Williams renders these pieces reverently, with no extra fanfare. He makes sure that even in the most technically dazzling moments, the spotlight remains on the tender and intricate music of an unjustly overlooked composer." should be close to "Reflecting and Transcending Paraguayan Tradition"', 'Another big blow was struck late last week against the embattled plan for tribal gambling in the desert city of Barstow, as federal officials rejected the land applications of two out-of-the area tribes.\nOn Friday, the U.S. Department of the Interior rejected requests from both the Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupeno Indians and the [...]']" should be close to "['Represent the headline to find a news subtitle on NPR with more details:', 'Feds Reject Barstow Casino Plan']"

Question: Jimmy Carter: 'Beyond the White House'

represent this text to find its title about the same news but with slightly less depth

Former President Jimmy Carter says that when he left office at age 56, he and his wife Rosalynn faced a stark question: "What would we do with the rest of our lives?" Carter describes his answer to that question in a new memoir, Beyond the White House. He talked with Steve Inskeep about his life after his presidency, when Carter has engaged in peacemaking efforts and fighting disease worldwide. "The post-presidential years have been much more an opportunity for me and Rosalynn, personally, to become involved in the lives of other people around the world," Carter says. Though Carter concedes that he sometimes misses the power that came along with being the president of the United States, he says that he has learned to manage without it. Today, in his efforts around the world, he must inspire and persuade his supporters. "It's a much more complex way to build up influence than just to exert the power of a great nation," he says. Does he feel that he has accomplished more after his presidency than he did while he was in office? Carter doesn't necessarily disagree with that statement: "I tried to do the best I could in both cases," he says. Carter says that working with his human rights organization, the Carter Center, has been particularly rewarding. "For the last 25 years," the former president says, "my life could not have been more expansive, and unpredictable, and adventurous and gratifying." Nigeria Nigeria is the most populous and perhaps the most influential nation in Africa, but also the most disappointing in adopting democracy and controlling government corruption.  Olusegun Obasanjo was a contemporary of mine as president, having become the leader of Nigeria as a general and then deciding to relinquish political authority to a popularly elected successor. It was because of my friendship with Obasanjo that I decided to visit his country and Liberia in 1978, the first trip by a U.S. president to sub-Saharan Africa. After he and I left office, we worked together to help resolve some of the challenges faced by other African nations. Later, under the regime of a despotic military dictator, Sani Abacha, Obasanjo was imprisoned because of his public condemnation of the  regime's corruption and human rights abuses. I went to see Abacha and convinced him to permit Obasanjo to return to his farm home, where he was kept under house arrest. He was subsequently detained again and remained under arrest until after the death of Abacha, in June 1998.  We at The Carter Center were pleased to be asked to participate as observers of  Nigeria's national elections in 1999, the first to be held in the country in sixteen years. I was also glad when Obasanjo decided to seek the presidency, but I was determined to remain neutral between him and the other candidate, Olu Falae, a graduate of Yale University and former finance minister. I visited Nigeria in January to meet with the Independent National Electoral Commission, acting head of state General Abdulsalami Abubakar, the two prominent candidates, chairmen of the political parties, and other leaders. We considered this one of the most important elections to be held that year, because of the size and influence of Nigeria on the African continent and because of the need to end the history of military rule, imposed during twenty-eight of the thirty-eight years of national independence.  The Center formed an alliance with the National Democratic Institute and invited the former Niger president Mahamane Ousmane and U.S. General Colin Powell, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (and future secretary of state), to be my co-chairs. There were sixty-six people from ten nations in our delegation, and our teams were sent to their assigned locations in states where problems had been detected and their presence would be most beneficial.  The day before the election, Rosalynn, the  Center's democracy program director Charles Costello, and I flew to Port Harcourt for meetings with representatives of the Niger Delta community. We knew that the region was a tinderbox. Although we found all representatives, including those of the militant Ijaw youth, to be searching for a peaceful resolution of their grievances against the oil companies and the government, no one expressed confidence in the current series of elections or the ability of elected local or state officials to address their needs. These intelligent young leaders quietly declared that their more influential elders had not been permitted to register and that, in any case, it was fruitless to vote because election officials were bribed to report results without regard to how ballots were cast. I urged them to give the process a chance to succeed and to work with the elected officials who would be taking office on May 29.  Unfortunately, on Election Day we found that the predictions of the Ijaw young people were accurate in many states. Rosalynn and I observed election reports of high turnout when very few people actuall

