And, if you missed them, available for streaming online . . .

PBS' Bill Moyers Journal. Moyers delivers an essay on the state of a juiced up nation, explores whether or not the Constitution should be altered and looks at global impacts from economic
theories (the guest on that segment is political theorist Benjamin Barber). The program also posts full transcripts. In addition the website features an exclusive online report about what the FCC rammed through (watch, listen or read).

PBS' NOW with David Brancaccio addresses the issue of being homeless as they probe a new program which provides apartments to homeless persons." NOW with David Branccacio has also selected their "Top 10 NOW reports of 2007" (currently on the front page of the website).
