Question: Soundtracks: Music and Film

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

This past week, composer John Williams joined National Symphony Orchestra conductor Leonard Slatkin at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., to open a multi-concert series "Soundtracks: Music and Film." NPR's Liane Hansen visited with the two musicians. Hansen says the bookshelves in Slatkin's Kennedy Center office hold quite a few classical music CDs, as you might expect. But the number of concert and symphony recordings are outnumbered by videotapes and DVDs. Slatkin's interest in Hollywood comes naturally. His father, Felix, was concertmaster of the 20th Century Fox Orchestra, and his mother, Eleanor, was a long-time studio musician. Slatkin thinks highly of film music. "It's always been part of the very good stuff," he says. He hopes the Kennedy Center festival can establish "a different positioning of music for films among concert-goers... If we play love music from Romeo and Juliet of Berlioz, why can't there be love music from Star Wars?" In fact, the score for Star Wars won composer Williams one of his five Academy Awards. (The others arrived for Fiddler on the Roof, Jaws, E.T. and Schindler's List.) He has a string of more than 30 Oscar nominations that stretch all the way back to Valley of the Dolls in 1968. Oddly enough, early in his career, Williams played in the same studio orchestra with Slatkin's mother. Williams acknowledges the computer technology that has transformed film and music, but says "the piano is my tool." He has a projection room in his studio, and moves back and forth between the film and the piano, establishing what he calls "an intimate relationship with the film." The series, which touches on music in European films, a broad range of American classics, and the art of synchronization, also features live accompaniment for Fritz Lang's classic 1926 silent film Metropolis.

Question: Scientists Get Closer To Redefining The Length Of A Second

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

Scientists are inching one step closer toward redefining the length of a second. To do that, they're using atomic clocks. Atomic clocks, which look like a jumble of lasers and wires, work by tapping into the natural oscillation of atoms, with each atom "ticking" at a different speed. Modern conveniences including cellphones, the Internet and GPS are all made possible through the ticking of atomic clocks. "Every time you want to find your location on the planet, you're asking what time it is from an atomic clock that sits in the satellite that is our GPS system," Colin Kennedy, a physicist at the Boulder Atomic Clock Optical Network (BACON) Collaboration, tells NPR's All Things Considered. The worldwide standard atomic clocks have for decades been based on cesium atoms — which tick about 9 billion times per second. But newer atomic clocks based on other elements tick much faster — meaning it's possible to divide a second into tinier and tinier slices. These newer atomic clocks are 100 times more accurate than the cesium clock. But it was important to compare them to each other — to "make sure that a clock built here in Boulder is the same as a clock built in Paris, as in London, as in Tokyo," he says. "Ultimately, the goal is to redefine the second in terms of a more accurate and precise standard, something that we can make more accurate and more precise measurements with," Kennedy says. That means having a clock that if set back billions of years to the beginning of the universe would only be off by a second, adds physicist Jun Ye, who was also involved in the collaboration. As the scientists with BACON, which includes researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder and the National Institute of Standards and Technology, wrote in the science journal Nature last week, they compared three next-generation atomic clocks that use different elements: aluminum, strontium and ytterbium. The scientists shot a laser beam through the air in efforts to connect their clocks, which are housed in two separate laboratories in Boulder, Colo. They also used an optical fiber cable. "It was a fun experiment for sure," Ye tells NPR. "And it's by all measures actually very safe, and very much out of the way for people's daily life." What resulted is a more accurate comparison of these types of atomic clocks than ever before.  Ye says networks of clocks like this could also be used as super-sensitive sensors — to possibly detect a passing wave of dark matter, and to test Einstein's theory of relativity. Farah Eltohamy is NPR's Digital News intern.

Question: Simone and ... Simone: The Great Nina and Daughter

Last week, we spoke with singer Simone (whose legal name is Lisa Simone Kelly) about her first album, Simone on Simone. Her mother is the inimitable Nina Simone, a woman who traveled from the segregated South to concert halls and stages around the world, and finally left the United States in disgust over what she saw as naked racism. Her daughter, Simone, said she was fierce "from the rooter to the tooter" -- a woman who never marched to anyone else's beat. But her beat lives on. Her work is now remixed by hip electronica DJs and sampled by hip hop artists including Talib Kweli ("Sinnerman") and Common featuring Kanye West ("Misunderstood"). And you'll still hear the originals of plenty of her songs, from "Young Gifted and Black" to "My Baby Just Cares for Me" (which was part of a famous, languidly sensual, Chanel No. 5 advertisement). And Nina Simone also sang a very different kind of song... "Mississippi Goddam," which she wrote to protest the tragedies of the civil rights era, including the murder of four girls in the church bombing in Birmingham. Simone told us a bit about her mother's journey in singing "Missippi Goddamn," a portion of the interview we could not include on air. Take a listen by clicking the link above. Of course, in addition to to Nina Simone, her daughter Simone is a talent in her own right ... as her new album reveals.