Question: Foreign Service Officers Get Crash Course on Iraq

There has been a lot of attention paid to the military surge in Iraq. But less heralded has been the so-called civilian surge that's occurring at the same time — though not on the same level.  The civilians helping in Iraq number in the hundreds — not the tens of thousands — and they make up Provincial Reconstruction Teams (PRTs), whose job is to help Iraqi local governments learn to function.  In January, President Bush announced that he was doubling the number of teams from 10 to 20. The U.S. State Department is trying to quickly train people for the task.  John Matel, a foreign service officer, can't quite say what drove him to take an assignment in Iraq. He served in Poland when that country was in transition. He hopes that his experience can translate to Iraq, where he will be running a PRT in Anbar province. "I've always done local ... I did Krakow in Poland, not Warsaw, at first. I did Porto Allegro in Brazil, not Brasilia," Matel says. "And I come from Wisconsin, which isn't exactly the center of the world ... though we think it was." Matel has been in the foreign service for 23 years. He doesn't speak Arabic and certainly couldn't learn it in the two-week course that the State Department has developed. Mainly, the course was a chance for Matel to get advice from people who have been to Iraq — such as to wear cotton under the body armor so it doesn't catch on fire. "That is kind of scary," Matel says. "It never occurred to me to choose my undergarments based on inflammability." Security is a major theme of the classes, which include first aid and basic weapons training.  Paul Wedderein, also a foreign service officer, describes his class at a raceway in West Virginia, where they are taught how to drive out of danger.  "All I can tell you is that when somebody puts you in a car and says, 'Go hit that other car out of your way,' that's a singularly liberating experience," Wedderein says.  The security training lasts about a week. That leaves just five days for everything else.  Robert Perito, who has studied PRTs for the U.S. Institute of Peace, says that the fact that the officials are getting training at all is an improvement. "They've made a conscientious attempt to provide the best possible training they can in the five days that are allowed to them," Perito says. "But what the training really turns out to is a series of lectures — an hour or two-hour lecture on Iraq, or an hour or two-hour lecture on Islam, or a description of what PRTs are in an hour and a half. So, there's a lot that gets thrown in very quickly." Perito has been on panels that were cut short because the people heading out needed more time to get paperwork done. And some foreign service officers have privately complained about the rush to get people to Iraq. Those who are going don't have a chance to learn even basic Arabic, they say.  Ginger Cruz, the deputy special inspector general for Iraq reconstruction, recently testified that the $2 billion-a-year program has been plagued by staffing problems. The new PRTs, which are embedded in U.S. military brigades, have been filled mainly by the military.  "I've spoken to several of these training programs," says Perito, who has seen the military involvement firsthand. "Sometimes you go in there and the room is all uniforms." The State Department says this is changing. Wedderein says the training course he took was a bit more diverse — and he wouldn't say it was a room full of young people seeking adventure. "When I looked around that classroom … three of the people at my table were north of 55 and had been doing agricultural all of their lives," he says. "It's not for the adventure, but it is for the mission." He's hoping that he can do his part to build trust among local Iraqi authorities, helping them work through the bureaucracy and get money for needed projects. Wedderein knows much of his training will be on the job — and that even his assignment could change the moment he lands in Baghdad.

Question: Family, Death And A Road Trip In 'Ashes To Asheville'

Some books can sweep you away in the first sentence. Sarah Dooley's new book Ashes To Asheville begins with a riff that includes sisterhood, death, cute pets and saucy widows. "Right before my sister, Zany, steals our dead mother off the mantel, I'm trying to decide which sock to stuff in Haberdashery's mouth to shut him up. He's barking every five seconds, yip yip yip, all shrill like a smoke detector with its batteries low. It's a wonder Mrs. Madison hasn't come downstairs in her slippery cheetah robe, waving Mr. Madison's ancient handgun. She keeps the thing in her purse, says a widow as pretty as her needs protection, especially with, what she calls it, her assets. I thought she was talking dirty the first time I heard that, till Mama Shannon explained she meant money." Sarah Dooley has written several best-selling novels for young adults including Free Verse and Body of Water. Her newest novel is a story about about sisters trying to fulfill their mother's dying wish to spread her ashes in the last place the family was happy.  Interview Highlights  On if she hesitated opening the book with a mother in ashes I definitely did take a few minutes pause to think about that, but the story that Fella and Zany had to tell about not only the mother they lost, but the mother that they still have was so important that it overrode any doubts that I had. On Fella's character So Fella is the narrator she. Her name is Ophelia, and she goes by the nickname Fella. She's 12 years old. She's the one telling the story and she's hitting the road with her 16-year-old sister Zoey Grace who goes by Zany. On why the two sisters are separated Because of the the laws in place governing the legalities of same sex marriage at the time that Fella and Zany were growing up, which was the early 2000s, their mothers were not able to be legally married. So when Mama Lacy passed away her biological child Fella, who's telling the story, was sent to live with Mrs. Madison, her grandmother. Zany on the other hand stayed behind with their other mother because she was biologically related to Mama Shannon. So when they lost Mama Lacy, which they couldn't have foreseen, their family structure was shaken, not only by the loss of one mother, but by Fella then losing the only other mother she knew, as well as her sister and having to go live with a virtual stranger. On the road trip Fella and Zany undertake Zany shows up in the middle of the night to sweep Fella away along with Mama Lacy's ashes. She wants to celebrate Mama Lacy's birthday by scattering her ashes in the last place that they ever felt at home as a family together which was Asheville, N.C. So they're going from the Beckley, W.Va. area to the Asheville, N.C. area. They think they can make it there and back before anybody wakes up in the morning. Of course, they've never gone on a long road trip alone together, so they don't know what's lying in wait for them. On what readers can take away about relationships from the book I been asked a lot of times why I chose to write about a nontraditional family or a family that was different, but Mama Lacy and Mama Shannon are such typical parents. They fight, they argue, they tease each other, they embarrass their children in public. They struggle with finances and they struggle with household decoration and car repair, and just all the little details that make a family typical and make up a life together. I hope that readers can take away from the book that no matter what your relationship looks like there's a lot more that make people the same than that make them different. On why she became a writer I grew up with parents who modeled storytelling as a way to deal with hardship. So if we were struggling to find a place to live, or struggling to pay the rent, or struggling to deal with any number of issues that you run into growing up poor in Appalachia, my family modeled storytelling as a way to navigate that world. So it's not just that something's wrong it's "what is the story?" and "what is the uplifting twist to the story?" and "what is the end of this story?" You're going to move forward through the hard part and you're going to end up at the happy ending. So I had storytelling modeled to me from the start. On relating to children's literature and writing it I still read a lot of children's literature. I think there are some amazing voices. I read and re-read books like Homecoming and The Outsiders and those are books that I can pick up and go home to again. As somebody who moved a lot, and didn't have necessarily a childhood home to go back to, those books are my childhood home. I wanted to write stories for kids and about kids who didn't necessarily know the path that they were expected to take, and we're forced to find their own path. Those are the kids who I think have the best adventures.

Mr. DAVE LOEBACH (Head Football Coach, River Valley High School):      Heavenly Father, we thank you for our opportunity tonight to come here      and play the game of football.       My name is Dave Loebach.  I am the head football coach at River Valley      High School in Three Oaks, Michigan.  This is our ninth, last game of the      season against Cassopolis.       We pray, dear Lord, that there are no injuries and that we are allowed to      play to our full potential the entire 48 minutes.       My number-one goal would be, obviously, to score.  We haven't scored      since the third week of the season.       Unidentified Announcer:  Here they come, ladies and gentlemen, your 2005      River Valley Mustangs.  What a stampede ...(unintelligible).       (Soundbite of cheering)       JOHN JAKES (River Valley Mustangs):  My name's John Jakes(ph), and I'm a      sophomore, and I am the quarterback for the Mustangs.       (Soundbite of crowd)       Unidentified Cheerleader #1:  Who are we?       Crowd:  (In unison) Mustangs!       JAKES:  In the beginnings of the games, we'll just get each other so      psyched up about the game that we just think we're unstoppable.       (Soundbite of football game)       Crowd:  (In unison) One, two, three, four back.       Unidentified Announcer:  Williams' kickoff fielded by Boresma(ph).  Looks      like a fumble on the play.  Cassopolis ball.       JAKES:  Then you go out there, one thing bad happens--and we're so used      to bad things happening to us that we all just put our heads down and      just turn away and just almost give up.       Unidentified Announcer:  There's the ball carrier in for the Cassopolis      touchdown.       Mr. DOUG KILL(ph) (Parent):  My name's Doug Kill.  My son Tom's a      sophomore. He sustained a shoulder injury, which he had to have surgery      for.  So hopefully he'll be back next year to play.       Unidentified Announcer:  Cassopolis--hey, River Valley yet to have      possession of the ball.       Mr. KILL:  That's pretty typical of what they've been doing on us all      year--is running the outside.  And they know our weaknesses.       Unidentified Man #1:  We're very slow.  That's our biggest weakness.  And      every now and then we run across teams that are very fast.       Mr. KILL:  There goes the end around again for another 60-yard touchdown.       Unidentified Announcer:  Brings our score to Cassapolis 22, River Valley      yet to score.       Unidentified Man #2:  We've got mostly freshman and sophomores with a      handful of juniors.  We only have three seniors.       Mr. WAYNE WARNER (Athletic Director, River Valley School District):  My      name's Wayne Warner.  I'm the assistant principal and athletic director      for the River Valley School District.  Part of the reason might be that      our enrollment here has been dropping primarily because of economic      conditions.       Ms. KELLY BORESMA (Parent):  I'm Kelly Boresma.  My son, Dallas, is a      junior.       Unidentified Announcer:  Boresma, the ball carrier.       Ms. BORESMA:  This area--when I was a kid, there were I can't even count      how many huge manufacturing plants--Gas(ph), Weldon(ph), Allis Chalmers.      And everybody's dad worked at a factory, and that's gone.  You know, the      jobs just aren't here, and people aren't going to come here and bring      their family here.       Mr. WARNER:  Also, the older kids, I guess, after getting beat up a      couple years have chose not to come out.       Unidentified Announcer:  Majors(ph) in for the touchdown.       Unidentified Man #3:  People see what happens on Friday nights...       Unidentified Announcer:  This is our score, 30-nothing.       Unidentified Man #3:  ...they don't want to be part of that, and they're      kind of scared about going out.       Mr. WARNER:  And we do have some players that used to play football are      now playing

Question: 'Aftermath' Illuminates Lives Of Uprooted Iraqis

Represent the subtitle to find a news title on NPR with less details.