For example, '['Represent this text to find its subtitle about the same news but with slightly more depth.', "Card by Card, Stride by Stride, It's an Unthrilling Run"]' should have a representation like '['Represent this subtitle to find a title that might be right above it on NPR.', 'Competition figures in two new movies — 21, about college students trying to beat the odds in Las Vegas, and Run Fatboy Run, which centers on a man trying to beat a romantic rival in a marathon. This being Hollywood, everybody wins — except maybe the audience.  At the outset of 21, a boyishly brilliant math student joins other collegiate brainiacs in an extracurricular activity. It involves the world\'s most popular card game — blackjack — and a card-counting scheme. And for the next 90 minutes or so, counting cards is basically all they\'re gonna do, and though this "action" comes accompanied by much snapping of aces on green felt and many urgent electronic swooshes, the unfortunate truth is that our heroes are using a system that\'s basically impenetrable.   Now, I don\'t know, maybe all this is thrilling, and I\'m just not getting it. Certainly there\'s an attractive young cast. And, card-counting being frowned upon by casinos, there are disguises involved, not to mention a certain amount of snarling from  Laurence Fishburn and Kevin Spacey, which lends a bit of tension.  But because the director knows there\'s a limit to how exciting he can make the sight of cards being turned over, most of the film is taken up with explaining what\'s happening, or is going to happen, or has just happened. Which may be enough to keep audiences from heading for the nearest slot machine, but at best, 21 is a sort of collegiate Ocean\'s 16 — with dimmer stars and less oomph. Run Fatboy Run, on the other hand, feels like a souped-up sitcom — which makes a certain amount of sense, as it\'s directed by former Friends actor David Schwimmer.  The premise? An out-of-shape security guard decides that the way to win back the bride he left standing pregnant at the altar is to compete in a London marathon against her rich new marathon-running American boyfriend. Simon Pegg is the runaway groom, Hank Azaria the long-distance interloper. Now, Pegg is an appealing leading man, and he\'s been given a couple of sitcom-worthy sidekicks to help him through a training regimen that leads, inevitably perhaps, to much ado about blisters.  But Run Fatboy Run seems content to trot amiably past its plot points — and also past graceful leading lady Thandie Newton, who never breaks a sweat — to an overlong, overblown marathon finale with an over-prominent Nike plug.  For a movie about fleet-footed athletes, Schwimmer\'s direction is, well, pedestrian — but then it\'s not his fault that the material is kind of lame. ROBERT SIEGEL, host:  Competition figures in two new movies in very different ways.

The news is looking wet this morning, as Tropical Storm Ernesto begins its reign on the very dry East Coast. And since we're speaking of weather, we should note that on Tuesday, Morning Edition will look at the impact of the summer's drought across the country, including a status report on the Corn Palace of Mitchell, S. D. Because the Webcam just doesn't give enough information on how the lack of moisture has affected that rococo cornucopialace. Politicians sure hate leaks. We'll be following up on the revelation in a forthcoming book by Michael Isikoff and David Corn about the case called "Plamegate." Who whispered to columnist Robert Novak that the wife of Joseph Wilson was a covert CIA agent? Their candidate is Richard Armitage, Deputy Secretary of State in 2003. We hear that politicians aren't too crazy about reality checks, either. All Things Considered will contrast the announcement from Gen. George Casey, the top military man in Iraq, with the scene on the ground. He said this week that the country's security forces will be taking over from coalition troops over the next year to 18 months. Yet the past week was one of the worst in memory for violence in Iraq. The program will also feature an interview with John Negroponte, director of National Intelligence and former U.S. ambassador to Iraq. New York City is facing reality -- at last. Five years after the Sept. 11 attacks, the city just released guidelines for diseases caused by the fallout -- everything from respiratory problems to mental health issues. All Things Considered will cover the story. You may think you've left reality if you look up at the moon on Saturday night (assuming skies are clear) and see a spark. No, Moon Maid isn't having an end-of-summer bonfire. A European spacecraft is finishing up its mission (to test systems and instruments, in case you were wondering) by crashing into the moon.

Question: LeBron James Becomes Youngest NBA Player To Join 30,000-Point Club

Heading into last night's game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the San Antonio Spurs, LeBron James needed seven points to reach the 30,000 career point milestone. He finished the game with 28 points. While that was more than enough to get James into the club, it was not however enough for the Cavaliers to win the game. The Spurs won 114-102 in San Antonio. James became the seventh player with 30,000 career points when he hit a jumper with one second left in the first quarter. In addition, James became the first NBA player to add 7,000 rebounds and 7,000 assists to his point total. He was recognized by the arena before the second quarter and got a standing ovation from Spurs fans. James patted his heart and said "thank you so much." ESPN reports on his reaction to the career event:  "Just a special moment," James said after the game. "I just started thinking about everything. My journey from being a kid who first picked up a basketball when I was 5 years old to playing organized basketball when I was 9 all the way up to this point. "I give a lot of thanks to a lot of people. This is a special moment. It's something I never set out to do. I'm not even a score-first guy when it comes to playing basketball. I love getting my teammates involved and seeing my teammates be excited about scoring and me getting the assist and things of that nature."  James is not known for being a scorer, but "[dominating] in all facets --rebounding, assisting, defending, getting some blocked shots...," explained James. He has averaged 27.1 points a game since he began playing in the league in 2003, at the age of 18 and right out of high school. The 14-time All-Star is also the youngest person to join the prestigious point club. He's done it all at the age of 33 years and 24 days. He bested Kobe Bryant, who was 34 years and 104 days when he reached the mark. Others on the points' list are: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (38,387 points), Karl Malone (36,928), Kobe Bryant (33,643), Michael Jordan (32,292), Wilt Chamberlain (31,419) and Dirk Nowitzki (30,808). The complete list of participants for the NBA's All-Star Game on Feb. 18 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles was unveiled Tuesday night. James will be the captain for the Eastern Conference and Stephen Curry will head the Western Conference.