By and large, plays and movies about the Iraq war have focused on either American soldiers or the politics leading up to the conflict. At the New York Theatre Workshop, the new documentary play Aftermath offers a completely different focus: It looks at the stories of ordinary Iraqis whose lives have been uprooted by the war. Playwright Erik Jensen says it's all too easy for Americans to see Iraqi civilians as numbers — the nameless faces populating the news coverage.  "Just the other day, it said in the newspaper, '21 people killed in a bombing north of Baghdad,' " Jensen says. "What does that mean? You know, '21 people.' Well, they were a pharmacist, a lawyer, a doctor, somebody who was on the way to pick up something for their mother, somebody who was going to propose to his girlfriend. These are the things that never get given to us in the paper." In Jordan, Discovering An Iraq In Exile Jensen and his writing partner (and wife) Jessica Blank set out to meet some of these regular people, and to find out about their lives. While they deemed it too dangerous to travel to Iraq, they did fly to Jordan, where there's a community of almost 1 million displaced Iraqis.  Blank says she went into the interviews with some trepidation, but found all 37 of the people they met to be warm and welcoming — inviting them into their homes, offering them tea and cookies, showing them family photographs. "Nobody we met was angry at us," Blank says. "Nobody we met treated us with any mistrust. And I think after 25 years of living with Saddam, the Iraqis that we met really understand, on a deep and visceral level, that there's a difference between the policies of a government and the people of a country." Blank and Jensen returned from Jordan with hundreds of hours of recorded interviews. They gathered a team of actors at Dartmouth College last summer to work on creating the play from the raw transcripts, many of which tell harrowing stories. One of the actors who participated in that process was Demosthenes Chrysan, who plays an imam. "The material was so intense," Chrysan says, "that every single actor in that room, somewhere in the middle of reading it, just broke down. And we had to stop, because it was just overwhelming." Found In Translation: Familiar Lives, And Thrilling Theater  Blank and Jensen ultimately winnowed that initial hoard of material down to six real stories, among them a pharmacist whose nephew gets killed by contractors, a married couple who flee the country because of militia harassment and a dermatologist who ends up doing triage at a hospital in Baghdad.  And they created a composite character — a translator. "We realized that the act of translation was what had enabled us to cross that gap," Blank says, "and that it was imperative that we have a translator character in the play and that we deal with the issue of translation." Fajer Al-Kaisi, who was born in Baghdad and grew up in Montreal, plays Shahid, the translator.  "We discovered that that actually helped ease the trauma," Al-Kaisi says, "to have someone sort of guide you through it, or to have someone kind of weave in and out of the stories and sort of pop in." Al-Kaisi says Jensen and Blank have translated the lives of these real Iraqis into effective, powerful theater. "I think they've struck a really kind of beautiful balance," he says, "where everyone in this play has something horrific and horrendous and tragic happen to them, but yet they're still accessible as human beings, and they're still in the room with you as human beings." Jensen hopes the play can find a life outside New York City; he thinks audiences will recognize themselves in the people onstage.  "Like most Americans, most Iraqis just want to, you know, get to their jobs, feed their kids, get home — they're fairly apolitical," he says. "I actually think the Iraqis that I met have more in common with my conservative, family-oriented Lutheran relatives back in Minnesota than they do with somebody in New York City, even."  Aftermath runs at the New York Theatre Workshop until Oct. 18. SCOTT SIMON, host:  This is WEEKEND EDITION from NPR News. I'm Scott Simon.  A crop of plays and movies that have been made about the Iraq War have usually focused on either U.S. soldiers or the politics leading up to the conflict.

Question: It's ScuttleButton Time!

I've been on the road for much of the last two weeks — a visit to Oklahoma on behalf of NPR's StateImpact project, a visit to member station KPCC in Pasadena, Calif., and then a trip to Orlando and member station WMFE, where we broadcast the Talk of the Nation Junkie segment in advance of the Florida primary and performed a Political Junkie "roadshow" before a live audience of some 800 fellow junkies later that evening. In that time, regrettably, there was no time to write the Political Junkie column, which returns next week.  But now that I'm back to sanity — assuming that is an accurate way to describe Washington, D.C. — there IS time for a new ScuttleButton puzzle. It's been awhile, and hopefully you haven't forgotten how to play.  Every Monday on this  site I put up a      vertical display  of  buttons.     Your    job is to  simply take one word      (or    concept)   per   button, add      'em up,  and,     hopefully, you      will  arrive  at a    famous   name  or  a familiar expression.  (And        seriously,  by familiar, I mean it's something              that      more than  one       person  on Earth would     recognize.) For         years, a    correct   answer chosen at       random would get his  or     her    name   posted in this   column, an     incredible honor in  itself.      Now the    stakes are  even   higher.     Thanks  to the  efforts of the    folks  at Talk of the Nation, that person also  hears their name mentioned on the Wednesday show and receives a Political Junkie t-shirt in the bargain.  Is this a great country or what? You can't  use the   comments box at the bottom  of  the page    for your answer.  Send   submission (plus your   name and   city/state — you   won't   win without that) to  politicaljunkie@npr.org. And,         by adding your name to    the Political                  Junkie mailing list,   you  will be among the first on your  block to                   receive notice       about the column and the puzzle.  Sign up     at  politicaljunkie@npr.org.          Or you can make sure to get an automatic RSS feed whenever a new        Junkie   post goes up by clicking here. Good                           luck! By                the way, I announce the        winner on   Wednesday's    Junkie segment on TOTN.  But with a new puzzle up every Monday    afternoon, you   should      get your    answer   in by Monday the    latest. Here's the answer to the most recent puzzle: Column E/Save Hudson County — From a local New Jersey ballot initiative, probably circa 1970s. Retain Lyman Probate Court Clerk — This button of late 1930s vintage refers to Frank Lyman of Chicago. green button with the letters ING — This clever button is from Alaska Sen. Ernest Gruening (pronounced GREEN-ing), who was defeated in the 1968 Democratic primary by Mike Gravel. So, when you combine E + Lyman + Ing, you just very well may get ... Eli Manning.  The quarterback of the New York Giants who is taking his team to the Super Bowl following upsets of the Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers in the playoffs. Did I ever tell you I love the Giants? But enough about me.  The ScuttleButton winner, chosen completely at random, is ... Gary McAtee of Chickasha, Okla. Gary gets a TOTN t-shirt.

Question: Edie Brickell & New Bohemians: Starting Over

In 1989, Edie Brickell and New Bohemians found massive success on the strength of the hit "What I Am," from the band's debut album Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars. With Brickell's delicate voice at the forefront, the group quickly became known for its wry, charming, folk-inflected indie-rock. The next year, however, Ghost of a Dog failed to generate a big hit, and the band split up. Most of its members branched off to other projects — Brickell, for one, launched a solo career and married Paul Simon — but several of them recently reunited after a 15-year hiatus. The new Stranger Things finds Edie Brickell and New Bohemians returning to their jam-band beginnings, while retaining the playful and distinct sound that made them successful in the first place.

Question: A Prediction on Kerry's Veep

Q:  Who is going to be the Democratic vice presidential candidate this year? -- Marcus Kosena, Sunnyvale, Calif. A:  Let's face it, it's the question on the mind of every political junkie in America, and it's been the overwhelming subject of mail I've received over the past three months.  (Readers: please send your own prediction to politicaljunkie@npr.org.) Some say Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry's choice won't really matter in the long run, that voters vote for president, not vice president.  For the most part, that's true.  But you don't want your choice to be an embarrassment, or a distraction.  You don't want to get bogged down talking about your running mate's family finances (as with Democrat Geraldine Ferraro in 1984) or whether he tried to avoid military service (as with Republican Dan Quayle in 1988).  But the fact is that since World War II, five vice presidents -- Harry Truman, Richard Nixon, Lyndon Johnson, Gerald Ford and George H.W. Bush -- all became president, and another one, Al Gore, nearly joined that list.  So even if the choice may not decide the election, it is important, and you know it will be scrutinized and analyzed to death. I know the case against North Carolina Sen. John Edwards.  I know he has less  than six years in public office -- half of what Quayle had in '88, and yet he was famously ridiculed over his qualifications in the debate against Lloyd Bentsen.  I know that Republicans will paint Edwards as being in the pocket of trial lawyers.  Some anonymous Kerry staffers have complained that Edwards is too ambitious, appearing too eager for the job; would a President Kerry have to look over his shoulder for four, or eight, years?  Plus, there is no guarantee he will help Kerry carry North Carolina, let alone any other Southern state. The real battleground for November, we are told, is the Midwest -- hence the argument for outgoing Rep. Richard Gephardt (from the swing state of Missouri), Sen. Evan Bayh (IN) or Iowa's Gov. Tom Vilsack.  And as someone who was so determined to run a positive, upbeat campaign during the primaries, could Edwards switch personas and become an attack dog, which is, after all, the historical role of a running mate?  These are all legitimate concerns. But unlike many other VP selections over the years, voters around the country have seen Edwards in action -- and apparently they like what they see.  Yes, he won only one primary (his birth state of South Carolina).  But he seemed to strike a chord with his optimism, energy and charisma.  One presumably needs more than that if he or she is to be elected president, but having those traits in a running mate may be a different animal.  Even if he can't push Kerry over the top in the South, his presence on the ticket could give southern Democratic candidates for the Senate license to embrace the ticket.  (With five seats in the South being vacated by Democratic incumbents, this will be the region that decides who controls the Senate in the 109th Congress.)  As for the issue of their compatibility, or their potential lack of:  well, Bill Clinton and Al Gore certainly had it, and they won.  But John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson apparently did not, and they won as well. I should tell you that, against all odds, I predicted Quayle in '88 and Thomas Eagleton in 1972 (honest!).  So I'm either prescient, or out of my mind.  This time, however, I'm expecting a more conventional choice, and I think it's going to be Edwards. Q:  Was there ever a vice presidential nominee who reprised that role with a later presidential nominee? -- Charles Markey, Jersey City, N.J. A:  Yes, there were three.  Thomas Hendricks of Indiana ran on the unsuccessful Democratic ticket led by Samuel Tilden in 1876.  Eight years later, he ran with, and was elected with, Grover Cleveland.  (Hendricks died after less than nine months as vice president.)  Adlai Ewing Stevenson, a Democrat from Illinois, was elected with Cleveland in 1892.  In 1900 Stevenson was again the VP nominee, but he lost on the ticket headed by William Jennings Bryan.  Finally, Sen. Charles Fairbanks (R-IN) was elected vice president under Theodore Roosevelt in 1904.  In 1916, he again sought the office, but the GOP ticket led that year by Charles Evans Hughes went down to defeat. For the record, only two times in history has a vice president served with different presidents.  New York Gov. George Clinton was VP in Thomas Jefferson's second term (1805-09) and later during James Madison's first term (1809-12), where he died in office.  John C. Calhoun was John Quincy Adams' vice president (1825-29) and again under Andrew Jackson (1829-32); he resigned shortly before the end of Jackson's first term to become a senator from South Carolina. Q:  Your June 2 column focused on House elections, in which the unsuccessful candidate in the special came back to win the general election.   You said the last such case was a West Virginia race in 1980.  What about the 1993 special in