For example, '['represent this subtitle to find a title that might be right above it on npr', 'Following a trio of Republican campaign announcements last week, Ben Carson leaps to the top spot of GOP presidential candidates in the latest Fox News poll tied with presumed GOP front-runner Jeb Bush. Carson, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee all entered the race for the Republican nomination early last week, but none has seen as dramatic a bump as the retired neurosurgeon. Both Bush and Carson sit atop the Fox poll at 13 percent each among Republican primary voters. That\'s a seven-point bounce for Carson who was at just 6 percent in the same poll in April. The poll comes amid Bush\'s shifting statements on whether he would have authorized the Iraq War. Being tied to the unpopular war, launched by his older brother President George. W. Bush, would be a potential liability to the former Florida governor\'s yet-to-be-launched bid for the Oval Office. This issue, however, likely had little impact on the Fox poll, which wrapped its surveying of respondents Tuesday, just a day after his interview with Fox\'s Megyn Kelly, in which he said he would have authorized the war even knowing what we know now. He reversed that stance Thursday. Carson is largely unknown among all respondents – 49 percent said they had "never heard of" the retired pediatric neurosurgeon. Still, he was viewed more favorably than not among those who had heard of him by a 26 to 16 percent margin. Meanwhile, it\'s the opposite for Bush. Only 9 percent had never heard of him, but he\'s viewed more negatively than positively by a 44 to 37 percent margin. Fiorina and Ohio Gov. John Kasich were even less known among all voters with 58 percent saying they did not know or were unsure of Fiorina and 63 percent saying so of Kasich. Kasich has yet to announce whether he will make a run for the White House in 2016. Rounding out the top five presidential nominees likely Republican primary voters would endorse were Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (11 percent), Huckabee (10 percent) and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio (9 percent). Of this group, only Walker has not officially gotten in the race, but it is widely anticipated he will. Of those surveyed, 46 percent say they have not heard of Scott Walker. Huckabee was the top second-choice pick for Republican voters (11 percent) followed by Bush, Paul and Cruz (all with 10 percent).']' should be close to '['Represent this text to find its subtitle about the same news but with slightly more depth', 'Now, Ben Carson Leads In A Republican Poll']'

There were sociological tomes with grandiose titles like A General Theory of Bureaucracy, The Politics of Bureaucracy, or even The Bureaucratization of the World, and popular paperback screeds with titles like Parkinson's Law, The Peter Principle, or Bureaucrats: How to Annoy Them. There were Kafkaesque novels, and satirical films. Everyone seemed to feel that the foibles and absurdities of bureaucratic life and bureaucratic procedures were one of the defining features of modern existence, and as such, eminently worth discussing. But since the seventies, there has been a peculiar falling off. Consider, for example, the following table, which diagrams how frequently the word "bureaucracy" appears in books written in English over the last century and a half. A subject of only moderate interest until the postwar period, it shoots into prominence starting in the fifties and then, after a pinnacle in 1973, begins a slow but inexorable decline. Why? Well, one obvious reason is that we've just become accustomed to it. Bureaucracy has become the water in which we swim. Now let's imagine another graph, one that simply documented the average number of hours per year a typical American—or a Briton, or an inhabitant of Thailand—spent filling out forms or otherwise fulfilling purely bureaucratic obligations. (Needless to say, the overwhelming majority of these obligations no longer involve actual, physical paper.) This graph would almost certainly show a line much like the one in the first graph—a slow climb until 1973. But here the two graphs would diverge—rather than falling back, the line would continue to climb; if anything, it would do so more precipitously, tracking how, in the late twentieth century, middle-class citizens spent ever more hours struggling with phone trees and web interfaces, while the less fortunate spent ever more hours of their day trying to jump through the increasingly elaborate hoops required to gain access to dwindling social services. I imagine such a graph would look something like this: This is not a graph of hours spent on paperwork, just of how often the word "paperwork" has been used in English-language books. But absent time machines that could allow us to carry out a more direct investigation, this is about as close as we're likely to get. By the way, most similar paperwork-related terms yield almost identical results: We no longer like to think about bureaucracy, yet it informs every aspect of our existence. It's as if, as a planetary civilization, we have decided to clap our hands over our ears and start humming whenever the topic comes up. Insofar as we are even willing to discuss it, it's still in the terms popular in the sixties and early seventies. The social movements of the sixties were, on the whole, left-wing in inspiration, but they were also rebellions against bureaucracy, or, to put it more accurately, rebellions against the bureaucratic mindset, against the soul-destroying conformity of the postwar welfare states. In the face of the gray functionaries of both state-capitalist and state-socialist regimes, sixties rebels stood for individual expression and spontaneous conviviality, and against ("rules and regulations, who needs them?") every form of social control. With the collapse of the old welfare states, all this has come to seem decidedly quaint. As the language of antibureaucratic individualism has been adopted, with increasing ferocity, by the Right, which insists on "market solutions" to every social problem, the mainstream Left has increasingly reduced itself to fighting a kind of pathetic rearguard action, trying to salvage remnants of the old welfare state: it has acquiesced with—often even spearheaded—attempts to make government efforts more "efficient" through the partial privatization of services and the incorporation of ever-more "market principles," "market incentives," and market-based "accountability processes" into the structure of the bureaucracy itself. The result is a political catastrophe. There's really no other way to put it. What is presented as the "moderate" Left solution to any social problems—and radical left solutions are, almost everywhere now, ruled out tout court—has invariably come to be some nightmare fusion of the worst elements of bureaucracy and the worst elements of capitalism. It's as if someone had consciously tried to create the least appealing possible political position. It is a testimony to the genuine lingering power of leftist ideals that anyone would even consider voting for a party that promoted this sort of thing—because surely, if they do, it's not because they actually think these are good policies, but because these are the only policies anyone who identifies themselves as left-of-center is allowed to set forth. Is there any wonder, then, that every time t