Question: The Bordelons: Rebuilt Home, Hope for the Future

A year ago, Donald and Colleen Bordelon's home in St. Bernard Parish was still pretty much a ruin, a victim of Hurricane Katrina's floodwaters.  Since then, the Bordelons have made a lot of progress.  They have almost finished rebuilding the inside of the house, and they've moved in furniture and even hooked up the cable TV.    They are now working on the outside, putting up new siding and installing new gutters and a carport. They still don't have regular telephone service, but are hoping that will be installed in the next two to three months.  Despite some talk of not rebuilding neighborhoods vulnerable to another flood, the Bordelons are also more confident that their neighborhood will come back. They share with NPR's Steve Inskeep that fiber-optic cable lines are being installed nearby.  And more of their neighbors have begun rebuilding their homes.   Still, Colleen Bordelon admits it's hard to get used to the way the neighborhood looks.    "You don't even think about it until you go outside," she says.  "And then you say, 'Yuck!'" STEVE INSKEEP, host:  Shortly after Hurricane Katrina, we met some people who simply refused to leave their home.  How high did the water get in here?  Mr. DONALD BORDELON (Resident, St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana): In here? How high can you see? That's how high it went, buddy.  INSKEEP: Donald Bordelon and his wife, Colleen, have become regular guests on this program. And two years after Katrina, we called them again. We're talking with people who made a difference. And the Bordelon's home outside New Orleans is now different.  Mr. and Mrs. Bordelon?  Mr. BORDELON: Hey, how are you doing?  INSKEEP: Hey.  Ms. COLLEEN BORDELON (Resident, St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana): Hello.  INSKEEP: Hi. Good to talk with you again.  Mr. BORDELON: Hey. Good to talk to you, too. We've been moving along, you know, still working on our house. Got the inside finished. Working on the outside right now.  INSKEEP: Well, now, let's talk about that for a minute, because when we first met you the first floor of your house was completely destroyed. The second floor of your house didn't honestly look very much better. But I had a colleague who dropped in on you, as you know, not too many weeks ago, and he said he practically wanted to move in, the house looks so nice.  Mr. BORDELON: Oh, yeah. The inside is coming out nice, you know?  INSKEEP: You got the drywall up, the sheetrock?  Mr. BORDELON: Oh, yeah. Man, oh, man. Got the TV, the cable in. All of our furniture is pretty much in, you know?  INSKEEP: So just for the record, for people to know, if you happen to have your house completely flooded out by a major hurricane, it only takes you about two years to get back in order.  Mr. BORDELON: Well, maybe three years.  (Soundbite of laughter)  Ms. BORDELON: We still don't have regular telephone service in this area.  INSKEEP: They don't?  Mr. BORDELON: Nope. Still ain't got phone lines yet. They're working on it, though. I'd say another two or three months maybe, you know?  INSKEEP: You said you're still working on the outside of the house?  Mr. BORDELON: Redoing the side (unintelligible) put new side, new gutter cans. I have a propeller marks on the carport, so we had to change the carport, you know?  INSKEEP: Which should remind people, you had your boat parked on top of the carport because that's how high the water was, right?  Mr. BORDELON: Yeah. Right. To get us upstairs, I just rowed the boat right across the carport, you know?  INSKEEP: Now, what about the rest of the neighborhood?  Mr. BORDELON: Oh, it's coming back. I got a couple of friends up the street. They got - one of them put maybe two or three or four of these modular homes.   INSKEEP: And are these people who lived on the street before?  Mr. BORDELON: Some of them, yeah. Some of them did. The one who bought up the street, I don't know who bought the lot or whatever, you know, I don't know who it is yet. But it's where - it's 30, 35 houses away from me - 35 lots away from me, I should say.  INSKEEP: Thirty-five lots. About how many people would you say are actually living in those 35 lots now?  Mr. BORDELON: Right now?  INSKEEP: Yes.  Mr. BORDELON: In the 35 lots? They got, let's see, one, two, three, four - maybe seven of us. Some of them still in FEMA trailers.  INSKEEP: Colleen Bordelon, your family is now settled in Mississippi?  Ms. BORDELON: My family is doing pretty good. The good part was in July we had our 50th birthday party for my sisters and myself. We turned 50 in July.  Mr. BORDELON: Yeah, she's a triplet.  INSKEEP: You're a triplet?  Ms. BORDELON: Yes.  INSKEEP: I had no idea.  Ms. BORDELON: I thought I told you that.   INSKEEP: No. You never told me that.  Ms. BORDELON: Three girls, you know? Two of us look alike. The third one, total opposite - black hair, darker complexion.  INSKEEP: Mmm. Were you all living in New Orleans before the storm, or around it?  Ms. BORDELON: Okay.

Question: Teaching Kids With Autism The Art Of Conversation

Math and numbers are easy for 10-year-old Alex Lee. He can tell you what pi is out to 100 digits. But Alex doesn't do so well with chitchat. On a late fall day, he meets with psychologist Brian Freedman. Alex asks Freedman if he knows how to play the piano. Freedman starts to reply that the two weren't having a conversation about pianos, but Alex interrupts him: "What instrument do you play?" "Hang on," Freedman repeats, "were we talking about me playing the piano?"  "No." "What were we talking about?" Freedman asks again.  "What instrument do you play?" Alex continues.  "Were we talking about me playing instruments?" says Freedman.  Finally, Alex replies, "No." "No," Freedman agrees. Social Studies For children like Alex with autism, social interactions are a struggle. But Freedman is part of a team of researchers at Baltimore's Kennedy Krieger Institute that has developed a course to help these kids improve their social skills. The program is called Building Up Development of Socialization, or BUDS.  Alex says he is doing better than he used to since starting the program several months ago. "I had a perfect week last week," he tells Freedman. "I was never going into the red zone." That refers to a number of behaviors that get Alex in trouble. Alex and several other children with mild autism have been meeting every week with Freedman and autism specialist Elizabeth Stripling. The idea is to teach the social skills that most kids pick up without even thinking about it. Freedman says the gap between kids with autism and other kids isn't so wide when they're in kindergarten. But after that it can become a chasm. The kids in Alex's group are between 10 and 12 years old.  "They're starting to move toward middle school," says Freedman, "and the social rules are changing all around them, and so it's incredibly hard for them to keep up. So that's why we need to have a group like this." Conversation 101  During the sessions, Freedman and Stripling give pointers on how to do things as basic as keeping a conversation going. For instance, they're told, if someone says he likes music, ask what kind of music. Freedman and Stripling remind the kids to make eye contact and listen when someone else is talking. Freedman says it's all about coaching and practice, not just rules. "One of the problems that kids with autism can run into is that when they're taught very rigid rules, they only stick to those rules," Freedman explains. "So we try to help them understand some nuances within interaction." On this November afternoon, only two boys have shown up, Alex and another 10-year-old, named Joseph Santana. A few minutes into the session, Joseph says he wants to talk about something that happened to him. Freedman and Stripling help Alex respond appropriately. "On Sunday, I went to the emergency room," Joseph says.  "Oh, my gosh," Freedman replies.  "Because I couldn't breathe," Joseph continues.  Stripling jumps in: "Oh, my goodness!"  Then Alex takes their cue, "Were you dying or what? So sorry to hear that." Freedman praises Alex for picking up the conversation and asks him what other questions might be appropriate to ask Joseph about his trip to the ER.  It's not completely spontaneous or natural. But Freedman says the conversation shows how far Alex has come. He is clearly listening, and his responses even suggest empathy. And for Joseph, just telling the story is a big achievement. He has trouble communicating with other kids. But he has been trying hard with the children he's met in these sessions. Freedman says the first thing Joseph did after getting out of the hospital was send an e-mail to the entire group. "The e-mail wasn't just to check in and say hi, but it provided context to say that something had happened to him," Freedman says. "The next sentence was followed by, 'I'm OK.' And all of that was followed up by emoticons that showed the feelings that went along with that. So I would say especially for a kid like Joseph, that was tremendous progress."  Joseph grew up loving The History Channel, but hating school. "Kids would pick on him, beat him up. You know, they were really not very kind to him at all," says his mother, Kathleen Santana. When kids at school handed out invitations to birthday parties, Joseph never received any.   "In the beginning he just wasn't aware," Kathleen Santana says. "But now that he is getting older and learning more that that is happening, he is becoming more aware, and I think that is a hurtful situation for him." Eventually, Santana decided to teach Joseph at home. Alex has been doing OK at school. But his father, Hugh Lee, says his son is lonely. "He wants to make friends with other kids. I think it's just a disability in him that he doesn't know how to," says Lee. Final Exam After many weeks of practice, Alex and Joseph are getting ready for a kind of final exam — at the Baltimore aquarium.  The boys spend a December afternoon at the Australia exhibit, checking out  animals and ask

When John Kerry persuaded Hamid Karzai to agree to a run-off election, the New York Times correctly described this victory as "little more than a catastrophe averted." So how do you describe the situation as it exists now, with the run-off called off due to Abdullah Abdullah's withdrawal? I'd say it's a pretty big victory for Karzai, and not just because he's won himself another term. By agreeing to the run-off (and satisfying the U.S.) but then refusing to take the steps necessary to make that run-off fair (and thus failing to satisfy Abdullah), Karzai bought himself some precious time. Remember, until Karzai gave in to Kerry's cajoling, he was on the verge of losing international support, most crucially from the United States. Now, his "victory" is being welcomed by the Obama administration — with David Axelrod going so far as to say that Abdullah "was likely to be defeated anyway." So what's next? Obama administration officials are saying they'll judge Karzai on his appointments and whether he finally cracks down on drugs and corruption. But, of course, it's going to take at least several months before they can make any judgments about those things. And, by that time, it's a good bet that Obama will have already decided to send least some of the additional American troops Karzai so desperately needs and wants. And who knows? Karzai was pretty good at getting out of this jam. If Obama isn't satisfied with Karzai's performance several months from now, Karzai may well be able to get out of that jam, as well.

Question: Songs We Love: ODESZA, 'Line Of Sight'

Ever get the nagging feeling that catastrophic danger is looming and the world could end at any minute? Sure you do, it's 2017! Unsettling as it may be, some would say the only way to get through it is by sticking together. In ODESZA's new, post-apocalyptic, sci-fi music video, that's exactly the takeaway. The video, which accompanies the electronic duo's euphoric new single "Line Of Sight," makes more of a social statement than a political one. A boy wakes up alone in a world of chaos and is forced to find his way. He wanders through lush jungle ruins and abandoned factories while enemy robots and alien spaceships wreak havoc in the distance, before eventually stumbling upon a stray robot who, like him, had been left behind. Finding strength in numbers (or, perhaps more symbolically, common ground), the two join forces, hit the road and agree to take care of each other in the face of impending doom. Harrison Mills, who's one-half of ODESZA with Clayton Knight, says the video illustrates the power of hope and connection. "We may feel like we don't have control over a situation, whether it's technology or government or growing up," he tells NPR, "but through unlikely friendships, we can better understand each other and bridge the gap." The narrative was inspired by classic childhood adventure stories like The Jungle Book and Robinson Crusoe, but with a supernatural spin. "We loved that [director Dan Brown] used such a far-out setting to communicate such relevant, relatable emotions," says Sean Kusanagi, the Seattle electronic duo's longtime creative director. "Ultimately, the song is about having to find your way in a scary world." Like most of ODESZA's songs, "Line Of Sight" is driven by powerful synths and dramatic chord progressions that lend themselves to cinematic treatments. But it's also one of the duo's most vocal-heavy tracks yet, with distinct verses, triumphant choruses and delightfully catchy hooks. While Mills and Knight never really identified with EDM's subwoofer set — their debut album, Summer's Gone, helped usher in a new wave of indie electronic acts that employed a softer touch — they're billing their forthcoming LP, A Moment Apart, as their most melodic, introspective and mature. Says Kusanagi: "They're not the post-college kids anymore ... They've been touring non-stop for the past four years, meeting new people and growing a lot. It represents a maturing."  A Moment Apart comes out Sept. 8 via Counter Records.

It's a packed release week with a whole bunch of notable albums to highlight, including the rock guitar heroics on Ex Hex's It's Real, the wistful wisdom of Jenny Lewis, Andrew Bird's "finest work yet," mind-blowing sonics from the genre-bending composers Emily Wells and Lafawndah, the German electronic artist Apparat and much more.