Question: Supporters Of Brazil's Bolsonaro Call For Protests Against Coronavirus Lockdown

Right-wing groups in Brazil are summoning their supporters onto the streets to demand that their country returns to work, and ends mass lockdowns imposed to reduce the spread of the coronavirus. This follows a highly controversial campaign against shutdowns by Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who believes mass closures will cause more economic devastation and suffering than the virus itself. On Thursday, the number of COVID-19 deaths in Brazil rose by 20 to 77 — the country's biggest jump so far — while confirmed cases went up by 482 to 2,915, according to Brazil's Health Ministry. Groups sympathetic to the president are circulating posts mainly on WhatsApp and Twitter, calling on people to leave their homes and join motorcades protesting the closure of nonessential businesses and schools that has brought life to a near standstill in some areas, including São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. "We are not going to die of hunger," says one of the posts advertising a rally Friday. Another calls for the mobilization of business owners, store keepers, drivers for ride-hailing companies and others this weekend. Similar motorcade protests were also held on Thursday in several smaller cities, according Brazilian media reports. Bolsonaro has repeatedly dismissed the coronavirus threat as "exaggerated," arguing that people over 60 are the at-risk group that should be isolated, but that most Brazilians suffer few or no symptoms and should continue to work. Brazilians "never catch anything," the president said Thursday. "A guy jumps in the sewer, comes out, dives in, and nothing happens." Earlier this week, Bolsonaro, 65, declared that if infected he would only suffer "at most a little flu" because of his "history as an athlete." If the motorcade protests produce a large turnout, they will intensify the acrimonious conflict between Bolsonaro and most of Brazil's 27 governors and many mayors, who see social isolation as the best approach and are lobbying the president for federal funds to offset the crisis. Bolsonaro's stance has been condemned as dangerous and irresponsible by multiple health professionals and scientists who warn that the pandemic threatens to quickly overwhelm Brazil's underequipped health system. In urban areas, many Brazilians have protested against the president every night for more than a week, by clattering pots and pans from their windows. Among his leading opponents is João Doria, the governor of São Paulo, a state of about 45 million people and the nation's economic engine. Millions of people are confining themselves to their homes after Doria imposed a swath of restrictions, shutting down nonessential businesses, including movie theaters, bars and theaters, and cutting back transport links.

Question: Zoom Towns And The New Housing Market For The 2 Americas

Editor's note: This is an excerpt of Planet Money's newsletter. You can sign up here. Truckee, Calif., is a mountain town just northwest of Lake Tahoe. It is sort of an outdoorsy paradise. It has great skiing, mountain biking and hiking opportunities, as well as a river and lakes. It also has some great restaurants and a budding art scene. And if you're a Bay Area resident in the market for a house, it has another thing going for it: It has a median home price that's roughly half that of San Francisco, about three hours away. Like a lot of other vacation destinations —  the Hamptons, Cape Cod, Aspen and so on — the Truckee housing market is booming during the coronavirus pandemic. It's up over 23% since last year, according to data from Redfin, a real estate brokerage. Truckee is part of a trend that realtors and journalists are calling "Zoom towns," places that are booming as remote work takes off.  But Zoom towns aren't the only places where home prices are booming. Pretty much everywhere except Manhattan and San Francisco — places where home prices had already reached historic peaks — it's a great time if you want to sell your house. "Right now, national home prices are up 8% from this time last year, so quite a big increase," says Daryl Fairweather, the chief economist of Redfin.  With historic levels of unemployment and mounting business bankruptcies, this housing boom is a bit mind-boggling. But it's kind of the perfect symbol of two Americas in the age of the pandemic recession.  The boom First, the happy America. The boom. As we reported on our daily podcast The Indicator, the housing boom is fed by low interest rates, millennials reaching home-buying age and a demand for more space. Many Americans — especially 30-somethings who remain employed — are ditching their tiny rental apartments in hip districts of expensive cities and moving to buy houses in more affordable cities or the burbs for a life of shopping at Home Depot and spending their Friday nights eating mozzarella sticks at Applebee's.   "If you look at basically any metropolitan area, you see the most price competition on the outskirts of that area and the least in the city center," Fairweather says. Spacious, single-family homes are particularly in demand. We're not witnessing the death of cities — in fact, most cities are seeing a boom in home prices too — but with remote work freeing many people from daily commutes, people are increasingly deciding that it's OK to live farther away from what used to be the office. You can see it in Redfin's data, which show more searches and higher price increases in suburban and rural housing markets.  The boom gets slightly less rosy, though, when you consider why national home prices are surging. It's in large part because there's not a lot of new construction and because existing homeowners don't want to sell. "There's a tremendous shortage of homes on the market," says Jeff Tucker, an economist at Zillow. "We see about 29% fewer homes that are actively listed compared to this time last year."  Part of the imbalance between home buying and selling, Tucker says, may be that sellers tend to be older — and with a pandemic still raging, many may not be eager to move and risk their health. Meanwhile, a large number of them are taking advantage of COVID-19 mortgage forbearance policies, which free them to not pay their mortgage during the crisis. "Still over 7% of active mortgages are in forbearance," Tucker says.  So that's the market for buying and selling homes. The sort of happy story, considering it's 2020 and everything is horrible. Where it gets more depressing is when you look at the other America. The one that rents.  The gloom "On the rental side, that's where we really see the shortfall in demand you would expect in a recession," Tucker says. "There's a huge shortfall in rental demand right now." Vacancy rates are climbing in cities around the United States.  In normal times, it would be good news that rents have stopped rocketing and are even falling significantly in cities like San Francisco and New York after a long period of astronomical increases. This seems to be playing out much differently than during the last recession, when home prices plummeted but rents did not. But the emptying of apartments and the fall of rents is because of the pandemic and the collapse of employment, especially in the in-person service sector in U.S. cities. Almost 30 million Americans are currently receiving some form of unemployment insurance benefits. For many renters, this government assistance and the Trump administration's recent order through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to halt evictions through December are the only tenuous threads in a housing safety net.  Well, not the only threads in the safety net. Family also helps. According to research from Zillow, almost 3 million adults moved in with their parents or grandparents during the pandemic. This influx was largely 18- to 25-year-old

Question: As Biden Prepares To Take Office, FDR's Presidential Transition Offers Lessons

represent the subtitle to find a news title on npr with less details.

When President-elect Joe Biden addressed the nation Monday evening, he said the word "democracy" nine times. He accused President Trump of "an unprecedented assault on our democracy," declared that "democracy prevailed" and in his final words said: "May God protect our troops and all those who stand watch over our democracy." The speech came after the Electoral College confirmed his election victory, a result unchanged by weeks of court challenges. It also pointed to a larger theme of his coming presidency. Biden has vowed to rescue democratic institutions from partisan dysfunction. He has pledged to be the president for all Americans — a population that includes Americans who voted for Donald Trump because they felt the system was failing, and also Americans who felt Trump was a symptom of its failure. How might Biden restore faith in that system? He may be able to draw some lessons from a president Biden often says he wants to emulate: Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Biden, his staff and his surrogates have publicly compared their challenge to those facing FDR, when the 32nd president assumed office. This moment, Biden said on CNN on December 4, was "not unlike what happened in 1932," the year of FDR's election in the middle of the Great Depression. Then, as now, Biden said, many Americans have "real anxiety" about their place in a changing economy. FDR historian Robert Dallek says that Roosevelt himself saw his challenge as a fight for democracy. Dallek notes that "in the early 1930s, you had a rising crescendo" of authoritarianism as countries around the world struggled with economic collapse. Adolf Hitler rose to power in previously democratic Germany. The Soviet Union seemed like "a model for how to deal with economic difficulties" with a state-controlled economy. "There was a lot of sentiment that maybe this was what the United States needed to do and to move on from democracy," Dallek says, "but Roosevelt would never go there." Roosevelt's New Deal economic programs restored confidence in banks and other key institutions, put millions of unemployed Americans to work and established durable social programs such as Social Security. And then, the United States turned its industrial might to crushing Nazism and fascism in World War II. "What gives [FDR] such a commanding place in history is the fact that he was right," Dallek says. Roosevelt's efforts were not universally embraced. The New Deal generated fierce conservative opposition. Dallek says that Republican-leaning newspapers wrote that "Roosevelt was actually killing democracy, and that he was setting up an authoritarian bureaucratic state." The Supreme Court's conservative majority also struck down several of FDR's initiatives. After defeats in court, Roosevelt floated an idea that proved deeply unpopular: the "court-packing" plan of 1937, which would have allowed FDR to appoint additional justices in line with his views. "It was seen as an attack upon the country's checks and balances and the traditional system of maintaining democracy," Dallek says. According to Dallek, FDR was more successful when he deliberately pursued popular initiatives; he rarely approved any action that he felt would be a close call with the public. But this led to some of the darkest compromises of his more than 12 years in power. Majority rule in the 1930s meant bending to Southern segregationists; New Deal housing programs were segregated, with damaging effects on Black homeownership and wealth that have persisted for generations. When Jews fled Germany in the 1930s, FDR's administration offered little support. He deferred to anti-Jewish, anti-immigrant and isolationist sentiment. After World War II began in 1939, Roosevelt waited for years to enter the fight, knowing that he lacked an overwhelming majority of public support. The United States remained officially neutral until December 1941, when Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor united the country in favor of war. So what lessons could Joe Biden draw from FDR? "He has to command the airwaves," Dallek says. "However he moves forward, he has to be mindful of bringing the public along with him."  With the seriousness of the challenges ahead of him, bringing the public along may not be enough for Biden. But these circumstances aren't necessarily as unprecedented as they seem.  "It's not so far removed from what Franklin Roosevelt faced," Dallek says. "He understood, as he said in his '33 inaugural address, '[This nation is asking] for action and action now.'  And I think the same adage will be in the forefront of Joe Biden's mind."