"['represent this subtitle to find a title that might be right above it on npr.', 'The latest book by Israeli author Amos Oz is A Tale Of Love And Darkness, a memoir of growing up in Jerusalem in the turbulent 1940s and \'50s, when a war-torn Israel was achieving statehood. Oz\'s home life was as intense as the world outside.  The book follows Oz through his mother\'s suicide to a growing interest in politics and writing. Along the way, he chooses a new name for himself -- Oz, the Hebrew word for strength -- over his family\'s name, Klausner. Oz has written many works of fiction and non-fiction, including  A Perfect Peace and To Know a Woman. He is a professor of literature at Israel\'s Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. He has been honored with the French Prix Femina and the 1992 Frankfurt Peace Prize. from the First Chapter of \'A Tale Of Love And Darkness\': I was born and bred in a tiny, low-ceilinged ground-floor apartment. My parents slept on a sofa bed that filled their room almost from wall to wall when it was opened up each evening. Early every morning they used to shut away this bed deep into itself, hide the bedclothes in the chest underneath, turn the mattress over, press it all tight shut, and conceal the whole under a light gray cover, then scatter a few embroidered oriental cushions on top, so that all evidence of their night\'s sleep disappeared. In this way their bedroom also served as study, library, dining room, and living room. Opposite this room was my little green room, half taken up with a big-bellied wardrobe. A narrow, low passage, dark and slightly curved, like an escape tunnel from a prison, linked the little kitchenette and toilet to these two small rooms. A lightbulb imprisoned in an iron cage cast a gloomy half-light on this passage even during the daytime. At the front both rooms had just a single window, guarded by metal blinds, squinting to catch a glimpse of the view to the east but seeing only a dusty cypress tree and a low wall of roughly dressed stones. Through a tiny opening high up in their back walls the kitchenette and toilet peered out into a little prison yard surrounded by high walls and paved with concrete, where a pale geranium planted in a rusty olive can was gradually dying for want of a single ray of sunlight. On the sills of these tiny openings we always kept jars of pickles and a stubborn cactus in a cracked vase that served as a flowerpot. It was actually a basement apartment, as the ground floor of the building had been hollowed out of the rocky hillside. This hill was our next-door neighbor, a heavy, introverted, silent neighbor, an old, sad hill with the regular habits of a bachelor, a drowsy, still wintry hill, which never scraped the furniture or entertained guests, never made a noise or disturbed us, but through the walls there seeped constantly toward us, like a faint yet persistent musty smell, the cold, dark silence and dampness of this melancholy neighbor. Consequently through the summer there was always a hint of winter in our home. Visitors would say: It\'s always so pleasant here in a heat wave, so cool and fresh, really chilly, but how do you manage in the winter? Don\'t the walls let in the damp? Don\'t you find it depressing? Books filled our home. My father could read sixteen or seventeen languages and could speak eleven (all with a Russian accent). My mother spoke four or five languages and read seven or eight. They conversed in Russian or Polish when they did not want me to understand. (Which was most of the time. When my mother referred to a stallion in Hebrew in my hearing, my father rebuked her furiously in Russian: Shto s toboi?! Vidish malchik ryadom s nami!-What\'s the matter with you? You can see the boy\'s right here!) Out of cultural considerations they mostly read books in German or English, and presumably they dreamed in Yiddish. But the only language they taught me was Hebrew. Maybe they feared that a knowledge of languages would expose me too to the blandishments of Europe, that wonderful, murderous continent. On my parents\' scale of values, the more Western something was, the more cultured it was considered. For all that Tolstoy and Dostoevsky were dear to their Russian souls, I suspect that Germany-despite Hitler-seemed to them more cultured than Russia or Poland, and France more so than Germany. England stood even higher on their scale than France. As for America, there they were not so sure: after all, it was a country where people shot at Indians, held up mail trains, chased gold, and hunted girls. Europe for them was a forbidden promised land, a yearned-for landscape of belfries and squares paved with ancient flagstones, of trams and bridges and church spires, remote villages, spa towns, forests, and snow-covered meadows. Words like "cottage," "meadow," or "goose girl" excited and seduced me all through my childhood. They had the sensual aroma of a genuine, cozy world, far from the dusty tin roofs, the urban wasteland of scrap iron and thistles, the parched hillsides of our Jerusalem suffocating under the weight']" == "['represent this short title to find a subtitle that might be right below it on npr', 'Growing Up with Israel: Writer Amos Oz']"

Question: Baltimore Beatings Similar to 'Jena Six' Case?

Represent this subtitle to find a title that might be right above it on NPR:

Lee, here... I would argue that many of you have heard something about the story that lead our broadcast today -- a woman, Sarah Kreager, according to authorities, was terribly beaten while riding public transportation in Baltimore. But, perhaps it's fairer to note that many are expressing frustration over why this story hasn't been covered more in the news. At a glance, it seems to have all the elements of a headline story, with tense undertones -- a white woman is severely beaten, allegedly at the hands of black teenagers. (Kreager's companion, along with the black driver who came to her defense on the bus, were also allegedly assaulted.) Black leaders, such as Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon and U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), have strongly denounced the attack, as might be expected. But is it fair to compare what happened in Baltimore -- either looking at the facts (many of which are still unclear), or just public sentiment -- to the situation in Jena, La.? Are folks quicker to assume this was a hate crime because of the perceived racial dynamics at work? Interesting to note: At this point, hate crime charges have not been filed in the "Jena Six" ordeal (the timeline of those incidents includes the hanging of a noose), nor in the Baltimore case. Since news of the attacks on Kreager and others on December 4th, more incidents have surfaced involving patrons of public transportation in Baltimore. We want to know where you come out on this. Before our reporting today, were you familiar with the story in Baltimore? If so, what was your initial reaction? ... Racially motivated, or a random, unfortunate attack on the innocent?