Question: Air, Ground Forces Repel New Raids in Baghdad

The sounds of cannon from American Apache helicopters woke Baghdad Friday morning. They circled the city firing into the streets where Sunni and Shiite gunmen were fighting. The Sunnis had attacked the Iraqi Health Ministry, which is controlled by Shiites loyal to radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr.  Sadr's militia, the Mehdi Army, is believed to be responsible for much of the sectarian violence in Baghdad. The fighting was just the latest battle as sectarian lines are drawn neighborhood by neighborhood in the Iraqi capital. For the most part, Sunnis are concentrated on the west bank of the Tigris River, and Shiites on the east. But the Adhimiya district on the eastern shore of the river is the site of the holiest Sunni shrine in Baghdad. Sunnis living there have waged a relentless campaign to retain their hold over the area. The Health Ministry is located astride one of the main roads leading into Adhamiya. Shiite militiamen now man checkpoints around the ministry and nearby. Gun battles between the militiamen and Sunni militants are now a daily occurrence. Driver Jasim Hussein, 31, lives in Sleikh, a mixed neighborhood sandwiched between Adhamiya and the health ministry. He takes the long way home these days to avoid the Iraqi commandos who've set up at the entrance to his district. He says the commandos are really shiite militiamen who operate as death squads. "We can't use that road anymore," says Hussein. "Because there are checkpoints on the way, and they take you and kill you if they know you are going to Sleikh." When Shiite militias attack his neighborhood, Hussein says, the police commandos at the checkpoints join in. He says the residents of Sleikh rely on American troops to stave off disaster in the area: "The Americans come to our neighborhood all the time," he says. "They even tell us to shoot the Shiite militia and the commandos when they come into the neighborhood... but don't shoot the Americans or the National Guard. We don't shoot them, we are fed up with death and killings. Every house has lost someone." The latest weapon of choice for both sides in these urban battles is the mortar. Hussein says Shiite militias fire them at Sunni areas like Adhamiya and that the Shiite police and commandos stationed nearby join in. A sergeant in the commandos, Ibrahim Nadir, acknowledges that they have joined Shiite militias attacking Sunni neighborhoods. And it eats at him. "I am a Shiite," he says. "I am a Shiite but I believe in God. What we are doing is wrong." Across the river in the Shiite district of Kadhmiya it's the same story, but there it is Shiites who are targeted. Housewife Hasna al-Roubai'e says she herds her four children into a room at the back of the house whenever she hears mortar rounds strike Adhamiya. She knows retaliation will certainly follow. "We've had enough of the mortars," she says. "Whenever Adhamiya is hit they hit back at Kadhimya. If they are hit with one mortar they hit us with three." Kadhmiya is also home to a sacred shrine. But there it is a Shiite mosque. Like Adhamiya's Sunni mosque, it is also fiercely guarded. Al Roubai'e says the Shiite militiamen are welcome in her neighborhood because they protect residents when the police don't. She says Sunnis firing at Kadhimya strike at civilians not at militiamen. "Is all of Kadmiya militia?" She asks. "Are all the women and children militia? Why have things changed? We used to be like brothers and sisters us and the people in Adhamiya." She blames the presence of American troops for the attacks, but says that even if the U.S. troops left, the two sides would still fight. "The U.S. should leave Iraq, then the Shiites and Sunnis can sit together and try to settle it, or have a civil war for a year or two, then they will reconcile." U.S. military spokesmen confirm the increased use of mortars by the warring sides here. They also acknowledge that Baghdad is gradually being divided into distinct Sunni and Shiite enclaves.

Question: Coronavirus Cases Are Surging. The Contact Tracing Workforce Is Not

The United States needs as many as 100,000 contact tracers to fight the pandemic, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told Congress in June. We need billions of dollars to fund them, public health leaders pleaded in April. But in August, with coronavirus cases increasing in more than half of states, America has neither the staff nor the resources to be able to trace the contacts of every new case — a key step in the COVID-19 public health response.  Contact tracers call each person who has just tested positive and track down their contacts to inform them of their risk so they can quarantine. They also often connect people with services in order to safely isolate. It takes workers, time and organization, but it's proven effective in controlling infectious diseases. Despite some enthusiasm about contact tracing early in the pandemic, the U.S. contact tracing workforce continues to fall short of projected need. NPR's latest survey of all 50 states, done in collaboration with the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, finds the national workforce has barely grown since mid June. NPR's previous survey found a total contact tracing workforce of 37,110.  The new survey finds that as of the end of July, 45 states and Washington D.C., reported a workforce of 41,122. The real total is likely higher, since several states did not respond, despite multiple requests, and 12 states indicated that their counts exclude county and local staff. More than two-thirds of states are using a bank of trained reserve staff to pick up contact tracing duties as needed; the 7,580 number of reserve staff is a third smaller than it was six weeks ago. Eleven states said that their contact tracing workforce includes unpaid volunteers. "Slow-ish growth" is how Danielle Allen describes these workforce numbers. She's director of the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University, and a co-author of a handbook of COVID-19 policy. "We've only gotten halfway to our national goal for the amount of personnel we should have in place," she says. "One-hundred thousand [contact tracers] is the baseline the country needs and should always have going forward — forever. COVID or no COVID." Crystal Watson of the Center for Health Security, who collaborated with NPR on the survey, agrees. "Contact tracing seems to have stalled — or become less of a priority in many places," she says. "That is — in a lot of cases — understandable, given the case numbers that we're seeing, but I think it's still very important to have these workforces in place." Only three states — Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont — along with Washington, D.C., currently have enough workers to investigate their coronavirus cases, according to an NPR analysis of how contact tracing staffing matches up with need.  Three more states — Michigan, Montana and Hawaii — have enough when reserve staff are included. And 39 states do not have enough. The analysis, based on state case counts over the past 14 days, was done using the Contact Tracing Workforce Estimator developed by The Fitzhugh Mullan Institute for Health Workforce Equity at the George Washington University. As in June, NPR assumed workers are calling 10 contacts per case and that tracers reach 45% of contacts and follow up with them every other day. It's a conservative estimate, to reflect the real-world challenges health workers face. Case surges and testing delays hinder efforts High case counts in many states across the country are likely contributing to staffing shortfalls. In Texas, Florida and California, for instance, NPR's analysis suggests around 30,000 contact tracers would be needed in each state to keep up with the current spread. "It's unreasonable to expect that sort of workforce," Watson says. "What is really needed right now is for political leaders to take action to flatten the curve again — bringing those case numbers down to a place where we can meet the demand with the capacity for contact tracing." Nine states reported that they have had to adjust contact tracing operations because of a surge in cases or testing delays. Under those conditions, it's much more difficult for health workers to identify people who might be infectious and prevent them from exposing others.  "Increasing case counts and turn around times are hindering our ability to slow the spread through contact tracing," Jane Yackley of the Tennessee Department of Health, wrote in response to NPR's survey. By NPR's analysis, Tennessee would need seven times more contact tracers to keep up with the current amount of transmission. Watson says she's been hearing a lot of hopelessness from public health workers in recent weeks. "I think public health officials are exhausted and very discouraged and they feel like some officials are pointing to contact tracing as a failure of public health," she says.  In the midst of a case surge, other tactics may be more important — such as mask mandates, stay-home orders and closing

Question: Coronavirus FAQ: To Travel Or Not To Travel? Plus, Tattoos And Vaccines Can Mix

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

Each week, we answer "frequently asked questions" about life during the coronavirus crisis. If you have a question you'd like us to consider for a future post, email us at goatsandsoda@npr.org with the subject line: "Weekly Coronavirus Questions."  Airports are getting busier, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention hasn't issued new guidelines for people who are vaccinated. So, what's a vaccinated wannabe traveler to do? That question can best be answered with a healthy chorus of that depends. With 26% of the population at least partially vaccinated, the temptation to return to pre-pandemic life is high. The problem is that — while laudable — that percentage is still not enough to safely reopen, says Charlotte Baker, assistant professor of epidemiology at Virginia Tech. And putting the CDC in the position of giving some people the green light to travel when not everyone has had the opportunity to get vaccinated, she says, poses some thorny ethical issues. "Then you get into vaccine passports and the haves and have-nots of who can travel." Health officials will likely learn from spring break in Miami Beach how much of a spreading risk there is when you have people traveling from all over to one spot. The mayor issued a state of emergency when students who didn't yet qualify to get the vaccine thronged to the popular spring break destination. Then there is the issue of variants. This week, Florida became the first state to surpass 1,000 variant cases of COVID-19. "With the variants, the more people travel the more they move them around," Baker says. "And all it takes is one person bringing it in. So it's best to keep the number of people moving around low." "Some say the vaccines do a really good job against the variants; others say they don't know — and it's hard to put the lid back on once it's off," she says. Until there's new guidance from the CDC, what is the best way to navigate the decision to travel? For that, we turned to Dr. Henry Wu, director of Emory TravelWell Center and an associate professor of infectious diseases at Emory University School of Medicine. "I think whether or not to travel should still hinge on the consideration of risk vs. the importance of the trip," Wu says — adding that it's perfectly acceptable to weigh hugging a family member as important. Vaccines have mitigated the risk but we're not back to the pre-pandemic world, he points out. The general threshold when it comes to the "why" you are traveling should still be higher than normal — even if you're vaccinated. Wu hasn't been on a plane since the pandemic, but his risk-to-importance ratio may soon tilt toward visiting his elderly parents in Hawaii, he says. "I have a father whose health is marginal," he says. Now that he and his parents have been vaccinated, "I am thinking the risk may be outweighed by the importance of seeing him." If you go, here are Wu's suggestions Seeing only vaccinated people would be safest indoors or out. If you do see unvaccinated people, or others who are not fully vaccinated, make sure to keep all the social distancing and masking precautions in play. Most airlines aren't holding middle seats open any more, and security lines may be edging back toward normal. So it's extra important to wear a good mask that fits well and keep as distanced from others as possible. That protects both the mask wearer and others around them, since we don't know how much vaccinated people may or may not transmit the virus.  Consider booking an AirBNB or VRBO instead of a hotel if it will help avoid crowded elevators or lobbies. Quarantine and test before and after — even if you're vaccinated. "It's a small headache in the big scheme of things," Wu says, and it could help control the spread of variants. Consider a trip to a state or national park with lots of outdoor options — and skip the cruise for now because there are too many enclosed spaces and not enough people vaccinated yet. If you are visiting anyone at high risk for complications of COVID-19, double down on your precautions, Wu says, adding that he'll probably wear a mask when he visits his parents.  "From a cautionary perspective, we want everyone to stay home," Wu says. "From a realistic perspective, we want everyone to be safe going out." I got a tattoo two weeks ago. Is it safe to get the vaccine? Yes! "As long as you went to a place that is safe, certified and accredited with a low risk of skin infection — go get [the vaccine]," says Baker, from Virginia Tech. I've heard that people without a spleen aren't protected by the vaccine. Is that true?  "I don't have a spleen," says Baker. "You do have to be careful because all vaccines don't always protect us as well as people with spleens. But there's no known biological reason why you wouldn't be protected with the COVID-19 vaccine." Whether vaccines work as well for immunocompromised people as they do for people who aren't immunocompromised is not clear yet. "We don't have enough evidence to say

Every Friday on this blog, there are buttons displayed vertically. 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.) And don't focus on a political answer. It doesn't necessarily have to be political, though it could be. Also, a reminder: when more than one button is arranged horizontally, it indicates that I'm looking for an answer in the plural. A correct answer chosen at random gets his or her name in this column. Personally, I can't imagine a greater honor. You can't use the comments box at the bottom of the page for your answer.

Question: Federal Judges Weigh Gay Marriage Cases From 4 States

A panel of three federal judges heard arguments in six same-sex marriage cases Wednesday. The cases from Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee "pit states' rights and traditional, conservative values against what plaintiffs' attorneys say is a fundamental right to marry under the U.S. Constitution," The Associated Press writes. Ann Thompson of member station WVXU in Cincinnati summed up the arguments for our Newscast Desk: "State attorneys say a cautious approach makes sense and voters should decide whether to allow same sex marriage. The other side says couples can't wait." During the 6th Circuit hearing, Judge Jeffrey S. Sutton questioned whether the courts were the right place to legalize gay marriage. "I would have thought the best way to get respect and dignity is through the democratic process. Nothing happens as quickly as we'd like it," Sutton said. Here's what the cases are about, as summarized by the AP:  Kentucky has two cases in play. One has been brought by three couples who are asking to have their out-of-state marriages recognized. The other is about Kentucky's ban on issuing marriage licenses to gay couples. Michigan's case came about when a lesbian couple challenged the state's law "that bars them from jointly adopting their three children." Ohio has two cases: One about noting a gay marriage on a death certificate, and another about listing both gay parents on their children's birth certificates. Tennessee's case is also about gay couples being recognized on their kids' birth certificates.  The New York Times notes why this hearing on gay marriage bans could go beyond these four states:  "If this court were to rule against same-sex marriage, it would create greater pressure on the Supreme Court to rule on the issue to clear up the contradictory decisions among appeals courts."
